    I'm not sure what size I want yet. I'm debating on just immediate family or family and friends??

    It's surprising how quickly the numbers add up. Our family and a handful of friends adds up to 100

    Apparently it is going to be big. 220 people, didn't take in to consideration that most people will bring a plus one. And only 6 people said no to coming and that was couples.

    The more the merrier for wedding ceremony (doesn't cost more or less to have more or less people), and a 150-200 max for reception (which is small in Asian terms)

    We'd love something intimate, but with all the family that has to be involved, it doesn't look like that'll be the case. Maybe we'll just go sign some papers and get it over with

    Ours is bigger than we had originally thought it would be. Wanted 150 or less but invite list was close to 240 in the end. We have had some declines though so I am thinking it will be closer to 200 attending!

    I am doing my very best to keep our wedding small! Our wedding is a "destination" type - approx 9 hour drive for most guests. Further, my fiance and I both come from small families. Our goal is to have a final count of about 100 attendees, but so far our guest list is closer to 175!
