How big is your planned reception?

Mine *hopefully* will not exceed 125 ppl.

Sorry if this has been asked before....

    The Goal is 115 people attending. Everytime I read about a celebrity having an "Intimate" wedding, It makes me smile and REALLY want that.
    BUT... I am the demon of my own list.  HE could invite 30 people and be happy.  I am the one with all the people that I really want to be there or at least know that we Wanted them to be there. Undecided

    I'm sitting at 250 and I'm not going over unless someone is coming off some cash.....although if I were rich that list would probably be 400. We have big families and close friends. He will invite more family and I will invite more close friends and a little family. We just have a lot of people who are ready for this day to finally happen and they all want to be a part of it.

    I am right there with you, the guest list is currently sitting at 333, I hope to cut that down and have between 250-275 actually attend.

    Invited 256 - some of that number are OOT relatives we know aren't showing (about 50) so we expect about 150.  Building holds max of 220 so we should be OK.
