How many people to invite?!?

We REALLY, REALLY want to keep the wedding to 200 - 210 TOPS. How many people should we invite to ensure we get NO MORE than that?????


I'm thinking 235.

There's no sure fire way to guarantee a certain number. If you only want 210 then you could try inviting 230ish. But you're always gambling. You never know though, they could all say yes!

I would say don't invite more than 240.

One of the banquet managers we spoke to told us that there's a 15% drop off rate. Hope that helps.

If you want to keep it there, don't invite more than 5 or 10 over. You are gambling either way. We wanted to keep our list to 125 and it grew to 170. I am praying we get no more than 130 to 135.
