    Hey, just a quick question from a panicing newbie ...

    If you're planning a wedding in Italy for example, and are going to invite 80 or 90 people, there are propably a large proportion who are not going to go for finance/timing/work reasons. How do you estimate the numbers for the venue?
    It's quite likely only 50 ish guests will make it, and the difference between venues for 50 and for 90 are going to be massive!

    How do you get around this? When you send around 'save the date' cards, do you get RSVPs?

    Thanks!

    Hi Glowing,

    I'm in the same boat as you so can't really help you - I'm in the early stages of planning a wedding abroad, and want to invite all the aunts, uncles and cousins (so as not to offend anyone) ... this would bring the total of guests to about 80. While I'd obviously love if everyone who I invite could attend, I think we should realistically expect about half that ... and the difference between 80 guests and 40 guests would probably affect our choice of venue (we've nothing booked yet.)

    So, apologies again about not being of any help to you, but I'm looking forward to seeing other people's replies in relation to this :)

    Hi guys. Before we got engaged my boyfriend and I talked about having our wedding abroad so we mentioned it to our friends who all said they loved the idea. When we got engaged first we estimated that 60+ would probably come with us. Then when we met up with family and friends we wound mention it. Since then almost half the people have came back to us and said they wont be able to make it.

    What we have decided to do is send out our invites this month for the Las Vegas wedding. Probably about 50 of them and will be asking people to rsvp by April. We are not getting married until April 2010. This way people have a few months to make a final decision and we can book everything a year in advance.

    Hope this helps

    Oh yeah- I forgot to say we are not sending out actual RSVPs we are asking people to email me or text!
