Invitations

Inviting 290, likely 200 coming (waiting on more RSVPs still). It totally depends on who you are inviting- we are inviting a lot of people who live out of state/country and expected a lot of them to decline.

If your wedding is local and on a Saturday night, you will have a higher yes rate.

View Quoted Comment My wedding is local and room maximum is 250 and we somehow invited 250 ppl. Is the room gunna be too tight?

Yeah but unlikely for all 250 to come. You may get close to it though so I would not invite anyone else

We had a small destination wedding and invited 60 and 54 came.

I had a 20% decline rate so invited somewhere around 300 and final count that showed up was around 250

We invited 113. 100 RSVP’ed yes and showed up. All out of guests had to travel a minimum of 1 hour to attend our wedding and several others were from out of state.

Daughter invited 127; 101 accepted and attended. 80%, no no-shows.

Invited about 170, RSVP aren't due until 3/14 but so far we have about 45 yes and 18 no. I think we will end up with about 120 or 130 attending

We went back and forth in the beginning. Started with 160 and cut the list to also cut down costs. We 100 RSVPs and we shall see how many come. Don't forget to add yourselves we almost did. Haha

Invite 25 plus a plus 1 somefar from the STD noone rejected when i send out the official invitations ill know forsure

We invited 225 and had 125 attend. Over 100 of our guests were out of state and we invited plus ones and kids, so a lot of people came without a plus one or without their kids if they were out of state.

I did a lot of research on this because I'm wondering this. I see on the forums and on articles anywhere from 15-25% usually decline. I'm hoping I have about 20 declines LOL. I even saw a formula someone did and rated the percentage of likeliness to come and took the average and even got the range I mentioned above. I did the same with mine and it was more so about 15% decline.

I think in total we invited about 90. 16 are part of our wedding party, the rest is family, friends and coworkers.

I have 5 so far who are unable to attend due to health/accessibility reasons (our venue is on the 3rd floor of a building with very old fashioned, narrow stairs and no elevator access). Mostly our surviving grandparents, and my father who recently suffered a health set back that means he is not medically cleared to fly (he lives in Fl, we live in WA, getting married in OR).

I know several of my aunts/uncles on either side are not coming for various known and unknown reasons (I expected this but I felt I had to invite them anyway). One of FH's friends declined due to a trip he had planned to visit family outside the country with his wife & kids.

Other than that, still waiting for the rest of the RSVPs to be confirmed. I'm thinking we'll end up with right around 80 since we have some alternate guests we wanted to invite depending on the original lists' RSVPs.
