    The max we had on our guest list was 120 however the venue said 70 is the max. SO 70 is our lucky number, we are still a bit out from sending invites and getting RSVPs back so that number may be less.

    We decided to keep it small and intimate, so we plan on inviting 50.

    The actual number of people I invited was a lot like 320 I'd want to say but we only wanted 260 to come for our guest capacity of the venue. We had a lot of no rsvps. My wedding is in two weeks and we are at 255pretty much as final count. I am hoping that's final and no more changes. I wanted a much smaller wedding but we let our parents invite people. All in all it's ok though.

    We are figuring about 150 invited but figure that we probably won’t even get half that

    Ugh god I thought I always wanted something smaller like 100 people and I quickly realized how unrealistic that was for us ahah so then it went to 200 and then ballooned to 260. We are expecting 250 though.

    We have a max of 200, but invited around 225. Expecting a lot of respectful declines from out of the country and out of town relatives. Unfortunately we had to really debate on friends we could invite.

    180 (: and most of them are family. That number is also counting kids, so I think we're okay.

    We have not hashed that out completely, yet. But he has a HUGE Italian family as well as step-father which he is close with. So it is 3 families we have to invite. For me, just my parents are coming as my family is strewn all over Europe and will more than likely not be able to make it. I'd say we are expecting somewhere around 100 guests.
