I originally wanted a tiny wedding....I'm talking 100 people. Then when we went to the RH, we guaranteed 135 and I was like that's big enough. We aren't even done officially with our list and we are at 178....where did all these people come from? lmao

How about you ladies..when you FIRST started planning, what was that magical number you threw around and where are you at so far?

Re: # of guests wanted vs. # you are at so far....

We were hoping for 125 and we are inviting 170 so we should be around that

LOL I know. They were amazed that it did! I know that everyone in his family and mine will say yes and that puts us over our minimum anyway. It all depends on my work people, his work people and all of our friends (both seperate friends, as well as mutual friends...well, now that I typed that ALL of his friends are mine now and vice versa lol You know what I meant!)

Re: # of guests wanted vs. # you are at so far....

we're actually the opposite lol...we said 350 in our heads, we guaranteed 275 and im at 245 right now and thats without getting my dads list, he has quite a few ppl he wants to invite well i know most of them and grew up with them but aside from my parents friends i am very close to and want there no matter what ill leave it up to them on which ones to invite...and actually looking at the list i also realized fh left off some of his friends so we'll probably be at about 275-300

Re: # of guests wanted vs. # you are at so far....

Re: # of guests wanted vs. # you are at so far....

We invited 170, but I wanted to stay at our minimum which is 125, so far we are at 103 yes 19 no and still waiting for about 48 RSVP's....

Re: # of guests wanted vs. # you are at so far....

I wanted around 200, and our list is currently about 225....I think we will end up around our target!

ETS: 230 is our MAX so we better be done with the list! hehe...

Re: # of guests wanted vs. # you are at so far....

We originally wanted 125 people had to guarentee 100 then FMIL added 10 extra people and then FH added clients from work so we're at 150 and i refuse to allow anyone else to come! lol

Re: # of guests wanted vs. # you are at so far....

We only wanted a hunderd but our final count is 132 including ourselves. And thats not including the people who will probably show up with a guest.

Re: # of guests wanted vs. # you are at so far....

we wanted around 150, thought our invite list would be around 175. But, turns out our list is around 230 so we're hoping for no more than 200.

Re: # of guests wanted vs. # you are at so far....

At first 75-100, We have to guarantee 150, I think we're up to 180

ZKAT22 Posted: Dec 26, 2007 07:18 PM

Re: # of guests wanted vs. # you are at so far....

we wanted 150 tops so we made a guest list of 180....our list ended up being 275, so we upped the guarantee to 190 and the hall threw in some extras

Re: # of guests wanted vs. # you are at so far....

I feel a little better after reading this.

Invitations go out next week!!!

We wanted and guaranteed 100.

Our original guest list was 130 and unfortunately we're up to 150 thanks to FIL's (They aren't helping and FH allowed them to invite more people to 'replace' people that they knew weren't coming).
