    Thanks so far!

    Bluefire - yep I was hoping to do this on other sites too!

    I am planning a longer survey about who made their own invites, who had them made etc. but I have no idea if I can post a link to it here!

    We originally intended around 30 but it's crept up. We also had some friends possibly coming for the ceremony but not the wedding breakfast, then we thought about stretching to include everyone to the whole day/meal. But we've found out that while we can have 45 to the ceremony we can only sit 36 for the meal so think we're back to the original plan!

    we have invited 65 to the day 50 adults and 15 kids but only sent out 25 invites for day and then i expect we will need another 20 for evening invites. however i have had another 20 day invites made to be sent out if we have anyone from the first lot of invites saying they can't come.

    40 in the day (but 2 are babies) and a further 60+ to the evening.

    I didn't make our invites and nobdy made them for us either, well unless you count a factory.

    We did have them all done at Vistaprint, but then we changed the ceremony and time of the ceremony so they all had to go in the bin!

    We ended up with packs of invites from Clintons.

    We're having 120 people for the day and about 20 extra in the evening. My family alone come to over 60!

    I dont think I know 200 people either Sammy, well not ones I'd want to come to my Wedding!!

    Having about 330, yes it's a lot to some but not to me, quite usual in Asian weddings.
