Had most guests come from out of town, but not too far- like a state or two over- and about 70% rsvpd yes. Of course a couple people didn’t show up day of but in general I think people say around 60-70% and I found that to be true of our guests.

We have our daughter's wedding on September 30. We sent out 250 invites to 236 said yes. Since then to have canceled due to illness. An additional person RSVPed. So as of now, five days before the wedding, we have 235 attending. The venue told us to expect no more than 80% but most of our guest are from the area. Out-of-state people are immediate family and are attending.

I’m just really happy that I found someone who is willing to take a vow to spend his life with me and I’m so excited for that day :)
