Default Number of DW guests?

We are having our DW in Jamaica with 45 people booked so far, we invited about 200. Just wondering how many people others invited and what kind of turn out they got? As well as any advice for a group this size. We have people staying 3 other resorts besides ours

We sent out 75 invites I believe, and have 18 guests booked. We anticipate having around 30 as we have some guests in the process of booking. I don't think we'll have more than that, but are still waiting for about 45 RSVPs.

We sent out 100 invites but expect around 50-60 guests to actually RSVP.
If it's less, more for everyone else! Ha!
But seriously though, our resort has a minimum cost so if we do have less we will just upgrade on EVERYTHING & it'll work out!

We invited about 180 people and have 31 people booked. All of our guests but one put deposits down within the first month of finding out about the DW.

Default Re: Number of DW guests?

we sent out about a total of 300 invites between two countries (yes, if you could see me, i'm rolling my eyes right now, and i totally freaked that my MIL invited so many people) but we are only having about 100 show up. my wedding is in 2 weeks and most of our guests are staying at our hotel, and a few are staying in the timeshares next door as well as 2 other hotels.
