Not enough guests?

I am sorry you feel this way! I am 31 but one of the last of my friends to get married. I've worried about this too because I feel like everyone has been there, done that. The weddings I've attended the last 2 years certainly aren't as wild as the ones in my mid 20s, but I am still really excited.

My parents are in their 60s and pretty youthful. They'd love a photo booth and they and all their friends will definitely be on the dance floor at my wedding. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised! Serve alcohol and I'm sure people will have fun!

Much better to have plenty of room than be cramped. You're never too old, be glad you found someone. 75 people is a nice sized wedding. I don't know your crowd so can't guarantee they'll be dancing or using the photobooth, but I'm sure your wedding will be lovely regardless.

You are not too old at all. If you feel the need scale it back alittle and make it more casual that's a ok!

I had 65 people at mine and if I could go back I would've gone even smaller. 75 is plenty of people. Technically all you need is FH, you and an officiant. (and I think a witness).

We went with a big venue and DJ and we're only planning for about 50. So don't worry about it! Celebrate how you want, age doesn't matter. Be happy you found the person you want to spend your life with.

Stop it!!! I love, love, love my intimate weddings, and all my officiants will say the same thing! With 75 guests, you can really enjoy interacting with each and every one of them, and it's going to be wonderful.

I can tell you that the trend I see is for smaller, more carefully curated weddings, and I personally think they rock. Your guests will love the photobooth, you'll have a chance to talk to everyone, and the people you choose to be with you? They will really want to be there.

Don't feel weird at all!! It's going to be fabulous!

Thanks all! I just feel weird having a venue with a huge room and only that many people. I hope I am worrying about nothing. I should focus on more important things, I know.

The weddings I've been to lately were just as much of a party as the ones in my 20's. HaHa!! I'm almost 38 and most of my friends are late 30's early 40's. We all love to dance and drink. It's definitely a know your crowd decision but if they are anything like the people I know, everyone will be dancing and using the photo booth. 75 people is not small. My engagement party was 80 people and I didn't even get to visit with everyone.

Don't think that way! WeddingWire forums sometimes say to stop stressing that "It's not YOUR day". I beg to differ. It most definitely IS your day (of course be a good host and all...) Celebrate it. Your guest list number is perfect. It won't be empty. It'll be perfect.

I'm 46 and it's my first marriage too. We're doing it just as if we were in our 20s, because we both waited so very long to find each other.

We had 85 guests, it was my second marriage, and most of our friends are in their mid-30s, but we still had a rocking dance floor. I felt like I got to spend time with almost everyone. Don't let your age determine your plans and don't think that your wedding is fated to be less fun.

Oddly enough, my venue supposedly can fit 125 and I felt like quarters were plenty tight at 85, so I can't imagine what full capacity would be like in that case!

That's a pretty typical size wedding my sister only had 60 n it was plenty

Gods timing is funny I always thought I'd have gotten married years ago

I think your wedding will surprise you with how much fun you have. Lead by example. You get out on the dance floor and shake it. You make silly faces in the photo booth. Congratulations!!

I think 75 is plenty. I went to a wedding that had around 50 people and they all still used the Photo Booth and had a great time. The age of your guests does not matter either. People in their 40's still have fun

75 is quite a lot- my husband and I got married last month and we only had 35 guests, everyone enjoyed themselves.

I am looking at 68 guests , 8 think 75 is plenty it'll give time to spend with everyone instead of the possibility of not getting to interact with everyone

I'm older than you are!!! First wedding. Lots of invites out. Those who want to come will come. Just Dance!!!

I'll be 43 two days before my first marriage ... we are having a small wedding (50) in an 'arcade' type of venue .. my son will be 18 y.o. and my man of honor .. I am glad I waited this long. I know what I want and whats important. No need to spend extra money on fly by the night type of friends (as opposed to 'younger' people who may be more inclined to invite college buddies, high school friends, etc) .. And tbh, who cares if the dance floor is empty as long as you and your hubby are having the time of your lives!!!!

It's a good amount. Don't worry.
