    Under! Invited 119, I think we will be closer to 90-100 when RSVPs are finalized - we’ve already had ~10 guests decline.

    If you invite just one more guest you'll be at the national average from last year! Smiley smile

    Invite wise we were at like 160 but we just sent them out so I’m not sure on actually numbers but we’re thinking we are going to be in the 120-130 range when all is said and done

    Wouldn't it be funny if you ended up having 127 guests, matching the national average of 2017 exactly?! Smiley smile
