Hello lovely couples!
Planning a destination wedding and wondering how many guests will actually make the trip?
Wedding planners, who watch hundreds of couples go through this exact question, work on 60-70% of invited guests saying yes. Treat that as indicative rather than final. Fewer guests travel for a wedding abroad than would turn up to one at home, and that gap changes your budget, your venue size and your planning timeline.
We learned this firsthand planning our own 96-guest wedding in Crete. This calculator starts from what experienced destination planners report about turnout, then adjusts for your answers to eleven questions.
Answer 10 quick questions and get a realistic attendance estimate based on travel distance, guest demographics, and your specific situation.
