Hello everyone! Is there such a thing as an average wedding size? How many people are you having at your ceremony/meal? Are you having many more at the evening reception? xx

    I think we're having an average size wedding which is 90 people during the day going up to about 150 people at night. So as MrsHtobe said really. Our day numbers are limited to venue capacity but we chose the venue partly based on them being about to hold the number we wanted. The evening do has no limit because we are having it in a marquee and we can just add modules if we want it bigger.

    We have invited just over a hundred, so expect we'll have just less than 100. All day or nothing with us - no evening only people!

    Ours is tiny. There will be 16 of us including OH and me, at the ceremony and wedding breakfast. For the evening reception there is around 130 people on the list at the moment but it keeps growing.

    We are having about 60 to the day and possibly 90 to the evening. Anyone can come to the church bit.

    This is nearly the same for us; we have 64 all day and all together with the evening guests it will be 130 (if everyone turns up that said they will).

    We don't have really big families and I don't think I would like a really big wedding, or should I say ceremony, for the evening its ok as it would be a lively atmosphere.

    We have all the people coming that we want to share our day with.

    We're inviting 75 to the ceremony and the day reception and then the evening will be plus three or four people. So if everyone comes, which we don't think they will as some live abroad, then it will be roughly 75-78 people. Which is apparently a 'small' wedding. I think its quite a big wedding personally!

    We're inviting 60 to the day and another 30 on top for the evening reception, I thought we'd only have about 50 all in!

    Ooh we just about 'win' in the small wedding stakes apart from luckylola!

    25 in total for the wedding which includes the 2 of us (which is cheating) and a 2 year old. No after party though so it really is just 23.
