    That is probably where we are at, but we don't expect that many to attend. We're aiming for 90 attendees. A lot of invites we're courtesy invites to family and friends overseas.

    Smaller!

    We're hoping our final headcount will be around 100 people or fewer.

    Larger.... our max. capacity is 250 and we wish there was more room... We sent out the full amount of invitations and have a second wave of invites to send as soon as we receive the RSVP's

    If you’re worried about a lower guest count, I know some people have a “B” list if they need more guests - which I know makes some people cringe to do!

    but have you thought about inviting maybe some extra coworkers? maybe some friends you didn’t invite the first time?

    Smaller - under 80 people (if we are lucky). It’s looking closer to 60. It’s frightening because the venue we chose has a food and beverage minimum of $16,000. How do I spent $16,000 on food and beverage for 60 people?? I’m already having a 5 course meal, canapés, free alcohol and late night snacks! Slightly 😩 stressed

    We are aiming for 100.

    We have out of province/country family who are invited but unsure if they will be able to attend.

    We invited 70 but 60 are coming. We definitely wanted more than 40 for a party but less than 100 for money reasons.

    We are pretty close. We have 148 on our guest list, but I know a good chunk will not be attending. So smaller than the average!
