    For the ceremony - under as the room can only hold a maximum of 60 people
    and under for the reception party the day after too.

    Under, we are hosting about 50 guests. We both wanted a fairly small wedding.

    Hi Sara! Will your guests mostly be family or friends?

    We wanted a small wedding, like 50-60 people, but it’s turning out to be 100.

    Hi Haley! I think that 100 people to invite is a great number! The likelihood is that not all of the guests you invite will attend, making your actual number of guests closer to your intended number!

    Right now we're inviting like 130 but we know a handful won't be able to come, so we're hoping for 100

    Kind of half and half. We're still waiting for everyone RSVP. We're are not trying to go over 120 but if so, 150 that's it! 🙅🏽‍♀️

    Way under! Right now we're at 41 confirmed, and we're still waiting on one last guest to respond. My fiancée and I agreed this weekend that we're at a good place with the budget and guest numbers that we can each invite a few more friends, since our wedding is 90% family and +1s, and skews pretty old. If all of them confirm, it will push the numbers closer to 50.

    Hi Roshelle! You are pretty close to last year's average number of 127 guests! I wonder how close you will end up being to that number! Smiley smile
