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!

    Our initial guest list was close to 300, which we knew we had to cut down. After looking through the list and realizing it was a lot of FFIL's cousins, whose names were not known, we were able to cut back quite a bit but we're still at about 170.

    We invited 225 and expect 200 to attend. I don't think there's a too big or too small if it's in your budget and what you want.

    We are hoping for 180, invited 215. Its hard to know with out of town guests (all of my friends and family!) and how many people will bring their kids.

    We can afford to host 100 guests, including vendors.

    I don't even like 200 people. And I have zero desire to spend an entire evening chasing guests around for a face to face thank you. So - 50! I admire people who pull off huge weddings gracefully!

    We invited 78 people and will be having either 70-71 people come. I was hoping for more like 50 but we couldn't get the list any smaller without missing someone either one of us really wanted there. I would die if we had a big wedding of 200 people.

    We're inviting 200. I wish I could have a more intimate wedding but we both have HUGE families.

    Both FH and I have huge families, so I'm looking at 100 people just from that. Out of our total of 150 guests my guess 120 will attend.
