How many people will actually come to my event? That’s a great question. Typically 70%-85% will show up to parties like graduations, anniversaries, and other milestone events. However it heavily also depends on your guest list, time of year, etc. It is always important to ask for an RSVP on your invitation for your open house/party to ensure you have enough seating, as well as food and drink.
There is so much more to think about including food, games, other entertainment, parking, and clean up. While it may seem overwhelming at times, planning a party is rewarding and definitely worth it.
