How many guests are you having?

I met a girl that is having 500 guests and was floored. No way could I plan/ afford that huge of a number...

I am inviting 200 but am expecting 150-175 ( FH's fam has a family reunion the same weekend as our wedding and word is many of his fam will not attend)

Hopefully it'll be no more than 250 although my sis swears it'll be more than 300. Everyone in the world right now says they're coming and people are asking me to be invited. Sorry I have to be a lil mean :(

Our minimum is 175 ... we are inviting 225 ... so will likely end up right around 200.

I have to send out ANOTHER invite so I think we will be inviting 261! Luckily, I know a lot of people are saying no so we will probably have anywhere from 180-200.

Invited about 215. . .sending out the invites at the end of the month, and we're hoping for 180. Our minimum is 150, and we'll easily make that.

Yeah, FH had to tell FMIL not to invite people she said hi to once as well!!!

Right now our guest list is at about 380, Im guessing around 325 will actually show up.

Re: How Many Guests?? ( With Poll)

We are having a destination wedding in Florida. We invited everyone we would have if we had had a wedding here on Long Island. I believe we sent out 85 invitations? we obviously knew we wouldn't have a large wedding. Right now we have 50 people coming to our wedding which we both found interesting since were in a recession! But we're thrilled our closest family and friends will be there for us :)
