Invited 130, 75 attended. This is about what we expected though as we had a destination wedding that was about a 6-7 hour drive from where the majority of our guests live.
we are inviting 145. our venue is supposed to hold 110. we can put people in another section, close to us, (i volunteered to go there), but i'm hoping not to do that and i'd even like to go under. but so far everyone's saying yes, so i'm having freak outs.
We are at 271 right now. I am expecting the guest list to be around 300 by the time we send invites. Our wedding specialist said you can estimate 20% won't come, so we're thinking the final number may be 240-50.
We're inviting almost 70. And seriously, that's almost every living relative on both of our sides..
Invited 216, 197 came. ANy more than that, we'd be talking all night instead of dancing and partying the way we did!
We've sent STDs to 99 total (includers if everone brings a date and all of their children. If I invited everyone I truly wanted, we would have been closer to 250---big Irish family.
I really hope a lot of the already married people respond to this- its interesting to see what percentage came! We are inviting 65 and hoping 50- 55 come.
We are inviting about 60 but our wedding is in Vegas and my family is from Oklahoma and Oregon and his family is from California so we aren't sure who is going to be there or not but the important friends and close family will be there.
We're invited around 170 and we want anywhere from 100-130, it should work out really well since its out of town for so many of 'em.
Inviting between 375-400. I think our guest list is at 360 right now.
Anticipating about 200, maybe less. Several of our guests would have to travel in, and it is a holiday. We will see. I'd love for them all to come!
180 invited, 137 coming, 3 RSVP then un-RSVP'd, which was odd. That is 75% acceptance for a destination wedding, so I am very happy with that number.
Invited 406, almost exactly 300 came (two big families from the same hometown...) :)
And only 2 who RSVP'd yes did not come (wife's sister went into labor and they couldn't make it).
Right now we're at about 90. I expect it to go to about 110 at the most.
We're inviting 250 and hoping that between 200 and 220 show up. If more than 220 RSVP we'll have to sacrifice the dancefloor, so I'm crossing my fingers!
We will be inviting about 197 and hoping that only 175 attend! We always wanted a smaller wedding (max. 125), but being that I have 4 parents (both my parents are remarried) and therefore have to invite four families on my side alone, it simply wasn't possible to get it that low. 197 is the bare minimum of family/friends who we HAVE to invite...we've already done a lot of cutting!
i was struggling with that yesterday too! our venue holds 150. i wrote down 150 off the top of my head. getting the lists for family this wknd. we shall see! good post.
So far we have 80 on our list and are hoping for 50-60 guests. We can't add many because the venue's max is 80, and at max it's very cramped!!
We've invited around 290 and so far the number of "Accepts" is 204. Really hoping it doesn't reach 250, but the deadline is Sunday, so I'd think not. (:
We are inviting 204, but know for sure about 30 can't come and estimate we'll get about 150.
Our lists right now is 105. We are thinking 110 invites sent, so maybe 100 will come?
We're hoping somewhere between 120-150, we're inviting around 190
Invited: 270
Attended: 210
Having worked in the business, we knew that the 20% rule was fairly reliable, so we planned accordingly. Our goal was just to be under 220, so it turned out perfect! Our original list (if we could have invited EVERYONE we wanted to) was 340...so we had to make cuts, and it was hard. But in the end, I was really happy with it :)
We are inviting a total head count of 147 - - we hope our final number is between 100 and 120......Secretly i hope its closer to 95 - 100, 
85 - We really can't fit more than that in our room, but it's really tough trimming the guest list. I'm wondering how many over that I can invite because of "nos."
We're at 180 now, I expect we'll invite 200 and have 125-150 show up. A lot of people would have to travel.
Ours is at 249 as of now and we only anticipate about 200 of those showing up, which is completely fine with me. Our church holds 250 but it'll be a little cramped.
Our list has fluxed between 160-175 - but, it's constantly changing (breakups, divorces, etc.) - and, I have a feeling by invite time, will change again slightly. I'd be happy if we landed at 125-150 guests.
And, you are right - making cuts IS hard. There are so many more people I'd love to share this with me - but, I also know those are not people I'd be invested in their daily life. While they are wonderful friends/acquaintances, we had to draw the line somewhere. That's great your venue was able to accommodate the extra people!
Need to guarantee 120 (will pay for that many ), will prolly invite 140/150-ish and hope for around 130?
We are SENDING around 70 invitations, but announcing it in both of our churches, (mine has 400+ people) and expecting some of them to come so we are expecting anywhere from 100 to 250 people, i hate living in a small town sometimes
We invited 140 (that included SOs and kids), we had 85 attend (many people didn't bring their kids and some people came without their SO or a date). We only had 7 couples total unable to come...so you can see that many people didn't bring dates or kids (thank god) because like @artbee, our venue would comfortably hold 110-120.

of guests!! Yesterday after agonizing with my mom and FMIL for two hours over how to cut our guest list by 45 because the caterer informed us he could only accomodate 180, I realized making cuts is harrrrrd. But then, we called to verify and were told no, that is only onsite - they can, in fact, accomodate 330 people. Whew!!! So all of those crossed off were re-added. So, here's my question. How many people are you inviting, and if you're already married, how many did you invite vs. how many came??? My # is, as it stands, 242 - I am anticipating around 20 additions by the time invites get ordered, and I am very comfortable with that!
