Our venue is booked for 120 ppl, but they said they can accomodate a few extra if that happens. We're having trouble narrowing our guest list down since FI grew up in the area, but we have a lot of military/OOT guests that we want to invite. Right now, we're at 146 but would like to add a few more to that list. Since our wedding isn't until June, we don't know if certain people wouldn't be able to make it due to something like deployment and other similar obligations
My question is: how many more did you invite in order to meet or come close to your head count for your venue?
I've heard that you can expect about 15% not coming, but does that number increase if you have more OOT guests? Any help is appreciated!
