I am currently planning my wedding and one of the biggest issues, that I am still dealing with at the moment, is the guest list. So I am a bit curious to hear about how many people those MyLotters who are already married invited to their wedding? Did everyone you invited come? And what do you think is the best amount of guests for a wedding? Is there anything you would have done differently if you got married today?

congratulations and best wishes puccagirl. i think family and close friends and relatives will do. personally i don't want a big wedding. i just wanted it to be simple and just feel that day. you may consider a garden wedding than a traditional one if you want to. :)

i only have a small wedding at my church and i invited about 100 guests... i think during the day itself only about 70 of them turn out... but i am very happy already because i don't want to have a big and extravagant wedding anyway... i prefer to have a small and simple wedding... congratulations for your upcoming wedding and good luck with the preparations... take care and have a nice day...

Thank you lingli! I agree with you that having a very extravagant wedding is not for everyone, I don't think I want one either, since it would probably just make me nervous and stuff.

They say about half the amount of people you invite will show up. For my wedding it was about 75% of the people showed up. What was really nasty was my finacees aunt was supposed to come to the wedding. My father had to pay for the food and he and my father worked together. They got in a fight and she told a friend of mine that she was going to not come to the wedding after saying she would and he would get stuck paying for their plates. My father wound up having to pay $100 for their plates of food when they didnt show up. People are terrible. I think that was rotten.

I agree with you, those are the worst guests, who say they will come, and then choose not to. I really do not get that at all. So you are completely right!

Congrats puccagirl on your upcoming event..:) My wedding was very small, just immediate family and a couple friends. The one thing I would have done differently was to ask someone about how to plan a wedding. I tried asking my older sister as I wanted her to play the music, but she didn't seem to want to help me, so only the middle sister stood up with me and as I was very naive at the time, I accidentally offended the older one..:( So I say by starting this post, you are on the right track...

In planning a wedding you should also considered the list of your visitors. I consider myself as newly wed because our wedding happened last February 2010 and after a month I left already my wife and now working here abroad. We limit our visitors to 150 heads only and all of them have a passes for the reception. It is important that your list includes all your close friends and relatives. No need to invite people who are far away from your heart. Be practical and think the expenses you will spend on your wedding. Don't waste alot of money during your wedding instead used your money to start your new life I mean as a couple life.

As me, we should invite our close friends and relatives. If you invite too crowed people but they won't go to the party, it will be horrible. I don't like invite too much people and finally, I don't know all of them :)
