    I'm a little confused! We have found a lovely little hotel that can only cater up to 50 guests for the meal. Does this mean that there can be the bride and groom, then 50 guests? Or the bride and groom and 48 guests to make it up to 50??

    If it's the total of people allowed in the room then I'm guessing that means the bride and groom too. I will ring and find out though. Thanks for the help! xx

    I have forgotten to include us in our maximum - hoping to just plead ignorance and rely on the kindness of their hearts! x

    Usually the max numbers INCLUDE the bridal party, so thats bride, groom, bm's, pb's, fg's, best man etc.
    BUT if in doubt phone them up and ask babe :-0

    Usually the maximum number of guests stated by a venue is given in order to comply with health, safety and fire regulations, and also their insurance. I remembered to include me and the groom in the daytime numbers (even tho MIL laughed at my list) but havent counted us in the night do numbers! Doh.

    I put us both on the guest list so I remember.

    Although Pidge pointed out that 'Marie Harris' wouldn't be attending the wedding breakfast or evening party...

    I out our names on the guest list, I just included us in the bridal party. I would assume that the max numbers includes you but no harm in asking xxx
