guest list

how many people did you invite vs how many people came?



did yoiur gl have a lot of out of town ?




ugh im freakinggg

BREATHE...:)


My guest list was 181, 140 rsvped yes with 5 people canceling the day before, so I had 135 in total. I had maybe 10 people out of town come, and they all stayed with relatives so I never had to make hotel blocks or anything. I did ask them however if they wanted one and they said No they will make there own arrangements.

Invited 215
Attended 170

From polls in the past, 20% no's appear to be the AVERAGE. Some people have more, some people have less, but if you're doing guestimates, I'd say use 20% not coming as a rule of thumb.

Also, DH and I went through our guest list before we started getting RSVP's and said who we thought would be yes or no. Some of our friends thata we invited with a guest came alone, so that could make a difference too.

We invited 185 - we got 125... (Thank goodness!)

We only had 2 cancellations last minute .. one couple and one where the wife was ill, but the husband still came!

are you worried you'll be way over or under?

we invited 138 total people (everyone got a plus 1)

we only had 8 no's but many who decided not to bring a date so our final count was 105. had 3 VERY last minute cancellations which brought us to 102. our minimum was 100 so I was very happy with how it worked out.

we had a very low no rate so it was amazing that people ended up deciding to come stag

I invited about 310. I ended up with 151, but then in the last week and with no shows I think I had 142.

We did have a lot of OOT, but we had a ot of unexpected No's as well. Our minimum was 170, so we paid for a lot of empty seats
