    We are going to be inviting 236. Even though I am planning and budgeting for 236 people to show up, I hope/wish we have a high decline rate. if we could have like 175 or less people that would be great!

    I have 33 on my list right now (including wedding party) and keep looking at it to see if I can cut anyone.

    As of today we have 228 on the guest list but I know several people will not be able to make it given the date. We figuring we'll land a little below 200, likely around the 190ish mark.

    My invites+vendors = 297. We are still 5 months away, but the bridal party, immediate family, and some out of town guests that have already planned travel we are at 53 confirmed, and 2 declines. 2/3 of our guest list is family. The rest are close friends. We thought until we counted that we would be under 100... That didn't even cover immediate family+aunts/uncles. All 4 of our parents are one of 5+ kids, and I am 1 of 4 and he is 1 of 3! There are 7 people who we never got addresses from and 7 co-workers that I am not committing to until closer to the wedding.
    Total 311! OMG!!

    We have about 130 people only 20 of that amount is from my side lol the rest is the fiancé we haven’t sent out the invitation yet but I’m guessing only 90 will actually show up which is perfect for us since I really want a small wedding and I don’t even want many people coming to the ceremony I don’t want to much attention it makes me a bit nervous and anxiety starts happening

    I’m not entirely sure. I know all of our immediate families will be there as well as grandparents and aunts and uncles. And of course our close friends in the wedding party and then more of them just as guests. I guess maybe around 150-200?

    We have sent invitations, and so far, everyone who will be in the country at that time has replied that they're attending. Many of our guests are local. We have a while yet to hear back from everyone. We may not have full attendance from our out of state guests.

    9 guests. We invited 10 originally, but one person couldn't make it because of military obligations.
