Whatever happened to that certain percentage of 'no's' ?! LOL ! Out of 120 people I have like 3 saying no. We are going to have to take out an emergency loan!

Re: this is scary - everyone is saying YES!

we found that to be true in the beginning. the people who responded 'no' took a while to send their responses in. the 'yes' people got them in right away... you'll be okay! or.. you'll have A LOT of loved ones around on your special day.

We didn't get most of our No's until after the response cards were due. We were really nervous also because were invited more people than our hall could hold.

OMG,

Don't worry, hopefully they'll be a few no's here and there. I'm hoping to get quite a few no's or I might get that emergency loan! YIKES!

Re: this is scary - everyone is saying YES!

Honestly, I always tell brides that when you invite someone plan on them attending in your budget and reception site counts. I have known people who were shocked at the amount of yes RSVPs they got.

Re: this is scary - everyone is saying YES!

I invited 212 and got back 165 yes'es. I was getting a little nervous at the beginning because I wasn't getting any no's. But I feel good with 165. Now let's just hope we don't have 'no-shows'

Re: this is scary - everyone is saying YES!

An important lesson that I've learned is, the majority of the people who will wait until the last minute to drop their RSVP cards in the mail are the same ones who probably aren't coming. Also the ones who are too lazy to drop the cards in the mail probably aren't coming either.

Trust me....you'll get some 'NO's'....but at the last minute.

Father GOD....why can't people just DO WHAT THEIR SUPPOSED TO DO??!?!?!!?
