    I would go with 30. It would be a more intimate wedding with our closest family and friends.

    Definitely 30! I am having a smaller destination wedding and we will have 35 guests attend. In my opinion, your wedding day should be about YOU AND YOUR FH- not spending your day entertaining 300 people.

    30, definitely.

    I cannot imagine the chaos 300 people would be!

    I rather invite 30 guests, because I know myself and others would get claustrophobic if I invited 300 also I don’t know 300 people 😂

    I originally wanted 50..it may be 75 at the most and that is inclusive of vendors. Small is better all day! Most of my vendors are either family or friends....lol

    For me even 30 is too many. We had 4 guests at our wedding and it was perfect.

    30! I wouldn't want 300 at my wedding. At our wedding we are actually having around 30. On my side the guests are less as I only wanted my parents, grandparents, and siblings which is under ten guests while FH side adds a little over 20 as we are only inviting immediate family and friends. Neither of us know 100 guests let alone 300. I couldn't imagine having that many guests and feel the smaller the guest list the better as the only people anyone should invite are the ones they absolutely want there or regularly speak with or see at least once a year however if someone wants 300 and can afford it I say go for it. My FMIL actually made a comment once about someone else's wedding that a couple should invite the entire community and only serve appetizers or cake with punch. If we invited the entire community there would be 500-1000 guests which um that's not happening.

    Oddly enough, 300. I'm an introvert but I feel like I'd have to make less conversation because I'd have less time to speak to all of them lol Also it would allow everyone their plus ones and kids that unfortunately at 150 I am cutting out.

    30!!!! All about an amazing experience.

    We had a DW with 15 guests & local reception for 50. Splurged on food, drinks & entertainment.

    My count has reached 120. I'd prefer it to be half that but we can't pick and choose which uncles and cousins to invite or not invite, because everyone knows about it already... 30 is my choice between those two for sure.
