How many people did you invite?

Just curious how many people you invited to your wedding and how many actually showed up? We have 100 guest minimum and we are inviting 120 hoping to get 100 or slightly over. We cant afford anymore than 120 which is why we arent going to invite more and pray for declines. We are only inviting...

We cant afford anymore than 120 which is why we arent going to invite more and pray for declines. We are only inviting family and closest friends... Never realised how nerve wracking guest lists can be!!! I cant imagine how people have 300+ guest lists we struggled for 120! Lol

    No Adria that's considered a Blist. Don't do that.

    We are inviting 130 but the venue only holds 120 comfortably. It is a destination wedding but not very far from home. What is the standard for how many are invited to how many actually attend? I am hoping for 95 to 110 guests total.

    Destination wedding abroad -- invited 225, total 90 attending! It was totally nerve wracking because we had no idea if we were going to have 40 people or 150 as we were budgeting, until RSVP's came in. But we had estimated 70-100 and turned out perfectly.

    We invited 130 but our venue only holds 120. We invited people that defiantly cannot come because they will be abroad so hopefully only 120... haha

    67 invites went out, our total number invited is 150 including all the plus 1s. We should be right around 100 people. So far we are at 69 Yes and 14 No. Getting so close! Smiley smile

    We have 95 invited guests (I suppose that also includes our vendors since they are on our guest list for the reception dinner).

    I think we have 230 and are hoping for 200. It's an afternoon New Year's Eve wedding so I'm thinking my college friends won't want to travel
