How many guests? How many of your guests are children?
I'm having a big wedding just because FI and I have such a big family and FI has a lot of friends...
We both have huge families, too! It definitely has its pros and cons :)
We are trying our best to keep it under 150, but I really doubt that's going to happen. It'll probably be closer to 175 or 200.
We won't have too many children other than the ones that are in the wedding. Not many of our guests have young kids! (lucky for us.....)
It gets bigger and bigger by the day. Right now we are at 150. This is including 8 children that are family and 5 children that are not...
122 guests (on the guest list). 112 are adults and 10 are children.
Some won't come ofcourse but we think we'll end up having aroun 100 people.
That's just immediate family and friends.
We are having a small wedding; no more than 50 guests. There will only be 3 children present, and they are older children (9, 10, and 11 years). Having a smaller wedding allows us to have the wedding we want without all the added expense to keep it what we want.
We are having a very large wedding. We both come from large close knit families and we have friends. Right now the guest list is at about 400. And our wedding party is large too. We have a total of 40 people in our wedding.
Heh, so far I am the only 'small wedding' voter. We're trying to keep it to 75 guests!
Our wedding will have 20 people max..no children. If BF's cousins come, then there will be am 18 month old.
Ours will be capped at 50. I wish it could be 40, but my boy is one of 8 kids and his parent both have new partners, so unfortunately if we want to invite friends as well we needed to bump it up to 50.
We are having a small wedding 60 ppl max.
We only have are immediate families here in Canada, the rest of our relatives live in Australia, Africa, and England. A few select family members of FI's are coming over but the majority of our guest list is close friends.
Well, they say that 20% of the guests you invite don't show up, but there is the chance of some guests inviting other people so it evens out.
Hmm... I think we're going to be somewhere between 85-105, but I still picked small.
Small... A big wedding to me is over 115 thats just too many people for me to thank for coming : )
We are sitting the guest list at 50 people and not for sure how many of those guests will be children but we want more of a family friendly event.
Our room maxes out at 150, that is what I keep telling myself and others:) i just keep repeating it over, and over, and over. I am sending out STD hopefully today or tomorrow and if EVERONE said yes we would have about 130ish, but that is also excluding FI's co-workers who depending on how many no's we have we might do more of a causal sign up then formal invitations.
As of right now, we're planning on inviting right at around 105 guests! It would have been really easy for our guest list to balloon up to about 200-250, but we were determined to keep it small!
Ours is 200-250 and I have cut the list. There are SO many people that we could ask but just can't.
125 guests. I'd have loved if it could've been kept at 80. but we had to invite 85 members of DH's family. Meanwhile I invited 5 of mine. I didn't know a lot of ppl at my wedding but we paid for 150 seats (saturday night requirements) so...yeah.
It will be under 100 guests. For one reason, we're trying to keep it at a reasonable budget, and two, SO is not inviting his family (long story) So it'll be just some of his friends like 10 ppl and then the rest my family and friends.
There's pretty much no way possible for us to have under 200 people. Looking towards 235 including kids and potential crashers.
In my culture, that's considered to be a small to medium wedding
20 max here (one child)! No wedding party! (Just a maid of honor and best man)
i have a big family too... but they weren't invited to the ceremony so most opted not to come to the reception either, and lots weren't invited to anything! we ended up with 30 at the ceremony and 95 for the dinner. i get bad migraines, so we had to keep it small to keep my stress down.
I wanted something small...somehow 50 people turned into 120 really fast!
We started small but it kept growing! So we capped it by booking a venue that only holds 70 max...although we'll end up with around 80 as kids have their own room!
We have 15 for the ceremony and then 100-120 for the reception.
we are still working on the guest list but i have a feeling it will be in the 120 range. FI has a humungo family and my family consists (literally!!) of my parents, sister, BIL, and uncle..then our side will be some family friends too... maybe 40 people.
So the wedding will be filled with FIs family by more than half!
We'll be having about 200 at our wedding. My family alone will be 60-ish people so it made it hard to have a small wedding.
We wanted to kepp it small to under 100 people, but our guest list is now at 220!!! It is because a lot of people have kids and we feel like we have to invite the kids. Also a lot of friends have SO so that drove the guest list up too!
we wanted closer to 140, but it looks like we're going to be inviting close to 200 and expecting about 170 to show up...that includes less than 10 kids
We are inviting a little over a hundred. My original number was sixty but that would not included very many of our friends. It was really hard to choose who we could invite.
Interesting to see how evenly split the poll is right now. We'll have 50-60 guests, which I feel is just perfect.
I am curious, is everyone in agreement that 100 guests is an appropriate place to draw the line between a big wedding and a small wedding? Anyone who feels that 150 is small, or that 75 is big?
@Littlestbirds I think 100 is a pretty good place to draw the average line. Personally though I think anything over 80 is a big wedding.
LittlestBirds I was just curious how many guest ya'll bees were having at your weddings... I didn't really know how many guests were a small wedding and how many guests were a big wedding. I heard of some people only having 25-60 guests and I heard of some people having 150-300 guests. I wasn't sure if there was an in between. A medium sized wedding or an average wedding or what not.
trugem- how are you haivng 40 people in your wedding?!?! That is HUGE, but you are blessed to have 400 people you are that close with!
I will be having around 200. I am one of 5, FH has just one brother. But both of the parental units have more than 5 siblings (my dad has 12, stepmom has 10, etc. ) and I have 7 living grandparents (step moms parents divorced and remarried, along with my biological). We are all really close which makes it hard to do anything small!
We're having a small wedding, under 50, only 2 are children (flower girls, we didn't exclude other children, just no one else has any young kids)
I wanted to go to the courthouse.
Our guest list is currently at 210... most of which will probably come.
Pleased, I am not.
Well right now we are inviting 165 and hoping to have 130 come to the wedding. I think we will be closer to 150 due to the size of our families and all the drama we have had to deal with. I really did want a wedding that was about 125 people, but I don't think it's going to happen that way!
We also have a B list that has about 30 people on it. I honestly think that we will never even go to the guest list but don't tell the ILs or my parents that! Shhhh :)
