    Our first round of invitations is out and that was 110 people. Don't have all the replies in yet, but normally, from what I have read, it's about 65-70% attending from the invites. We are thinking it'll be about 70-80 people when the dust settles.

    We invited 150, 85 said they’d come, 75 actually came. It was how many we wanted, there were just some obligatory invitations we didn’t expect to come

    Our wedding will be small with close family and friends. We have about 50-55 people on our list.

    I think we have 118 on our first round of invites and an extra 10 if there's space. Plus the two of us and 4 vendors. We can't have more than 120 people in the room, which I thought would be more than enough but after input from FH's family, we'll be pretty tight, which I'm a little bummed about.

    We have 109 on our list. Can't invite more than 120 because of space. I'll be happy if we stay around 100 or less.

    Currently 130, though we're planning to take another look at our list this week and that number might increase a little

    FH and I always knew we wanted to keep it small, so we've invited 60 and we think in the end the number that will come will be 50-55.

    We had invited about 160 people, only got back 110 RSVP's, and then including us there were 103 people there. It was the perfect amount of people for us

    We had just over 300 people on our guest list! I would say it was a medium size wedding with closer to 200 people showing up (take into consideration my parents had a wedding size of closer to 500-600 people).
