Cut 10 guests and you save ~$3,330.
Typical US per-guest spend runs $200–$500 depending on region and style. NYC/SF/LA weddings routinely hit $600+ per guest. Rural and small-town weddings often land under $200.
Cutting 10 guests almost always saves more than any other line item — it compounds across catering, bar, rentals, stationery, and favors.
