guest list

Name: Susan
Question:

The bride's guest list numbers 250 with a lot of whittling. The grooms list is 300 and his family doesn't want to whittle. These numbers are the full count(not just invitations) The wedding will take place about 45 minutes away the couple's home towns and the reception will take place just down the street from the wedding. How many should we plan for at the reception? It is June 28 so it is close to the July 4 holiday.


Wow, shutter at the amount. I am a little confused why the Grooms family isnt really willing to whittle and the Bride's is? Although it is right by July..4th expect a big turn out because people love summer weddings. If you invite 500 expect about 468... I hope this helps, sincerely, Brandi
