Destination Wedding Guest List

1/24/2023

Asking how many guests you'll have is always a tricky question because in reality, we don't know!! Everyone will tell you "Yes! I'm coming!" but until they confirm their room reservation with a deposit, you just can't count on it. Since you do need to know how many rooms you'll need for your room block, it is important to have a rough idea of how many guests will attend.  Start by making a master guest list and include everyone you would invite if you were having a wedding at home. Then, start breaking it down.  We've come up with a pretty easy way to sort your guest list into your A, B and C lists.

​Guests on your A list are those who you know will be there no matter what. These guests include parents, family, bridal party and your closest friends.
Guests on your B list are those who would love to travel with you, but just may not be able to for one reason or another.
Guests on your C list are those you feel obligated to invite, but you know there is a very small chance that they will travel for your wedding.
​Add together all of your A list + half of your B list to get a close estimate of the number of guests who will travel for your wedding. This is who you need to set rooms aside for.

For example:
A list has 42 guests (count all 42 guests)
B list has 88 guests (count half, so 44 guests)
C list has 25 guests (do not count)

The expected turn out here would be 42 + 44 = 86 guests. Assuming 2 guests per room, you'll need 43 rooms.

Don't stress over this! Just remember, you'll never know for sure until guests are all booked, and that's ok.
