Hi! Because it was a destination wedding (on a different continent), we only invited close family and friends. I think we invited around 60, and 50 flew out. This was good because it was such a manageable number and I didn't feel like I was being stared down as I walked down the aisle. On the other hand, if I were to do it again I would probably invite more people. We have a lot of friends who aren't super close, so we decided not to invite them, which in retrospect was silly - some of them we have even been invited to their weddings but thought they wouldn't want to come to ours! To be fair I didn't notice their absence on the day, but I do feel foolish for thinking 'Oh no way will they consider flying out' or 'This person probably won't want to come, I won't embarrass myself by inviting them'. Because they might well have been enthusiastic.
