The plan was to only have close friends and family. But it kinda blew up. My parents decided they really wanted to have their close group or friends come, then i had to invite my crazy second cousin who i hadn't seen in years, then friends of mark's mom because it would be weird having my parents friends but not marks, then some people had a little snit when they weren't invited and us feeling guilty invited them. UGH!
If i could do it all again i would have gone to cuba with our parents, sibblings, and extremely close friends who would make the trip. Nobody eles. I'd have a casual cocktail party after for everyone eles who didn't come.

I forget how many people that we invited but around 200 showed up. I would have preferred just Sean and I and POSSIBLY parents but I didn't get my way on this on.

We had a small wedding with only close family and friends and also all the members of our church that wanted to come. All together not counting wedding party we had around 40 guests. We loved it this way. To us it was more intimate. :)

We had a small list of people show up. It being my second I think alot of my family didnt see then need ( or atleast that was how I took it ) but that was ok with me. The ones we had there were the ones that mattered. Some left before the dances even started. And I am talking about mine and Nicholas' first dance. We had maybe 30 people if that show up. We sent alot of invites to family and friends o fNicholas' in EV knowing they would not be able to make it but we wanted them to know we thought about them ( or he did as I know none of them lol ) We had a blast with the ones who were there. It was perfect.

We are having a medium-sized wedding. There are 155 on the guest list. That is family, close friends and some not-as-close friends like co-workers.

I voted "Just myself, my FH, an officiant, and a witness" We had a very small ceremony in our home with just us, the minister, photographer and our parents. I am pretty happy with the ceremony we had. If we had a little more money we may have had something a little bigger but I still would have wanted to keep it small with just close family and friends.
I sort of wish we had a nicer reception with our close family there, but plans got out of hand and we ended up just with a party with our close friends.

We're having a large wedding. There is no doubt in my mind that at least 200 people will show up. We want all of our friends and families included and I have a HUGE family.

For us we had a large wedding of about 120 guests. We wanted less then 100 but it snow balled once we started doing the guest list.

We are inviting family and close friends. We were going to invite cousins but decided that it would be too many people there and we never see them anyhow.

Eric's family is huge and we have tons of friends from church,work etc. that want to share in the joy... looks like it'll be close to 200

We had about 100 people there, most of them being family and friends, so I guess that's pretty small compared to others.

Okay, I voted for what I'm having, not for what I really want. Truly, I wanted close friends and our families. Being of a different culture, my FH's family invites everyone they've ever met... including some people that Manish and I have never met. So, that means that I wanted a medium sized wedding... and I'm getting a big wedding. Ah well... at this point, the more the merrier! No stress here.
We both have fairly big family's so we will be having a big wedding.

Only my close family and friends were there. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Me and FH only wanted a small wedding. But after adding only family and close friends our list is well past 200. We both have good size families so much for our small wedding its getting bigger all the time.
