    We invited 156 (way more than we ever wanted) and 98 are coming (very happy with this number).

    Too freaking many! Lol we have 128 invited. So far 36 have RSVP'd Yes and 3 No. So we'll have to see how many guests we end up with once our RSVP deadline is up.

    50 guests but I can think of 10 that will definitely decline because of health issues

    Wedding is in less than two weeks. We originally invited 173 guests, then added three later on. One was a friend's brand new girlfriend who I wanted to extend the invitation to. One was a huge faux pas on my part forgetting to invite the girlfriend of another friend. Luckily they were really understanding and happy to invited even though it was late. The third was a distant family member that I didn't plan to invite but wasn't worth the drama. Our final count was 153 yeses and 23 nos, but two friends just let us know of their change of plans so we are up to 155. Among the now 21 nos, 3 people are actually choosing to just attend the ceremony and skip the reception.

    We're inviting 200. That's our venue's maximum, and even though I'm sure we'll get a fair number of declines we absolutely do not want to risk over-inviting
