    Small, we’ll have our kids be the flower girl and ring bearer, I’ll have one or two MOHs and my FH has one BM and potentially one GM (if he can afford to come from South Korea where he’s living). At most, we’ll have about 65 guests. We’ve also been thinking about doing a private ceremony in the mountains with just immediate family (under 15 guests if that’s the case) and a bigger reception back home later (still probably no more than 65 guests).

    Medium I guess. It started out on the smaller side with around 90 people and now its exploded to 160. And FMIL is now trying to invite extra guests that just "have to be there!" Our venue maxes out at 170.

    I think it's more average than small or big. 5 bridesmaids and 5 groomsmen. Hoping for 150 guests but it's looking closer to 165ish.

    Small! We had a DW for 15 guests, local reception for 50 guests. My favorite weddings to attend as a guest also 50 or less—really fun & intimate.

    I guess big. We each have 4 standing up with us, and we've invited ~160. RSVPs aren't due back for a couple weeks so we have no idea final guest count yet.
