I am having 100 to the day and a further 100 in the night. We both have massive families and 75 of the day guests are immediate family. It gets complex with step-families and OH having 8 aunts and uncles. Still we have had to say no to +1s which is not very popular!

We invited:

Ceremony

Us x 2
Parents x 4
Siblings x 3
Siblings partners x 2
Nephew x 1
Grandparents x 2
Aunts & Uncles x 29
Cousins x 15
Friends x 10

Total = 68 (although only 66 turned up on the day)

In the evening an additional 44 came along, although we had a lot of people say they were coming and then just not turn up. Which wouldn't have been a problem had we not catered for them! We catered for 70% of the total number of invited evening guests, so 100 people. We could have saved £250 if people had just been honest and said they can't make it.
