I believe around 700 guests attended the wedding! :) :)
It means that not as many guests will be able to attend the wedding.
About 90 - 95% of guests show if they have answered their RSVP's to the wedding to say they are coming. 5% may not show because of weather conditions or illness or other problems that interfere with keeping their promise to come to the wedding.
When planning a wedding, invitations are a two step process. Save-the-date cards should be mailed out four months in advance to let guests know about your engagement. The invitations should be sent out two months later leaving guests about 6-8 weeks to RSVP. When preparing for your wedding, the general rule is that save the date cards should be mailed out four months in advance. Wedding invitations should be sent out no earlier than two months before the wedding.
If you are planning your wedding, congratulations. Although it can be extremely stressful trying to plan a wedding, on the day of your wedding you will love the results of all your effort. Wedding planning can be even more stressful if you are on a budget. You will need to do a lot of the wedding set-up work yourself. Here are some tips to help make setting up the banquet tables at your wedding a little easier.Think About The BasicsFirst, make a list of all the tables you will need. Make a rough estimate of how many attendees your wedding will have. Ask the venue or the rental company how many people can sit at each table. In addition to tables for your guests, you will also need a table for gifts, and a table for the cake. Some bridal couples like to have a separate kids’ table with coloring books. You will also need a long banquet table for the bridal party.Make A Seating ChartOnce you get all your RSVPs back, you can get a definite count of the number of guests attending. Then, you can get started on your seating chart. When you make your seating chart, make a sketch of the layout of the tables. This will help you with the set-up later. Once you make your seating chart, you can see if you have enough tables. If you are renting tables and many of your guests cannot attend your wedding, see if the rental company will allow you to downsize your order. Do not get too stressed while you are making the seating chart. After dinner, guests will mingle as they like.Decide About Place Settings And TableclothsIf you want china and tablecloths, rent an appropriate amount from a party rental store. You can also decide if you want silverware at this time. Tablecloths can make your event seem much more formal even if you are on a small budget.Set-Up And CenterpiecesArrange the banquet tables how you want them. Make sure that there is enough room to walk between the tables. Finally, place your centerpieces in the middle of the table. Your set-up is complete.
For a wedding of 100 people, there should be at least 10 tables, assuming each table can seat 10 people. Usually, assume the each table can only be used around 7-8 people to avoid running out of seats.
Your wedding invitations should go out two to three months in advance. This gives your guests time to work around your wedding as some may plan holidays; need to get off work or come from out of town. Your wedding invitations have RSVP on them and an small card inserted inside the wedding card with self addressed envelope and stamp in inserted so your guests can let you know if they are coming and bringing their mate. If some guests have not responded five weeks before the wedding then you will have to phone them to confirm so you can give the caterer time to know how many guests he will have to make food for.
2500 people went to the wedding
It is important to thank your guests for coming to the wedding because it is such a happy event for them as well and some guests put off holidays or travel many miles to get to the wedding and other guests who live closer just wanted to share your happiness and wish you both the best in the future and also, thanking them for the wedding gift.

Many brides and grooms have wedding favors for their guests to thank them for attending. In addition, they are a souvenir of the event. Typical favors include Jordan almonds in pretty bags, matchbooks with an inscription, or even plastic wedding rings.
