Out of curiosity, how many people are you inviting to your wedding? I'm inviting 200 and people think that's large, and I'm just wondering what everyone else has in mind!

I'm inviting 200 and people think that's large, and I'm just wondering what everyone else has in mind!
We have a guest list around 75. FH has a big family but we cut down to just his aunts/uncle and their kids for his side. Almost all the cousins invited are older.
Our venue holds 200 people. The thought of such a large wedding does not appeal to me so I am really trying to cut the guest list in half but having a hard time with such a large family (I have nine siblings, my mom is one of 6, and my dad is 1 of 10) My FH on the other hand, he is very cut throat and only wants to invite his closest relatives, even if that means only 2 cousins from a family of 4, etc.
Too big. My mom is paying, we told her we wanted to cut the guest list at 200. She sent me the "updated" version of it two weeks ago and we are sitting at 300. We both wrote out our guest lists of everyone we wanted to invite and it came to 150 people. AWESOME. Then we sent over to her so she could look it over and proceeded to add 150 more people. Most of those people I've never met and I wouldn't care if they showed or not but she's paying so whatever
I wouldn't say that 200 is extremely large, my sister had 250, but we chose to only invite 40 of our closest family and friends and expect about 30 to show.
P.S. my FH's parents had 700 people at their wedding (married in the 1950s)...now that's LARGE!
Inviting between 25-30 but that's only because we want a super intimate wedding. There is no right or wrong amount as long as you are following your heart and can afford it.
