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!

    I am inviting about 150 guests, they always say to expect around 80% of your guest list to be there! Smiley smile

    Most of my family/friends have had 250-350 guest weddings. Maybe 2 had a small 10-15 guest for dinner after a courthouse wedding. See local postings of some having up to 400 in their wedding.

    We are settling on 100 guests & the just feels right for us. It sometimes awkward answering 'why aren't you having more people'...cuz we aren't able to pay for that many without doing a cookout type wedding & opted not to go that route. Because I've had enough stress in my life to know that I would NEVER be able to enjoy our day with more than 100 guests to personally talk to (probably table visits).

    We invited 160 but also already knew some that would definitely not show so will end up with 140 if not less.
