Re: What percent of guests RSVP 'no'?

Generally they say 10-20%, but My friend recently got married and had 250 invites, only 5 people said no. You can't really go by that number.

Supposedly it's 20% BUT I've only gotten 18 no's and 70% of my guest list back. Of those who have already responded, less than 10% said no. I still have 72 adults that I'm waiting on (despite the fact that today is the due date). I can give you better numbers at the end of the weekend.

Re: What percent of guests RSVP 'no'?

You just never know. Our invite list was 300, and we're having 220. Turns out a lot of out-of towners (mostly my mom's side) couldn't afford to come, as much as they wanted to. Plus, we gave everyone single person a guest, and a lot of them decided to come single.

So, I had a 27% 'no' rate. My advice is - invite as many as you can afford and no more than can fit in the room. It's easier than trying to predict the future.
