    SAME! Big families make it hard to keep it truly intimate!

    I would definitely consider that semi-intimate!! It's really nice that you were able to pick those that you're close with to be apart of your special day!!

    Grande! I honestly wish it was a little more intimate but my husband says otherwise

    I think we were in the middle. Total count with us and our wedding party was 96. We got to spend time with every single one of our guests (and eat!) and enjoy the evening.

    Grand! We're going to have over 200 guests. I really wanted a small intimate wedding, but my fiancée has a huge family. I'm not complaining though. I appreciate everyone coming out to support us Smiley smile

    Im kind of in the middle but at most I wanted 150 people that are very close friends and family. I would definitely choose intimate though! It's makes it more personable & makes the wedding more your style & your guests will enjoy it too.

    Will most of your guest list be made up of your family?
