    Hoping you can get the guest list of 75 like you want!! What kind of personal touches would you want to add?

    I would rather only have 30 than 300. Our list is at approximately 116. But I know there is a 30% mortality rate, so our number should be about 70-80ish. Still big, but not overwhelming. My FH and I are very introverted and being the center of attention is difficult for us, so only having our really good friends and close family will help make the day relaxed.

    30. Much cheaper on our pockets and not to mention we have this thing we are only inviting those that have had some impact in our lives and/or relationship. Not inviting people that are just probably going to spectate, talk about us, and eat the food we pay for. nope not on our dime. lol

    Our rule is if we havent talked to a person in over a year, they are automatically not on our A list.

    If I had unlimited money, 300. It has been a real strugglebus to get down to the 100 we can afford, I couldnt imagine cutting back to 30!

    Totally understand that, it can be nerve racking to have a large group of people staring at you! 70-80ish sounds like an awesome size!

    30 because the less people the more intimate. marriage is a very intimate thing to me.

    It there wasn't a budgetary issue i'd love the 300. We're probably going to have between 100 and 125

    Definitely 30! I am not a huge fan of large crowds, and I don't have that many people I am super close to. Having a smaller wedding would be intimate and special. Plus, we've save lots of money. Smiley winking

    30 for sure. If only FH would get on board. I was originally thinking 50 but our list has grown to 100 very quickly. 🤪

    We're choosing small over large for many reasons.

    Oh boy! I feel like that happens a lot, you start smaller and then it keeps growing!
