    We originally estimated 100 guests. Then we started writing down names, and the list quickly ballooned to 130. Then we looked at our budget, and decided that 80 was a lot more affordable, so we made some cuts to our original list. Hopefully, most of them will make it!

    Hi Cristy! It's completely normal and common to reduce an original guest list until you have your final copy! I'm sure they will all be thrilled to celebrate with you! Smiley heart

    Under! We are having 85 guests and we would've gone lower if 70 of those guests weren't family members (only includes aunts, uncles, first cousins, and doesn't include cousins under 18 years old).
