Formula for Determining How Many Guests
Are you wondering how many guests will really attend your wedding reception? Here is an easy formula to help you determine just that...give or take a few.
# of guests invited x .66 x 1.15 = Total approximate # of guests who will attend
Example: 300 guests invited x .66 x 1.15 = 228 guests attending
The .66 is your average RSVP rate. The 1.15 is your unexpected guest "buffer" (e.g. "I invited them but didn't really think they'd show up" guests) but also leaves room for an extra meal or two for that "just in case" situation.
Keep in mind, however, this most likely won't be exact, but it will give you an idea of approximately how many guests to expect.
