# of guests

I'm trying to gauge the actual size my wedding will be. FH & I both have HUGE families so we are limited on how many friends we can actually invite.
We started our 'must invite' lists and we're already at 215 guests (this is including +1 for our single family members and friends)

For those who are already married:
How many invites did you send out, and how many were actually AT your wedding.

For those who are still planning:
How many invites did YOU send out.

We invited 205 people. 165 RSVPed yes and the day of we had 10 no shows. So, our final headcount was 155.

[[shakes fist at no shows]]

Ok, that makes me feel better.
My sister invited about 220 and had about 155 (her husband is from the midwest so she knew alot of people would probably not come)

My brother invited about 180 and had about 150 but his wife's family isnt as big as ours.
(damn my mother for having EIGHT brothers and sisters!!!)
