    Most of our guests had to travel I would say. 1/3 live in the same city, 1/3 came from Ontario (where I’m from) and 1/3 from other parts of the west (BC, Yukon, other parts of Alberta.

    Basically all our guests are local. Some of my Fiancée’s family is travelling from New Brunswick (where she is from) and Quebec.

    Most of my guests are local but there are few long distance, Belgium, New Brunswick, Maryland, Pennsylvania, BC, I think that's it.

    Farthest trip: China. FH does a lot of work overseas and has invited someone he has worked a lot with over there.

    Closest: Literally my immediate family, FH, and me. The ceremony location and reception location are in town, so it's all within 15 minutes for each of us.

    Most of our guests are all over southern Ontario, from Windsor to the Quebec border.

    We have some from BC and Alberta, as well as friends from Northern Ontario. We also have some guests from the states: mostly Michigan and Ohio, my godmother lives in Louisiana. One of my FH's groomsmen is currently in Australia, so we'll probably come from the furthest place.

    My furthest travelers were my aunt and uncle who retired and moved to Mexico years ago, and my aunt currently living in Winnipeg. Closest travelers just happened to be my parents, with a 10 - 15 minute drive from the next city over!

    I have an uncle, his wife, and my cousin in California who would be coming the furthest, if they come. We're not really close with them though so they may or may not make the trip. Otherwise my sister - who's one of my MOH's - and another aunt, uncle, and cousin will be the furthest, coming from Calgary.

    The closest will likely be a couple who are good friends of my parents and live less than 10 minutes from the venue - closer than me and FH even lol.

    The rest will be coming from all over southern Ontario - GTA to London to Chatham areas.

    Furthest: A third of the guests will be coming from Ireland and my grandfather will be coming from Italy. Two guests will be coming from Florida and two from Massachusetts.

    The rest of the guests are from the GTA. Me and my parents will have the shortest distance on the day: only 10 minutes.

    I had a lot of family travel from the U.S.A. since it was the nearest country.

    As for international family, it could have gone to India and Philippines as they are mostly there and some in Spain and other parts of the world. That didn't happen though since I didn't send out the invites that far out.

    Our wedding is in Downtown Toronto! Half of our guests will be coming from around Southern Ontario (all over the GTA, Guelph, Ottawa), the other half are all coming from different parts of the states - NY, California, Georgia, NC. I also have family members flying in from Philippines which I'm so happy for!

    Mine too! My sister is my MOH and she lives there, so coming home for a lovely family visit!
    The closest would be the few family members who live in the same city as the venue. The rest are about a 20 min drive
