My minimum is 180, so I think in general that means I should plan to invite around 225. Is that just 225 on the A list? or 225 all together?
What's your minimum and how many are on your lists?

Re: A list, B list an minimums
We have a 125 min., we're aiming to have 130. Right now we have about 155 on our A list and another 50 or so on the B list.
We actually sat down and went through who would likely show up and who were more courtesy invites, but what we were told was in general, expect a 15% decrease. So if you invite 100 expect 85 to RSVP yes.
Hope that helps a bit

Re: A list, B list an minimums
our min is 175 and our guest list is at 260 - currently there's no A and B list b/c I'm afraid that a lot of OOT won't be able to make it and I'd rather invite 260 now just to be safe. I dont mind if more than 175 show up. FH might though

you should make 225 your minimum on the A list and have at least 10-15 people 0n your B list to send out invitations to as soon as you start getting back 'no's'

Re: A list, B list an minimums
our minimum is 130 and we are inviting 173 people (but I already know 6 people who will definitely not come so we are really only starting at 167). If that 20% holds true, than we will be right at our minimum which would be SWEET!

Re: A list, B list an minimums
Our min is 250 and I have about 340 on the A guest list right now lol.. like 25 on the B list.. Thinking of upping our minimum to 275 and getting the cheaper price per plate.. so then it would be like a 65 person cushion.. For our engagement party we invited 204 and 142 showed.. that was with 2 months notice, so I figure a cushion of 60+ should be plenty!

Re: A list, B list an minimums
Our minimum is 100 and I think we will invite 120-125...
I'm super nervous about this...if people don't bring guests we might be under the minimum...but I don't want to invite too many because what if everyone brings a date??
