So I noticed someone looking to see what the ratio's were for guests attending a DW and the number of invites sent, when I realized that Results of my poll hadn't been posted...

 

Without further ado... this is pretty neat!!!

 

The average cost to guests attending a DW is

$1765

The median cost is very close as well

$1700

 

The average number of invites sent to invite guests to a DW is

73 Invitations

 

The average DW has

34 guests in attendance

 

The median for attendance is slightly lower

29 guests in attendance

 

I think think this is really cool - regarding the number of guests attending versus the number of invites sent....

55% of people invited to a DW actually GO!

 

WOWZERS!

 

Thanks for participating!

I read everyone's comments and am curious about the cost of a DW and it's correlation with the number of guests that attend - I ask this because as brides we worry that we are asking too much of our friends and family to spend for a DW - but I wonder if it matters. I am curious to know the following (fill in the blanks): _________ $ for 7 nights occupancy (double) - cheapest room option possible at your resort (inc airfare and taxes) _________ # of invites sent _________ # of guests attending _________ Resort Name _________ # of stars of resort

Interesting. I love to read stats and do research, I just can't do the math!

I'm embarassed to ask this, but...I know the first stat (price for 7 nights, incl air and tax) is based on double occupancy, but are all you posting prices PER PERSON, rather than per COUPLE? I've noticed a couple of you made that clear, but most don't specify. Thanks!
