How many guests are you having?

Arpee, 20 January, 2015 at 12:09 Posted on Planning 0 43

Just wondering how many guests you're all having - are you inviting more in the evening or are all your guests all-day guests?

We haven't finalised our guest list yet, but we're keeping it relatively small, with somewhere between 30 and 45 people, all day.

    HI.

    Forty for the day and 80-90 at night.

    We made a rule for the day, we would only invite people that both of us had met - so no long lost relevatives or distant friends. If they want to join us for the vening they can...

    29 plus us for our wedding day, then for our after wedding party 10 days later it's around 140 with around 100 expected but the venue only holds 80 oops. Buy I know some people won't turn up on the day so it'll be fine.....

    I think it's just over 100 which includes several children. We weren't going to have evening guests but we probably are now so it will be another 20 for the evening I think. Not sure how many won't be able to come. I've just found out the rugby World Cup final is the day of our wedding so I hope I'm not inviting rugby fans!

    We're having 60 during the day and another 20 in the evening. We had to be pretty ruthless with the guestlist and will stick to our guns because we both love our venue.

    64 to day time and probably same again for night.

    Although at first we struggled to include everyone for the day who we wanted for save the date cards... as time has gone on, we have realised who and what is imprortant so this may go down.

    70 day guests including ourselves and the wedding party, up to 120 in the evening. That's the plan at least. We always get distracted when we try to do our guestlist...

    We have 60 for the day (including me and H2b) and then a 150 at night!

    We both have big families so had to cater for them ?

    We're not getting married until 3.30pm so all our guests are invited to the whole thing. By being ruthless we got our initial guest list down to about 140. It has started to creep up from that as we are back in touch with family members we'd lost touch with - lots of funerals last year so lots of family gatherings. Realistically not everyone will attend so I'm anticipating a final number of around 125.

    35-40 for the whole day, that includes several babies, I don't want it to turn into a loud drunken night as our 6 month old will be with us and I don't want to leave my wedding early with him! Wev been ruthless, havnt invited anyone out of obligation or politeness that we don't genuinely want to be there. Needless to say wev been the topic of abit of gossip for that fact!

    OMG! I am a massive rugby fan and deliberately ignored the whole of September and October for the wedding. If I were invited to your wedding you'd probably find me in the toilet at some point trying to watch the final on weblink of some description! ?

    We are having around 70 people to the day and about 120 in the evening. Our venue holds around 200 people so there should be plenty of room for everyone to have a good old dance!

    Our current list sits at 108 for the day and an extra 50-ish for the evening. It changes every now and then - mostly as people get serious partners/break up/have babies! - but we have always said around the 100 mark with 50 extra (mostly work colleagues) in the evening.

    I'm really keen to see how those numbers differ to final numbers of who comes.

    We wanted a small wedding, but ended up inviting over 80. In the end we had just over 60.

    This is what worries me, but the game is over our wedding breakfast so if anyone wants to be in the toilet rather than eating I'll let them Smiley winking

    We are going for a late start too, ceremony starts at 3.30pm. Our ceremony room can fit 114 people (and I think we will use every seat), then for the meal there'll be 120-140 people. It is a shame we can't have anyone at the ceremony but there may be some people (guys especially) who will be glad to miss the legal part.

    About 85ish day, and approx 150-160 evening, although we expect a fair few of the evening invitees to decline as the majority of them are from Yorkshire and we're getting married Nottingham, so not too local for them for 'a night out'. Hey ho, I'm confident that the ones who we mean the most to will make the effort :-)

    29 for ceremony and meal. Room only holds 30.

    we have a bigger eve room so probably an additional 40-60. It's a free for all in the evening as the buffet us cheap so all cousins, work colleagues etc can come, but the day is immediate family only.

    That's not so bad - perhaps be prepared for random cheers/outbursts from one or two tables! I will now be thinking of you during my Rugby World Cup Final Party!
