    We sent out invites to 110 people and waiting for the RSVPs now. We figure with the average % for no's it'll be between 70-80 at the actual wedding.
    Lots of family (each of my FH parents has like 7 siblings with SO) and some close friends.

    We have invited about 200 people. Most of the guest list is all family (we both come from big families) but we also invited our co-workers and close friends.

    Well, it's ever-evolving lol mostly family and close friends, and a few of his family friends that have to be invited due to family politics, but we are actually very happy that our guest list is really only the people we want there!

    My guest list is super tiny! We aren't that close with our family and we only have a few close people to us.
    Our guest list will be around 25-30 guests.

    We had actually invited 150. Some were obligatory (aunts and uncles) but only 85 said they’d come. And then 14 of those didn’t show. So, smaller than we expected but still a blast!

    Honestly it’s around 475. We need to squish it down to 400 so I’m hoping we’ll have cancellations for a handful of people! FH and I probably have a combined 150 friends. Everyone else is family, or friends of our family. Perks of being a south Asian bride and having to invite my great grandfathers cousin LOL

    For us, we invited 128 people and we expect maybe 100 to attend. We prefer a smaller list. Ours is mostly comprised of family.

    We have a smaller guestlist for our ceremony and dinner, and then will open it up for the reception where we want as many people as possible there to celebrate with us!

    Honestly it's mostly family, both biological family and our chosen family.

    We thought we would have a small wedding under 100 people but the guest list added up quickly, we're sitting at around 130 right now

    FH and I always knew it would be a small wedding. We were thinking of keeping it at 40, but then our families had other ideas so we're keeping it at 60. Which is still small, thankfully! It's closest family and friends, and some parents of those friends since we're close to them as well since most we've known since we were kids.

    UGH this is the bane of my existence right now. We'll be on the smaller side but not small enough for my taste. Our list has grown to about 120 with about 10 for a second round of invites and we anticipate we'll come in at around 115 (to leave room for vendors). Most are family with a few friends but some are FH's distant family that I (and FH) don't feel should be there.
