~*~*~ QOTD 2/20/2012 ~*~*~ My First One

Hi ladies. I'm so excited to be the BOTW. Last night FH couldn't fall asleep because he kept trying to help me think of questions.

Ok for my very first question is...
Do you have a bucket list and what's on it?

And my wedding related question is...
How many people are you inviting to your wedding and how many do you hope to have come?

I have a couple of things I would like to do
1. Go on a hot air balloon ride.
2. Go on a nice tropical vacation
3. Visit Poland and Ireland

As far as wedding guests we have 140 on our list (thanks to my mother) but we're hoping about 120 say yes but since it's mostly family I'm thinking we'll be closer to 130.

Good questions!

I do have a bucket list as well
1. Skydive
2. See Europe
3. Own my own home

I plan on inviting 185 and I am hoping 150-160 come to celebrate with us!

I don't really have a bucket list but I want to visit Europe, Italy the most.

How many people are you inviting to your wedding and how many do you hope to have come?
Were inviting (last time I checked) 235 and were hoping 200 come. Our min is 190.

I don't have a bucket list, but I definitely have things in mind that I want to do. Like sky diving & scuba diving.

We are inviting 165 & hope for 125-130.

1- i had a 30 before 30 list... but there were only 15 things on it... and i did maybe 10
so i guess it should morph into a bucket list...
a couple things i can think of:
~ shoot a gun
~bungee jump
~skydive

2- as of now we are inviting 212 people and hoping for 175.... haha

I don't really have a bucket list - while I've thought about it, I have sorta a crazy eccentric life with lots of hobbies people already haven't thought of.

This weekend I went to a four-course medieval feast, tried Chinese calligraphy, tried Silk painting (lots of fun and useful) and talked about going out to play Airsoft this spring (it will happen!).


As far as invites, we are looking at inviting about 130 and hoping to wind up around 95 to 105.

About 80 percent or more of the guest list lives out of state, so we expect a slightly higher than normal rejection/'No' response. Yet, we've also looked at people we're inviting and created A list, B wishful list..... also we've color coded Green-yellow-pink (hard to find a red highlighter)

Green - Wouldn't miss it for the world. Close friends and family who are as excited as we are.

Yellow - Good friends family, but either live far away and aren't immediate family or have financial issue that might serve as a restraint. We will offer some of these guests the opportunity to stay with our relatives if they have $$ issues - we simply want them there with us.

Red - Health issues, distance and monetary issues are likely to make it impossible to come. Courtesy invites to family mostly.

Then based on that scale, we assume yellows can go 50/50 in coming.. and we're inviting to get in the 95 to 105 range.

Good Question!
I do have a bucket list! Some of my top things are...
1- Go to Ireland
2-Be a Mommy
3- Learn to play the piano

Right now (last time I remember anyway...) we have 225 on our list. Our minimum is 200, so at least 200 we're hoping show!!

Hmm I don't really have a bucket list. I'd really like to go do yoga in India. I'd also like to go to Italy again, France, Japan. See all of Wagner's Ring Cycle. Nothing crazy, lol.

I'm hoping to have around 100 guests. I think we're inviting 120? I feel like the list may even change a little. Our minimum is only 85 but around 100 would be great!

I don't necessarily have a bucket list but for sure I want to travel through Europe one summer (either soon or later in life because once kids are in the picture it will not be as easy) and I want to elusive preferably somewhere that has a beautiful landscape.


As for the wedding list, I believe we are inviting about 215 and hopimg for about 180

I do not have a bucket list. Now that you asked the question I will start creating one. I would like to go to Africa so that will definitely be on my list.

I'm inviting about 210-220. And hope to have 190-200. (But that is wishful thinking)

Haven't really made a bucket list but there are things I would like to do like lots more traveling. Some places I would like to go are Cuba, Hawaii, Europe.. especially Italy.

Haven't checked our glist in quite a while so not sure how many we have on there as of now but we will probably invite about 140-150 and hope for about 120.

Congrats again!!!

I make comments about this that should be on my bucket list, but I don't actually have one.


I don't have the exact total invite number, but in the end we are thinking we will have at least 200.

Great first question!

I don't have a set bucket list, but there are things I'd love to do...like go to Italy, South Korea, skydive, run a marathon.

We are probably inviting between 175-200 and hoping about 125-150 people will RSVP yes.

Honestly we've been meaning to put one together, just haven't had the time yet!

And we're inviting 150 and hoping for 120-125

Re: ~*~*~ QOTD 2/20/2012 ~*~*~ My First One

I don't have a bucket list yet either

As for guests for my wedding, we have to guarantee 200. So prob we will have to invite 250-275. We prob will have 225 for the wedding.
