Are you team big wedding or team small wedding? What is it that you like most about your choice? I personally am team small wedding, but I love the feeling of intimate dinner parties and get togethers with best friends. Also my FH hates being the center of attention 😅

    This was a tough choice for us too. We ultimately didn't invite cousins, but invited aunts and uncles, so we could have more of our friends there.

    Ooooh a Monday wedding sounds fun! Good on you for planning for a lower turn out as a result, but I hope his family can make it!

    Thanks that's the number we came up with for his family, some of my family maybe from out of town and few of our friends.

    Team medium! We don't have much family left (we're 2 sexy seniors) son we are blessed to be able to invite our close friends and some former co-workers. Invites will total 90, but being most guests will be coming from out of state we feel the numbers will be closer to 65.

    Team small technically!
    I thought my 110 person list (expecting a out 80) was huge!
    Turns out. It's not. Many people I've talked to now say it's tiny! But im self funding, so small it is!

    I am team small wedding. I don’t like being the center of attention. I’m a true introvert. Pretty sure by the end of the night I’ll be in a corner somewhere taking a breather 😂. The venue holds 200 I’m shooting between for 60-80. That’s still pushing it.

    I suppose we are team medium, he has a big family, but only counting family, very few close friends,the wedding party and us, we are sitting right about 90 for our count. I honestly wish it was smaller, I hate being the center of attention. I’m more of the let’s run off to the woods and do this alone type.

    We wrote out our bare minimum invite list an we are at 150'ish. We also have a small list of 20 or so that are on the B list. They add up quickly! Still trying to cut it down but we have ALOT of close friends being in the fire service.

    I am definitely team small wedding, while my FH is team big wedding. He has a large extended family and is surprisingly close with all of them ... ugh... 😂. So far, our guest list is between 105 and 110. WAY too big of a wedding for me! I'd like to narrow it down to 50 people, but I'll probably have to settle for narrowing our list to 80 people .... almost a perfect comprise. 🤷‍♀️
