Invited about 135 people, about 105 came. Some that were invited were out of the county/out of state and I KNEW they would not come, but since they were family I sent an invite. Day of the wedding though, had about 6 NO SHOWS!
We invited over 250 (can't remember exact number) and 211 RSVPed yes. Fewer people actually showed though - we probably had closer to 180-190.
65 of 80 came, only 1 RSVPed and didn't come due to an emergency. That's 81%.
Our venue had room for 90, and we counted on the '10% will RSVP no' rule, and invited about 96. Maybe 97. It seems none will RSVP no. Oops.
We wanted very intimate wedding due to death of my father a year prior to our wedding.
We had a destination wedding (2hours away) where we took our first vacation.
I was planning for 60 and totoal of 44 guests attended. There were last minute cancellation and things. I will advise to have about 10% less of seating than your 'yes'.
I also went to other weddings where there were EMPTY tables and handful of tables were not filled. It was sad... they took a loan to pay off their wedding.
We sent out about 80 invitations and got MAYBE 20 responses and only about 15 of them were yes. We ended up with 65-70 people...
We invited 142 guests, with 70 rsvp'ing yes and 68 that attended-so just under 50%. Had I known that ahead of time, I would have invited more people. Our situation was similar to yours, in that almost all of the guests had to travel to our wedding. Most traveled 3-6 hours, but it varied.
Our guest list was roughly 50% OOT, 8hrs drive away.
We invited ~220 and ~140 came. So roughly 65% replied yes.
So far only half the guests have RSVP'd actually its 49%
We just got our final head count and we invited 200 and are having 147 show. You wouldn't believe how many people didn't RSVP though, so I waited about another week after we requested everyone to RSVP by and had to ask...awkward!
I'm very nervous about this, like many other brides! Our venue holds 400. We are inviting 397, but we are hoping for closer to 300. We have a mix of in town and out of town guests invited, but I would say around 75% is from the area.
My parents are kindly footing the bill for the reception, and they said they will only pay for up to 300 guests. I don't really want the added expense, but my fiance is confident we can handle it if there are too many people. I hate to say this, but I hope there are quite a few no-shows!
this is my predicament as well.. its out of state for at least 50% of our guest, and out of town for EVERYONE! i dont know how many over we can actually invite if any!
as my mom says send one to them, and i say no we cant thats too many and she says they wont come! aaaah this scares me!
We had 300, invited 352.
We actually only had maybe 12 people that didn't RSVP at all. And maybe 10 "no's"
So we had quite a few RSVP "yes" then not show.
But we kind of got word from some of them about a week out or so and I was already applying the 10% rule. So we were good.

My wedding is states away (close to a 12-13 hr drive or more) for the majority of my side of the guest list. Besides some family friends, the FI's guest list is at least 5 hrs away. What were your percentages of yes/no rsvps? How many came? How many didn't?
