how many are you inviting how many do you want to show?

so my mom gave me her list today, she has 87 and she figured pretty much everyone will show. FMIL sent her list, she has 64 but only thinks 47 will show. We still need to get a list from FFIL and do our list. Our goal was to stay at 180 and under. how many do you think we should invite if 180 is our goal?

what is your minimum? The say that 20% usually dont come. You may also want to do A, B or C lists

I think you should invite around 210...

Our minimum is 75 - probably inviting around 130 - I am hoping only 100 show...

They say 15 or 20 percent more. We are inviting 175-180 but want to stay at our 150 min. Hopefully some people can;t come

alrite, so taking in what everyones said FH and I agreed to keep out invite list to about 200 give or take a few. I mean, if we end up under 180, we'll still be happy, just means a few more bucks we can save, lol

Our minimum is 160...we' have 200 on the guest list now. I'm worried about making our minimum.

Looking at our guestlist, FH and I can both predict what people won't make it, which will have a guest, and which won't. Try making predictions like that and see what your number comes out to (it obviously wont be accurate but it might give you a better idea).

Is 180 your minimum? Or just a number you want to try and stay under?

our minimum is 120. the riviera holds 220, but we'd like to be no more than 180 because we dont want to have to put tables down one part of the hall, we want to use that part for the photobooth

If you invite 200 you should be good! I hate all this guessing of numbers. I wish I could send out a 'Do you think you'll attend next year' check yes or no, postcard.

BTW- do you know where you're getting your photobooth?

party booths, they hold 6-9 people and so far are the cheapest (and least cheesy looking booths) i've found. FM me and I'll send you their page.
