The number of wedding invitations to send is a common question for couples. Traditionally, brides and grooms issue approximately 100 invitations.
But is this number necessary?
This article provides practical guidance on determining the optimal number of wedding invitations.
There’s no definitive answer to “How many invitations?”
The number depends on personal preferences, guest list size, and budget.
A study by the Destination Wedding & Honeymoon Association (DWH) shows most couples send between 75 and 120 invitations. However, there are examples of weddings with fewer or more guests.
For instance, Mr. and Mrs. Schmidt invited only their closest family and friends – around 35 people. Their intimate wedding was a priority for them.
Conversely, the Jones couple sent over 200 invitations to host a large celebration with all friends and relatives.
To optimally determine the number of invitations, consider these questions: What type of wedding do you want?
How many people can you accommodate in your budget?
And who is on your guest list?
Ultimately, the number of invitations depends on personal preferences and needs. Live your dream wedding while considering your budget and cherished relationships!
