Soooo, against my better judgement, our guest list is going to be rather large. Mr3M cant seem to cut back we are doing 75 people each which is 150 and then their +1 which is 300!!!!!! With (dare i say it) hope that 50 people (25 with their +1) are unable to show due to various reasons.....will take it to 250
Holy moly, thats so many people!!! Thats alot of $$ to feed them all!!
How many people are you anticipating at your reception????
We are inviting around 400. Anticipating about 200, due to the fact that it is a New Years Eve wedding, and 50% of our guest list is out of town.
We want to keep it at 100 but 120 is the most I would want to have.
And yes, 250 people is a lot to feed! Did you get a great deal with catering?
415! And we're capping it at that. 250 of our guests are on the fiance's side alone!
Nope, no great deal for catering, decent considering it includes linens, its about 3800. I guess to some people 12.50pp is a good deal but I guess when I think of it its just seems like so much!
** WOW Oct2010 thats a TON of people, yo must be spending a fortune on food!!!
We were at 333 - but I had to eliminte some +1s because our venue can only hold 250 people MAX - so now we are 257 adults and 33 children = 290 people
Hopefully some people won't be able to make it because it is a travel wedding for most!
We are at 98 people, our reception can hold a max of 100 people....so that makes us choose our guest wisely, only very close friends and family and we can't make an exception because we literally can't hold anymore people!
Oh - I should add that the people who had their +1s eliminated did not know that they had +1s to begin with - and all are single, and for the most part know each other. I would never eliminate a +1 if the person knew and/or was in a relationship.
Hopefully 50 or less! We know most will come though.
We're having an intimate destination wedding with reception on or near the beach!
I'm hoping it goes down to 150 (or only 150 yes RSVPs, anyway)... but as of today there are 205 people on the guest list. :(
Hopefully we'll have no more than 150 attending. I don't know the final list yet, though.
I'm also hoping ours goes down... there's about 160 on our list, we'd like it to be at 130. I have a feeling that once we send out invites, 160 is going to turn into 170-180 with last minute adds per our families. *sigh*
We have 120 on our list. That goes up to 140 if all single guests bring dates -- my guess is that probably less than half of our single guests will. We're aiming for 100 people at the wedding, once all of the responses come in. I think this is probably pretty reasonable, but I wouldn't be entirely surprised if we end up with a few more than that.
as of right now we have a tentative list of 130...i hope it goes down!!
We are shooting for 180-200... we are getting married on a holiday weekend so not sure if it will lead to more No's or more Yes's.
Since our F&B min is $100/person, we're keeping it rather small - only 60 adults & 8 kids. Plus us, that's 70...and so far, we've got a pretty strong probability that EVERYONE is coming (yay!).
However, I knew the small guest list would NOT go over well with my family, so we're hosting a Christmastime reception in Hawaii (my homeland & where most family live) - that guest list is already at 250 & climbing! We're getting a pretty great deal on venue & food (since it's a very informal gathering), so hopefully the two receptions won't break the bank.
we invited about 175, but we ended up with about 80 due to family issues and weather problems. About 55 of the 80 was the hubby's immediate family. Sadly only my great uncle braved the weather to be there, but still I wouldn't have had it any other way!
we're inviting about 150 tops. most are on my side and are out of towners. we expect it to be about 50 or 60 tops due to the date of our wedding and location.
I wanted 60 - 75, but we will end up with about 100 - 120. I'm hoping that it will be closer to 100. The more intimate, the better in my opinion (for us at least!).
We budgeted for 125, invited 155, but looks like we will have about 110-120 based on incoming RSVPs so far.
There are about 190 on our lists and our venue only holds 150. We arent sending out STDs to everyone, so hopefully that will help cut down the list a bit. Why does every person have to have a +1?? We are doing it so that only people with a significant other get a +1 or, if they are in the bridal party they also get a +1. It would be way too many people if we let everyone bring a guest! I know that sounds bad, but we dont have a budget like that! (or the space)
Im not sure why everyone has to have a +1. I guess I do it because when I was single, i would always feel weird going to a wedding alone and i dont feel like anyone should have to feel weird. I think alot of people that we are inviting that are single are not nearly as insecure as i used to be.
If we could eliminate the +1 for people it would be a HUGE help
finalized our list today it is at 170 ppl. We'll probably end up with 150 at the ceremony/reception.
120 people including plus 1's. Lots of them are from my side and therefore overseas as well so I'm anticipating about 80 - 100 people being there which is good :) It could have ballooned so easily though and I feel like I've not invited lots of my good friends... but then I might just be being soft.
Including expect +1's we have about 150 people...but I'm secretly hoping we are at 100...as a great majority of them are Fiance's extended family that he hasn't seen since he was a kid and half of whom he doesn't even remember.
We have about 190 on our list but we're hoping for closer to 150. So funny as I wanted originally to have a small 80-100 person wedding but I can't imagine not having all of our friends and family there!
We are looking at about 200 guests total, though I think in the end it'll be around 175ish.
i was orginally hoping for 50 but it's looking to be 65-ish???
We're looking at around 70 at the moment but it could go up to 80.
We've invited about 220 (with a lot of OOT) so we hope that we have about 160-170 attend.
wow, you guys know so many people. :O both FI and i have agreed that we want (and will end up with, just because of how many relatives and friends we have who are close enough to invite) under 50 people, no +1's.
We wanted no more then 75 people total...we're inviting about 150 and hoping left, right, and center that only 100 can make it. A 200+ people wedding would freak me out!
65-70. There are 72 on our list and at least 4 for sure will not be attending.
Orignially I wanted 30, then I agreed to up it to 50. Somehow that became 75, which quickly turned to 100. It stayed at 100 for awhile, I threw a fit at 120 and said "NO MORE!". But apparently I wasn't clear because it's currently 175. Amazing how that happens.... ;)
