    hi girls,

    i just wondered how many people you have coming to your wedding? we are having 40 people for the day and probably 60 in the evening. just seems like a small amount.. its mostly family and just a few friends. but none of h2b family wants to come so its just my side - who he feels closer to anyways but it just seems like its not gonna be very nice for him if its all my family and my close friends. he only has a couple bless him.
    what do you all think?

    we have about 50 coming to the ceremony and probably about only 5/10 coming to the club as most coming to the ceremony are to old to come to the club and we only want our close friends to come with us but its an open club so will be loads of people there and the whole evening is dedicated to our wedding :)

    Hi Pinkie,

    Well you've made me feel sooo much better I think that that's about the same amount that we're expecting if not slightly less and yes like you my h2b will be having no family there as he's having a tough time with them. So the top tables gonna be a bit lopsided!! lol

    amy - do you feel a bit bad for your h2b? cos i know he doesnt mind, and to be honest the way they treat him i am sort of glad that they are not coming, but im not happy that it was them that chose they didnt want to come. i know he feels more a part of my family anyway and always has cos we're all really close and he says he is happy having it the way it is. am just worried he will feel differently as the day comes closer xxx

    EDITED as coursing offense!!!!!!!! mods

    Our wedding is small because thats how we want it - we get the bonus of spending less due to numbers but niether of us wanted people we only see at Weddings/Funerals etc. So, we agreed easily on whom we really want to celebrate our day.

    It is going to be perfect.

    Stop worrying and comparing your wedding plans with others...

    its not the fact its not many people thats bothering me i dont think, i think its more that none of his family will be there, and that makes me sad for them. but its their loss and they never did bother with him anyways so i guess he is better off without them!!! xxx

    We both have massive families the 106 in the day 20 of those are children! Then at night its a lot from work and all our friends. My H2B is a wrestlers so a lot of wrestlers and partners are coming aswell!! I think it will probably end up being more like 180 that actually arrive its only costing us 3000k though for the whole day so we're inviting as many as we can as we can afford to do it xxxx

    Pinkie - just a wee secret .. I will have my Dad at the wedding and he is the only member of my family invited (there is also a chance he may not turn up too!). Your H2B needs to be reassured your guests are there for you both..and if you have invited good friends etc he will spend minimal time assessing the lack of his family there!

    There loss not his...

    We're having 95 in the day (all immediate family, or very close friends.. I come from a very fertile family.. haha, so hope no more sprogs are born before then! lol) and then an extra 60/70 in the evening.. but that could change in 4 years... gosh.. no wonder it's clocking up to soooo much money!!
    yes i'm very organized, the bride guide thingy told me to book a great venue you're best off booking years in advance.. so we are going to... as soon as we pick between our 3 favourates... :) x

    Well with us its around 80 -100 but not totally finalised the list yet. On my side its mainly family with a few very close friends (I've been ruthless) and for Pete it's friends all the way with minimal family. The only thing that mattered to us was having our "people" there - we've worked the venue and budget around our list and have included a couple of people to keep our wanted list happy too (such as their plus ones)

    200 for the whole thing.

    And no one will be there who we dont want there - each and every one of them is VERY important to us both.

    I happen to have a large family, and we each have a MASSIVE circle of friends - not just "acquaintances". We're bikers.... i think that says it all.

    Dont worry about how many people are coming to your wedding - it doesnt matter if its 20 or 200 honey x

    were having 160 in the day and around 260 to the evening and trust me, they are very cut down guest lists. If we had the money it could easily have been up to 350 - 400. That is still with some family cut out and having close friends who have been around all my life. Our list has caused many arguments due to the fact that we have had to miss some key people out of the day bit and they got offended, but we simply cannot afford to invite anymore! They understand now. In the day but there will be only family and no one distant, we only have brothers, sisters, grand parents, uncle and aunties! we have big families!

    About 100 in the day and about 130 in the evening. I wish we could have had more because it's difficult not inviting people you would want but venue size and money has restricted us!

    I think big weddings and small weddings each have their own charm and plus points, so all good!!

    The Cathedral we are having the wedding in holds 900 guests lol I'm having 80 invited guests although people that aren't actually invited to the whole day who may only have an evening invite can come see us get married. I'm sure a lot of my friends are coming to see me get married even although they won't attend the wedding breakfast!!! xx
