    Goodness...I would feel bad for the people that I had to leave out if I did only 30, but it would save so much money, and the rest of the people who couldn't come would surely send gifts...

    But I have 300 people already in my broadest guest list, so if I could afford it I'd definitely invite them all. Smiley smile

    But in the end, 30 would probably be my choice. Both immediate families, grandparents, best local friends, and that would fill it all up.

    *I just made a "list of 30" and I had a hard time actually keeping it at 30. I didn't have our wedding party include any groomsmen or bridesmaids, though, which would even it out so that the plusses would make it only 30 guests. This was a great exercise!

    300 because I would be able to celebrate with my family and friends.

    Definitely big. My side of the family resembles "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" minus the whole Greek thing - 42 first cousins here! Smiley laugh Our estimated guest list is sitting around 350 right now.

    Just counted...if I ONLY included parents, siblings & their spouses + kids, grandparents, and our closest friends in the bridal party - 35 guests. I guess the best thing about weddings is that no two are alike!

    If money was no issue I'd say 300!

    I would rather keep it small and intimate. While, having 300 guests may be a great time, by keeping it small and intimate you’re cutting costs in a major way. It takes lots of unnecessary stress off of the couple!

    Aww 90 sounds like a great number!! Small enough that you can greet each guest!

    30 guests. Paying for 300 people seems insane to me.
