How big is your wedding?

120 invited but thinking about 100 will rsvp yes based on what we have received so far. And the only reason we had so many is because fiancé has a large family.

We invited 311! Way more than I was thinking, were expecting about 200 though. A lot are from out of town/state/country lol

260... Ugh. We both have huge families and didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings, so the number went up quickly. We expect about 200-220. So far we have 50 RSVPd as coming and 11 who have RSVPd no. RSVPs are due September 1st so we'll see how the numbers turn out. We hope for the 200-220 mark, but we're obviously prepared to pay for a 100% yes rate... Because that's just smart!

I would say 200 people is large, but just because you are inviting that many doesn't mean that many will attend (although you should be prepared to pay for that many just in case). I have a large family and our final guest list, because of my family, was 187. The actual attending is 70. We had a VERY high decline rate. Over 50% of our invitees live out of state but I also invited all the aunts, uncles and cousins because I thought that was the right thing to do. In hindsight, we could have planned a much smaller gathering and only invited those we really wanted with us.

If your budget is a factor, you may consider making some hard cuts to your list based on who is actively involved in your life. If not, then the more the merrier. It's your wedding so there is no right or wrong number of guests to invite.

Inviting 175

Right now my list is about200 and that is just for people on my side xD it's going to be big my big sis's wedding was 250 and that was us having a cap on how many people were invited

175 here!

Inviting 174 including kids hoping for more like 130

40 that includes me FH and his 3 kids.

I believe our full guest count at the moment is 247, expecting around 160-180 at the moment. Had a lot of No( holiday weekend) after we sent out STDs.

We're envisioning about 120 guests and are planning our invite list assuming 20% send regrets, which obviously isn't a perfect science, especially just most guest are OOT.

120

We invited 238. 190 RSVP'd yes. I will see next weekend how many actually show up!

133 for final headcount here.

It's not large if you have a large family. I was planning initially for 150, and now we're are up to 270 simply because my close family makes up 110 people on the list. Do not let others judge your wedding based on it's size. Just invite who you want to be there!
