How many guests do you have

Mary, on May 2, 2019 at 12:52 Posted in Plan a wedding 0 27
I was wondering how many guests are attending your wedding?
Mine is about 60 and I’m not sure if it small amount!

    We've invited approximately 160, so we'll just wait and see how many respond!

    We have 146 counted for, we assume we will have a few "no's" however already some who we didnt expect to want to come have said they are... so we may end up with the whole 146. Our venue only holds 150 so it will be tight when you factor in vendors.
    Also, we wanted smaller, but once you factor in everyone's +1's and their kids etc it really added up as we both have large families.

    We have 188 confirmed atm! It honestly depends on you! Don't compare yourselves to other weddings, what works for us doesn't work for others! Like for us there would be no way we could only do 60 people, we would hit 60 with his immediate family alone ahha!

    That's a small number. Venues cater from small to large based on the seating capacity.

    We had 72 guests plus 4 vendors in total. The total seating capacity was 160.

    Our venue holds 88. The number that I am hoping for is 75. Our wedding is in the mountains, which is at least a four hour drive for most of our guests.

    We had 300 come to ours because both sides of our families are quite large. Personally I wanted something smaller so I would get the chance to everyone and talk to them. I think I only got around to talking to half the guests.

    I wanted 100 guests but over 160 were invited. Our RSVP deadline was yesterday, we are sitting at around 115 guest so far. I dread getting any more RSVPS though.

    We had about 40 at our wedding; we wanted to keep it a small family affair. Like Gina, we were able to visit with everyone for a meaningful period of time, which meant a lot to me.

    60 is fairly small, but not tiny. I agree with the others though, *any* wedding is amazing, as long as it is what YOU want it to be Smiley smile

    We are inviting 250 people and expecting around 225 to make it! That's a pretty "average" wedding size in both of our families.

    We invited 140+ people, but we know only 65-70% of people will actually be able to make it (there is a lot of family on both our sides overseas who just got a courtesy invite). We're hoping between 90 and 100 people come.

    Our guests list sits at 97, our venue only holds 100 I think, but that might be for sit down dinners. Either way, I'm good with where we're at.

    We have invited about 150, I know a good chunk will not be able to attend, so we are hoping around 120-130 to attend.

    We invited 70 and 60 will be attending. Anything more and I wouldn't be happy with it. I'd consider under 50 to be small, 50-100 to be average and 100+ to be big. So I'd say you're average.

    We're inviting 250 and have a 2nd wave of people we would like to invite if we receive no's from the 1st wave. All things considered, our wedding is small compared to my parents wedding which was 500-600 people!

    We're inviting around 150 and will probably get close to that! I feel like it's a good medium, not too large but I was hoping to keep it under 120.

    We’re inviting probably 200-250 people.

    I expect we’ll have ~150-175 turn up.

    I agree with others; small weddings are great and big weddings are great! Whichever your preference is, you cannot go wrong!

    My wedding was 60 people and it was amazing! I was able to visit with everyone for a good amount of time which was important to me. I think small weddings are amazing and I think large weddings are amazing, you win either way!
