How many people will you have at your reception?

April, on April 26, 2018 at 17:46 Posted in Wedding reception 0 27

Thinking about numbers for our reception, how many do you anticipate? More than attending the wedding? Less?

    Thats super exciting!! I thought at first these numbers seem big, and I thought ours would be "small" but all the sudden as we are thinking- the number keeps creeping up!

    We invited about 13 people to the ceremony, but we have a guest list (so far) of approx 70 to the reception. The list keeps growing as we think of more people. We really are pulling this together last minute, I'm so glad for this website for ideas!

    Everyone we are inviting is invited to both the ceremony and reception. We invited 148; so far 25 have declined, and we are expecting a few more so looks like our total will be about 100, which is what we were hoping for!

    We're inviting about 120 people to the reception, but we don't expect them all to come. Our venue can fit 150 people, so it wouldn't be problematic if they all came, but we invited a lot of cousins that we're not so close to, and we're getting married in my hometown, which is quite a long distance away for most people (including us).

    We'll probably invite some more people just to the ceremony, but again, the distance might deter many of them.

    We're inviting 135 because that's the most people our venue will hold. My fiance's sister had 240+ and it felt like too much for us, so we wanted to limit the people to those who were important to us growing up and who are important to us now. No random extended family, and parents' co-workers for us lol.

    We had about 75 people for the reception. We had a bit of a destination wedding since it was 3 hours from where we live so some people couldn't make it.

    We should have the same number of guests for the ceremony and reception as they’re actually in the same place! We’re inviting 120 people and half of them are overseas so not everyone’s going to come

    We're inviting 200 or so. Anticipating the full 200. For the ceremony, assuming the same number will show.

    We've invited the same people to the ceremony as to the reception. A total of 79 people have been invited, I think we'll end up with about 72.

    We invited 139 people and 117 said yes on their RSVP. I hope not too many uninvited people show up because we literally only have three more chairs.

    We are inviting about 18 total. I suspect all will attend. It is a wedding disguised as an engagement party. Smiley smile

    We invited 85 people, and most likely all 85 will be attending the reception!

    We invited just under 130 and have roughly around 80ish people coming. We are technically having a destination wedding so a lot of people couldn't make it.
