My guest list is 100 guests...should I invite 120?

My wedding planners suggested maybe having aa A and B list. So when you start getting NO's, then start sending out from your B list. This way you will be sure not to have too many people. But this can be scarey if someone finds out they are on the B list. Good luck

Never invite more than what you can handle. 15-20% is not set in stone and you could be the one that all your guest shows up. I would send out my A list weeks earlier, and then once you have how many not coming then send out round b to those extra.

My guestlist is 200, I've invite 250 including bridal party if everyone show I can handle the extra because we are planning as if everyone will so, if your venue require a min I would invite more if you can afford the extra if they show, that better then paying for plates no one will eat

I dont want extra but my enue do not have minimum. I am inviting 225 but I pray for just a 200. I can afford either but simply just do not want to. We will have a final count one month prior to my wedding.

This is always a tough thing to decide on. The A list B list is often the best approach. Be sure to send out your invitations well enough in advance to accommodate an earlier RSVP date. That way you will have time to send out any last minute B list invitations. Number your guests on the B list as to importance, that way you can be sure any additional people invited are the important ones. Hope this helps!

I would go ahead and invite 20-30 more---there will be a few no shows too.

I never understand the B list and stuff like that..i mean i do but the way i see it i am inviting x amount of ppl...and if they can't come sweet! i am saving more money! im not gonna add more to make up for the ppl who cant come..thats just me.\ i love to save anywhere i can

I have a list a & list B...I am planning on sending out my list a early do allow for those on list b to have enough time to respond. We are having 105 guests (mainly family) but we want to invite friends in case family can't make. If you are sending out STD only send to List A persons. General rule of thumb is everyone who gets a STD should get an invite.

Good luck - its the hardest thing is deciding the guest list
