Re: Destination Wedding Invitation Acceptance Percentage
When we were sending out our invitations we had two lists, one of people who we KNEW would come and one that was just like an announcement list. Well the interesting thing is there have been some people who we knew would come but it turns out they cant (b/c pregnancies, job stuff, financial, etc) and some people who knew wouldn't come but it turns out they are coming! It helped us to have two mailings, as some people sent in No's or called to tell us no we were able to mail out additional invitations (obviously you cant do this to people in the same social circle). If my fiance's relatives turned in a no then I would then send an invitation to one of my cousins. There is no set formula for destination weddings so we had to wing it...I hope this helps...
So far 68 RSVP's and 56 people are booked to stay at the resort!

I'm getting married in PV too! My wedding is in October and we're already at 50%... so we invited 80 people and 40 people have booked so far.

Re: Destination Wedding Invitation Acceptance Percentage
We had a little over 50% say yes. I am sure that whoever shows up are the people that were meant to be there. Good luck

Re: Destination Wedding Invitation Acceptance Percentage
I agree it depends on your group, where everyone is coming from & the destination. We have a little more than 50% coming.
Good luck!
