Who makes up most of the guest list?

Is your guest list heavy on the family side? Or mostly friends? Who's taking up the most space on your guest list: friends or family?

    It's hard to say since some people are technically friends but I have them on my family list. I'd say there are a few more friends than family maybe.

    I hear that both my parents have 7 siblings and we see most of them regularly so family (my side) is eating up our guest list.

    More friends but not by too much. We had a smallish wedding and we each had family and friends.

    It’s pretty even to be honest.

    Mostly family but mostly excited about the friends.

    Honestly I think it was about even..might have been slightly more friends since all my family lives in England.

    Family. To be fair, this was never going to tip in the side of friends number-wise with each of my FH parents' having 7 siblings and most of them are married.

    It’s kind of even. I have a large family but not many close friends but my fiancé has many close friends that we consider family but not a lot of blood family members invited.

    Definitely Family! 2/3 of our guest list is probably our combined families

    Family makes up most of our guestlist. i'd say it's about an 80/20 split between family and friends.

    More family was invited but more friends came. Most of my family is from another province and I didn’t think they would come

    We have about 50 family members on the invite list and 40 friends. So fairly close but a bit more family.

    Definitely family! My family is so insanely massive. We decided on having a very small wedding because we would have over 200 people just from my side of the family 🤪

    Family. We are keeping our wedding to family that we see most often. The only friends coming are the couple that was there when we got engaged, and one of my FH's friends who he did a lot of music stuff with.

    FAMILY! He has a large family so I would say that maybe 150 of our 250 is family.

    Family is defiantly a large portion of our wedding- I believe we have maybe 10 friends coming to the actual wedding and rest later on
