Would you rather... add 20 guests or cut 20 guests?

If you had to choose right now - would you rather add 20 more guests to your guest list? Or cut 20 guests?? ✂️ Next Question: Would you rather have your maid of honor or best man officiate? Back to the Beginning: Would You Rather?

    Oh that's easy cut! I really hope I have declines because although we can and will plan and pay for everyone, the more $ saved the less I have heart burn lmao

    Our guest list is only 60 people. Taking 20 out would be a pretty dramatic cut. I’d go with add 20. I would have to think for a bit about who those 20 would be.

    That's a hard choice. We're only invited guests that we really, really want to attend. I guess I'd like to add 20. But I guess it would be nice to have a few more.

    Cut 20 because it would lower the catering expense. But if I didn't have to worry about money, then I'd add 20.

    Cut 20! Although that would be hard to do I would much rather have a smaller wedding.

    Cut! It's already bigger than I was initially anticipating, FH kept adding people to the list, bless his heart. I finally had to cut him off!

    Add 20 guests! We are expecting 350 as is but the main reason we picked our hall is because the capacity was 450. Sooooo we have room (and food) to spare Smiley smile

    I would have cut 20 guests. My wedding was a lot bigger than we expected, and while it's great to have those family and friends support you. It takes away from a lot of personal interactions.

    I think we invited at least 20 people who would not have been surprised if they weren't invited, so if we had to cut twenty (and if they hadnt already gotten save the dates,lol!) we would have been okay. I'm so glad we *are* inviting them though!

    We have some flexibility, so 20 extra would be okay.

    If budget and space allowed it I would add 20 people. I have a big family and friends but right now most of my guest list is family and only a few friends

    Cut 20. Don't have the budget for them and don't really have 20 more people I care about THAT much to invite haha.

    If it didn't add to the price tag, I'd absolutely add 20. If it did, then I'd cut 20.

    I would rather cut 20. We both want a small wedding and adding 20 would be pushing us uncomfortably close to 90.

    Add 20. If I could have justified spending more and having a bigger wedding I would have loved to invite more people. But we opted for a small wedding of 50.
