Woo-hoo!Too happy to not post about it!Perfect size too! We wanted to be under 100, yet with huge families (all OOT), we invited 174. Final count is 89 Adults, 6 Children, 3 Babies, and 4 Vendors (evil vendor meals). 98 not counting vendors, 102 with. Perfection.

    Holy crap are our weddings similar!  We invited just about the same number and ended up with 101 people.  We originally told our venue 100, and she said no one ever ends up sticking to their first number.  We have 83 adults and 18 children, but that spans babies up to teenagers.Feels great, doesn't it!

    Yes, it does! I am excited it's done. Guest list was, by far, the most painful part.

    Awesome! What a relief to have that info, huh? That is a great number. I wish we could have had those kinds of numbers- we invited around the same number, and only 84 showed up!

    Jenn, we hunted down about 25 people. Not bad at all. All of them ended up being NOs except 3.

    I'm definitely hoping that any people I have to track down will be NOs.  We haven't received nearly as many as what I'd like to.  I'm just hoping all the NOs are either too scared to send them in / not planning on sending one in.  We're almost at 100 YES' now.

    GREAT check! That was such a relief for us too! Kim, I bet if you had another 20 people there, you wouldn't have even known the difference! :-)

    Yea, probably not. Actually, I would have ideally liked around 120-130. I was happy that I got to talk with guests more, but the dance floor looks REALLY empty in some pics. A lot of the guests that did come left early or did not dance much. Sorry that went off topic!

    That's awesome!  Is it weird that I'm really excited for you to have your wedding?  I remember how fun it was to have people come from OOT just to see us and I know you have a lot of people traveling so I can feel your anticipation.  :)
