i think ~180 were invited by us. others were invited verbally by my ILs and traveled here for the wedding, we didn't find out until a wk before the wedding you'd think we'd limited their guests when sending out invites, nope, they just didn't keep track of who they asked to invite and kept inviting people without telling us. i think we had ~175, give or take. i'd say that's a medium sized wedding, i think 150 is average, so i'd call more than 200 large.

We had 135 RSVP yes and everyone showed up. Our original list had 225 people on it but we knew that with most of my husband's family on the east coast, a good majority wouldn't be coming. I was stunned we had as many as we did.

We had 75, which is considered small in my family. (I would have preferred more intimate, though!)
My family is massive, so I always think of large weddings as 300+

Invited about 200 and about 185 showed up and about 8 didn't show up but RSVP'd (4 were out sick and I'm not sure what happened to the others) . I guess that's not bad all things considered but we were out a couple of thousand b/c of that. Kind of sucked... but amazing how many ppl wanted to come to our wedding.

95. I consider that about medium sized. No way I could have had a huge wedding considering where we live. Also most of my family lives in other countries, and I'm not close with my Dad's side, so that significantly lowered the headcount.

We had a giant wedding... I don't even know how many was invited, probably 500, and over 450 came to the ceremony and 425 to the reception.

We had just under 70. It was a destination wedding for the vast majority of our guests, so I was impressed that so many people came!

we had a destination wedding in Dominican and had 80. It's small for an at-home wedding but I think big for a destination wedding!

We had 150 and while I personally feel that's large, I know it's fairly medium sized. So, I'd say it was average sized.
