How to estimate your wedding guest count

  1. Group your guests

    Split the people you invite into groups, such as family, friends and colleagues.

  2. Add your yes rates

    For each group, enter how many are invited and the share you expect to say yes.

  3. Plan with the estimate

    Use the expected count for early quotes, then switch to real replies as they arrive.
