    Grande! I love the intimate atmosphere, but our guest list was huge!! We always knew we'd be in for a big wedding!

    I want to keep it intimate but since me and my fiancé are the first kid in the family we’ve got to have a grande wedding...

    We will be having about 100 guests but I prefer more intimate weddings.

    In the middle. Our guest list isn't huge, but it isn't small either. Our guest count is probably going to end up being more towards intimate though since all of our guests except a handful will be coming from out of state.

    Intimate.... I don't want anyone in my wedding who I don't speak to on a regular basis. I don't do fake.

    I'd say more in the middle. We're planning for 150 but know not all will show. I still say that's too big!
