Almost non existent, so definitely intimate. The lucky few will probably be family.

We have both decided on a small wedding. So our guest list is only 30 or so people, but with as many kids that everyone has there will end up being about 50.

Big, but not too big. About 150 people. Almost all family, and a few friends.

We've invited around 130 people and expect around 110 to attend. We sent invites to some we knew would not be able to make the trip but wanted to extend the invite away.

Oh guest list has gotten longer since we ordered too many invitations but it looks like, and I’m hoping, less than 100 people will show up.

Our guest list is at 150... much higher than we originally wanted... but my FH kept adding people! I'm hoping with RSVPs we'll get it down closer to 130.

So far just family and close friends for the ceremoney and dinner. For the rest of the reception I'm sure there will be a lot more. We live in a small town and when there's a wedding, everyone shows up for the party

Mostly family with some close friends and co-workers. It's not small but not larger; I'd say moderate in size.

My limit is no more than 90-100 people, hopefully only 80 will actually come and that would be even better. I'm having a hard time figuring out if we should allow kids or not. ???

150 is what our reception venue will hold. The guest list is currently 120-130, but we already without sending invites know some of those won't make it. He has a very small family and most are spread out and he's not close enough to them for them to make the trip. Which makes me a little sad for him, but I've told him I have plenty of friends and family to share. My church family has been super supportive and welcoming to him. I'm trying not to reach the full 150, but I've also been reconnecting with my dad's side of the family and since my FH & I will be living nearer to my dad's side, I've been thinking about how to build those relationships more.
