    I'm inviting 115 and I thought it was a lot of people... I guess to some, that's considered a small wedding... 😂😂😂

    I think 115 is a great number!! But yes, with large families a lot of people can have guest lists up to 400!!

    I don't even think I could come up with 300 people I know, so I'd rather go for 30!

    Lol although between both my fiance & I our family, friends, co-workers, & everyone our parents want to invite we would have 300 people(can't afford that), but I feel that I want to have a personal intimate wedding even if I could afford to have 300 people I would rather have just 30.

    If we had the budget, it would be so much easier to just invite the 300! His family is pretty big and mine is enormous...... this has been our biggest issue so far!

    My preference is 30. However, with the amount of family and friends I have my count is at 85 alone. That does not include any suggested family members my parents want to invite. With that said, we are only sending out 100-150 invitations with great hope most are unable to attend. There will not be any fill-ins. 75 is ideal for me. With that number, I can add more of the personal touches, better favors, gourmet dishes, etc.

    I want it small and intimate so we can enjoy it. Instead of being too busy and stressed it's about fun. So few moments are just about enjoying life so I am making this one special for us. Renewing life and vows at our unwedding!!

    300 guests is so expensive so I totally understand that! What is your current guest list count at?
