    Under! We had 108 people RSVP, but only 82 showed up. Bit frustrating for financial reasons, but we are happy with who did show up!

    Under. At first we said our max would be 50 but the list goes up quickly. Our max is 75 but we seem to have topped out at about 65. We'll see about additions. (No kids except wedding party/ siblings)

    Guest list is currently 120 because my mom keeps deciding to add more friends and family than I initially planned (extended cousins, great aunts/uncles, her work friends). Which is okay because my parents are generously paying for the wedding, but my hope is that a maximum of 100 show. We'll see!

    With a guest list of approximately 120, your wedding will likely have closer to 100 guests which is what you are hoping for! Smiley smile

    Way under! We invited 69 and right now have 27 confirmed. It’s a small Destination wedding so I don’t expect too many more.
