    Its each set of parents, each set of sibling and their spouse, and then one long time friend (known her 18 years). Another long time friend was invited (known him 13 years), but he couldn't make it because of the military.

    We have invited 153, with an understanding that at least 20 or so will RSVP no. RSVPs are rolling in now (due back to us by 9/29), so we don't have our exact final count... but I anticipate about 120.

    It sounds like your total number of guests is going to be super close to last year's national average! Smiley smile

    We don't have a count yet, but we're definitely inviting over 200. Both the FH and myself have huge families on both sides, and we have lots of connections from over the years!!

    We’re at 💯 guests so that’s less than the average of 127.

    Under: 12 people invited. Close family only, I wanted to be able to interact with everyone attending on a personal level. There'd be no time if I included extended family and friends, and I'd feel bad not being able to talk to everyone.

    Completely over. We started at about 420 but I said no way am I entertaining that many people. We are now at 275 and I’m pretty comfortable with that number.

    Definitely over on the invites but that's about the number I expect to actually attend.
