    75ish attended. It was in our current city so out if town for all our families but not destination. I considered that smaller. It was perfect size IMO bc it still felt like a big party but I actually had time to chat with everyone without feeling rushed!

    @Mrs tartan: that was our dream wedding! But too expensive from the us.

    Around 65 and we considered that to be small!

    Somewhere between 80 and 90. I would consider it medium sized.

    ~70, it really was the perfect size, everyone commented on how intimate it felt!

    We invited well over 200 but 155 came. I have a lot of family OOT who couldn't make it. I think it was a nice, medium wedding.

    600. Very typical of an Arab (on both sides) wedding.

    We had a "destination" wedding about 3 hours away. We invited 100 and about 80 came. Smallish but it was perfect.

    100- medium. My relatives consider it small, since most of them have about 300.

    I think we around 130. Pretty average, I guess.

  11. mrsjyw

    GOLD / wonderful apricot / 22646 posts

    200ish. Average in our circle.

    @cupquakewalk: Wowsers! Were most of those 600 guests local or did they travel from different regions?

    @mrs.tartan: What a romantic and picturesque location for a wedding!

    100. And we had a destination wedding!
    Had we married in one of our hometowns, it would have been 300+, which I just couldn't afford.

    125. It was a destination wedding for all but six guests. Pretty big for a DW but average in general.

  15. woodentulip

    persimmon / 1379 posts

    We had 120, destination for all but about 10. It was the perfect size for us!

  16. cmomma17

    12 guests. Very small!

  17. babycanuck

    pomegranate / 3105 posts

    Invited 260 and had 199 come. More than I wanted, pretty average for our circle/families. If the ILs had their way it would have been 500 people.

  18. Adira

    wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts

    35. Small local wedding (we had it at our house).

  19. FliegepilzHut

    pomegranate / 3533 posts

    45, I think. Small...and lovely.

  20. chopsuey

    hostess / wonderful honeydew / 32460 posts

    200ish.

  21. kml636

    pomegranate / 3225 posts

    10... we had it in hana, maui,

  22. CupQuakeWalk

    coconut / 8475 posts

    @Katrocap: about 75/25%, the majority being local:)

  23. skibobrown

    pomegranate / 3388 posts

    Ours was 100 guests. I think it was a small/medium wedding.

  24. bpcmarj

    pomegranate / 3729 posts

    We invited about 65 and had about 60 I think. It was small for us, and very pared down when we moved it up a year after finding out we were pregnant

  25. Ocean girl

    kiwi / 637 posts

    We invited about 185 and I think around 135 came... I really can't remember, it's all a blur now!

  26. Trailmix

    nectarine / 2152 posts

    Our official head count came in at 182. I think considered large?

  27. 78h2o

    grapefruit / 4441 posts

    I think we have 90-95? I'd consider it small-medium...on the high end if small and the low end of medium. I guess I feel like <80 is small, 81-150 is medium, 151-250 is large and 251+ is very large.

    @CupQuakeWalk: sounds like a typical traditional Asian wedding! We had 470, guest list was about 600.

  29. coopsmama

    cantaloupe / 6059 posts

    350. I would consider that pretty large.

  30. mrschickpea

    clementine / 928 posts

    90

  31. gingerbebe

    cantaloupe / 6131 posts

    We had 60 guests. I consider it a small wedding considering the typical Korean wedding among my parents' circle has 500+ guests. My cousin had like 800!

  32. lemondrop

    bananas / 9118 posts

    Around 100, which we consider medium. It was a destination for most people, we had it where we live during Spring Training.

  33. krispi

    clementine / 911 posts

    We had around 60, which was as small as we could get without eloping. I have a big family, which made up a large majority of our guest list.

    @Katrocap: We got married in Pebble Beach at the same spot he proposed. We didn't invite any friends or extended family, only immediate family. The idea was we were going to have a full garden reception a few months later but that never happened and no one seemed to care!

  35. sapphire

    nectarine / 2173 posts

    We had 100, seemed average to me.

  36. DigAPony

    pear / 1787 posts

    We had less than 50 (45 I think? Can't remember) so a small wedding. It was perfect.

  37. erinpye

    pomegranate / 3706 posts

    We really wanted a small wedding of about 40, but my family alone is more people than that. We invited 200 (many who live out of the country), and around 140 attended.

  38. Boogs

    hostess / papaya / 10540 posts

    I think around 175. It's about average in our circle.

  39. Glitter

    persimmon / 1281 posts

    550. DH has a massive family!

  40. Anagram

    eggplant / 11716 posts

    115-120 attended I think. Hard to remember accurately since there were a handful of people that could maken it to one of our ceremonies/reception bit not the other.

    I think we invited about 150 but knew several wouldn't come (far flung countries). I thought 100 would be the perfect size and I guess I consider it a smaller-medium wedding.
