How many people should I REALLY invite to my wedding?

You can figure that at least 10% of the guests you invite won’t show – we invited 150 people to our wedding and about 15 couldn’t come that day, which worked out just fine!!

I would suggest wait till the RSVP’s come back. But only a small percentage does not show up to a wedding. You must figure you have family from both your sides, friends etc. Once the RSVP’s come back then you have an exact count of who is coming and then for the ones that said they are unable to attend then remove the chairs and no big deal.

We invited 110 people. 83 showed up. Not bad. I don’t agree with Freddie…he said to plan around everyone else’s schedules if you want 100 percent attendance. That’s baloney. Your wedding, you pick the date. Either they can come or they can’t.

You should count on 100% of invited guests attending, regardless if they send back the response card or not. Sit down, decide what your budget can do and invite that number of guests. Some people may come to the wedding and not the reception, and vice versa.

You can acheive 100% attendance if you plan your wedding around everyone else’s schedule. But tell me – do you really want to do that? There will always be someone who may have to miss the wedding at the last minute because of some sort of emergency. But good luck!
