How big is your wedding?

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!

    We invited 200, and we're at about 155 as of right now at 25 days out!! If a few more couldn't make it, I wouldn't be mad

    I've heard whatever your estimated guest list is, only about 20% will show up. I hope that adds some perspective. I'd like to hear other peoples thoughts on this.

    We made a list and it came out to 155-160 guests including kids. The final count though should come out to 130-135!

    Invite as many as you want and can afford - this is YOUR wedding. Don't let people tell you you're inviting too many or not enough.

    Some people prefer having 500 guests and some prefer having 50. It's totally up to you and your future spouse!!

    We are having a small ceremony (only around 25), and then 80 total for the reception afterwards.

    So far I have 75 on my guest list. It's only my first draft and I expect to add more. I'm giving myself a 200 limit.

    If your venue can hold that many and you really want those people there then invite them.

    We have 112 on the guest list but only paying for 109 since 3 of them are kids under 3. We're hoping the "20% won't attend" rule will apply to us. But since we're having it at Disney, I highly doubt it.

    We have about 55 people attending our wedding. But we are getting married at our venues patio... keeping ours more intimate. But everyone has their own perfect number. However many people you have will be great!
