What percentage of people do not attend?

We are inviting 300 guests to my daughter's wedding. At my son's, about 20% didn't attend. Do you think we could depend on that amount? The guy at the place said its more like 20 or 15% Does anyone remember the amount that they had not show?

The average NO rate is 20% according to recent brides who have been asked. Some have had 15%. I don't think anyone had 100% attendance unless it was a smaller wedding.

I agree... I believe the average is 20% decline rate. We invited about 230, wanted and got exactly 180 'yeses' so that's about 22%.

No-shows is a different story.
