Percentage of those that said no

I am finalizing my invite list and was curious as to what percentage of those invited declined. Also if many of your inviteds that said they would be there didn't show up . TIA.

Statistically you can count on a 15-20% No rate.

I agree. We ended up with 24% nos.

ETA: We had 11 people not show up. 4 had no excuse (one couple 'forgot' and we haven't heard from the other couple yet), 2 got stuck because of bad weather in the Midwest, 2 were 'dates' that people responded they were bringing and didn't, and 3 people had sick kids.

Re: Percentage of those that said no

I don't think, there's any set percentage. We invited 260 people & ended up with 135, but we got married during the summer during vacation season.

We did however, have everyone show up that said they were going to.

Good luck!

Re: Percentage of those that said no

We invited approx. 265 and had 190.

Let me tell you that trying to figure out the % was so stressful...some people I knew had a range ofa 5% no rate to 35% no rate. It is so frustrating to try to figure out...I really don't think you can....

good luck!
