How guest numbers change everything

Guest numbers change almost everything about your wedding. Here is why it pays to pick a number early.

Food, drinks and space

Every guest adds food and drinks, a chair, a place setting and an invitation. And the total decides which venues can even fit you.

Number first, venue second

So pick a target number before you visit venues. It is much easier to fall in love with a venue that fits your people than to cut guests to fit a venue.
