question about guest list

My wedding is on a Sunday night so I expect for the decline rsvp percentage to be high but how many should I invite to at least reach my minimum? The min is 130 and I am inviting like 175. Any other Sunday brides starting to worry about this??

I think you anyone who would normally come still will even though it's a Sunday night. I would count up your ddefinite yes's and then add maybe 20% more to be safe. Weddings are very common on Sunday evenings now. You might get people leaving early but I'm sure they'll still come

i'm a sunday afternoon and invited 160 ... so far, we're at 112 yes's with about 30 people who still havne't responded.

if you have the 'usual' 20% no's, you will probably have around 140 .... i think you should be ok ... if you're worried, you can always invite 10 more people (though in the very worst case, you can just use your extra space on vendors, or free upgrades, or just invite LIW people)

i think people dont go to a wedding because its a sunday... i think its safe to assume its in line with the average no percentage

My minimum is 120 and I have 150 guests to invite. I am going to just invite everybody and am hoping for a 20% decline.
