    We've got 70 on the list right now but 20 of them are out of state and I wouldn't ever expect them to attend. We're doing a Tuesday wedding so of the 70, I honestly only think maybe 30-40 will come.

    We are inviting my family which is almost half of the guests and my fiancé's family, my friends, his friends, and my family friends. We are looking at 80 at the least.

    Invited about 85, hoping to keep it closer to 70 or less though so we can have our ceremony outside on the patio!

    Inviting 100, but hoping for about 75! We have a ton of OOT guests, so I'm sure we will have plenty of declines.

    45! We wanted small and intimate. Naturally we still have family begging to add on 15-20 more but it's just not what we personally wanted Smiley smile

    We invited 70 and hoping for 50. We want to keep it intimate. I do not want it to feel like a family reunion and I do not want to feel overwhelmed trying to converse with everybody

    Right now inviting 50 but there’s 1 one more I might add. We’ve already talked to family since we didn’t do save the dates and some of them live pretty far. There’s about 9 that may not be able to make it.
    My mom and I decided that inviting my grandparents would be a good idea, but not sure if they’ll want to come since I’m marrying a woman. We’ll see how that goes I guess!
