I want 150 because that is how I planned for everything! Now i'm inviting about 230.

My dad keeps saying 'Oh they wont' go but they'll send you a good gift'. I don't even care about the gift but like honestly stop inviting people! lol

I remember some past brides mentioning that however many invites you send out, statistically it will be likely that 15-20% will decline/not show the day of, so if you want about 120, you could invite 150. I am going by this rule and praying it works for me because my guest list is WAY bigger than I would have liked...Darn distant relatives

HTH!
