Wedding numbers, by guests and by type
Pick your guest count, how many months you have, or the kind of day you are having. The figures sit next to their sources, and each answer links the matching guide and tool.
Start with the number of people on your list, or the kind of wedding you are having. Cost, tables and drinks are worked out for that count. A timeline shows what is already late. RSVP wording is written for that kind of day.
Prices follow The Knot's 2026 vendor data. Table counts follow rental seating and the International Building Code. Drinks follow Caterboss and the NIAAA standard drink. Timelines use the same tasks as our checklist tool.
Longer answers live with the guides. Calculators that take your own numbers are the free tools.
