    We are having a DW in Montana. So we will be having a more intimate wedding over their and a home reception with the rest of the family. We will have less then 25 for guests. Just parents, siblings, grandparents, wedding party & their partners.

    We haven’t finished our guest list yet, but our venue cap is 144. We will probably invite that many. It is bigger than either of us would prefer, but we both have giant families (and only inviting immediate family). I know a lot of my family will be upset, as everyone is very close and invites everyone to everything, but I could easily invite 200 with just my family! I would love to keep it at 100, but that just isn’t possible.

    We just started figuring out our guest list, but we're going to try and keep it at about 100 people. He comes from a BIG family, he has 4 siblings who each have kids and grandkids. He has 7 kids and several grandkids. My family isn't large, so we're pretty confident we can keep it around that.

    We're at 90. It could easily be around 150 if we extended it- My grandpop was the youngest of 5, who all had at least 4 kids then there's my generation and there's like 15 of us. And lots of them have little kids now. We stopped at aunts and uncle though because my Dad is one of 9 siblings and his Mom is one of 7 siblings, so that's 30ish people right there! And I would rather party the night away with my friends than my second cousins I see twice a year.

    Our guest count is currently a little over 100 people. I really wanted to put the cap at 100 but my family is huge and I love them all, so I gotta do what I gotta do!

    We’re at 160. We both have large families so it’s kind of impossible for us to go any smaller than that 😂
