How many people did you invite? What did you need to guarantee as your minimum? I heard about 20 percent say no. Is this about right?

we plan on inviting 100 people but a lot of those people will have a plus 1-3. I was freaking out about the minimum so my venue was nice enough to give me prices for 3 different minimums. My lowest minimum is 120.

Every bride is different. I say more more 10%-15% 20% seems high. Its more of u have allot of out of town guests. The way I see it in our case people have been waiting 8+ yrs for us to get married and vertebrate and we had an 20 month engagement so everyone has time to know not to make plans.We r inviting 205 to.210 our min is 175 im thinking we will be at 175 180. There are a few old family friends that won't make the drive and some purple we r giving plus ones that won't have one.

We are guaranteeing 80 for our venue. Most of the people invited are close family, so we know they're coming. I did plan for a couple of people who may not come (mainly due to distance), but I want to say most of everyone will be there.

Our minimum is 100. Right now, we have 130 on the guest list. I expect most of that 130 to come.

We do not have a minimum, but the most our venue can fit is 120 (140 if we rent different size tables). We are inviting about 122 right now, but that may change if FH and I decided to invite anyone from work. I would love to have 100 people there.

Our minimum is 110 and ideally I would like 125 to attend so we are going to invite around 140-150 people and see what happens.

We are inviting 185ish and our minimum is 125. I'm reallyyyyy hoping about 135 max. come. Any more than that and it is going to be difficult with budget. So that would be over 20% but FH and his family think that many people on their side won't be able to attend, so that's what I'm banking on :)

We're planning to invite 110 and our minimum is 100 lol. We really want to stay as close to 100 people as possible & I can't foresee more than 10% saying no. But we do have a b list incase more people say no than we're expecting.
