    Well for us it's big but we hear it's small, about 100 ppl. We were hoping for 70 or so, we have 1BestM, 1 GM, 1MOH and 1 BM.

    Definitely a small wedding. Coming from a huge Italian family where everyone needs to be invited for fear of offending anyone, it will be nice to have only those who truly support and love us there.

    Medium-ish. Were are inviting 100 people, but, where a lot of articles and people say 10-20% RSVP no, we are thinking we will actually get about 80, Given the size of my FH family, I'm tempted to say small (each of his parents have 6-7 siblings!)

    It would be hard to have a wedding smaller than ours!
    We are eloping. It is us, with our 2 children who will also be our witnesses.

    Small intimate wedding at a conference center that is now closed. Beautiful venue and had activities to keep family with kids busy during the time.

    Pretty average/medium sized - Our current invite list is sitting around 130 people (including plus ones), but we're estimating only around 100 people will make it (85% of the guest list is out of town).

    Small wedding. Inviting 100 and I think maybe about 80 will be for sure. Wedding party will be small as well one person on each side.

    My FH and I would’ve loved a small destination wedding, but we have such big families it’s impossible. So, our wedding is going to be pretttty big. Our minimum count sits at 425 right now!

    I'd call it medium - we have invited 140 guests and we'll see how the final numbers play out. Hoping for around 120.

    We'll have around 70 people on the guest list. Is that considered small?

    Small! We're hoping our final guest count won't go over 100 people, which will be perfect.

    Small. The room we booked at our venue only holds 30 people. We’ve had ten RSVPs declining. So, twenty people. Still bigger than I wanted but my fiancé and I compromised as he wanted a bigger wedding.

    We will be small in my eyes 100 people invited and later in night more but would have been huge if invited everyone we wanted.

    We had a small wedding. I hate 150+ weddings, they are most definitely not our style.

    We’re in between with approximately 120 people. It’s surprisingly small considering I’m Italian (FH is not)!

    I guess we are medium. Our guest list is about 135 right now. We haven't sent out the invites yet so we don't yet know how many people will actually be coming.

    I would say medium. Initially we wanted small, but when it comes to an Italian family, if you don't invite someone, they get offended... so we are at about 120-130

    I would say medium size, we have 95 ppl on the guests list so far and not much room left as our venue capacity is 100. I would have liked to include a few more friends but that's the way it goes!

    BIG! Our invite list was over 300 people and our venue only fits 250... and that was them pushing it.... So far with all of the RSVP's from the first round of invites we were able to invite everybody though!

    Small to medium - about 90 people! But tiny by Greek standards so FH's family is a smidge disappointed.
