Are you almost hoping everyone won't attend?

Are you almost hoping everyone won't attend?

I know that sounds bad but . . our guest list is at 180 - the room only holds 160 comfortably. Seems everyday FH remembers someone he 'forgot' to add after months of me asking for his guest list. Love everyone (that I know) on our guest list & want them all to come but I'm almost afraid they all will! Am I nuts?

Hope I didn't just jinx myself!

You are not nuts. I think everyone hopes for that.

Our list is at 280 and we can only have 240 but that will be tight so we hope even more cannot come. I think we are only going to invite 250 and hope for the best.

I felt the exact same way. In fact the first 'Wedding Nightmare' I had was that everyone DID show up!

I am definately hoping 50 won't come. I wrote my list out early on. FH never really gave me a list, just kept saying this one and that one. WELL, when we recently began putting the names on a spreadsheet we realized we would have over 200 people when we were only planning for approx 150

I only have to guarantee 120, so I am hoping that we only have a bit over that, but since we are inviting 180, i don't think that is going to happen.

I feel like my FIL keep inviting people since my side is much bigger, to bump up their side, get over it, your family is smaller, let;s not invite every tom Dick and Harry to make up for it!!!

Me too. My place holds only a certain number and so we need some invitees to decline.

MY DH did the same thing to me with the guest list. Right up to the night of stuffing the envelopes - he added 7 more cousins he forgot about

After we reached our minimum - I was praying for no's too:)

I'm inviting 170 and the room only hold 150, so I hope I get no's. We thought about who probably won't be able to come and who won't bring a guest and I think we'll be OK with the #.

we need at least 180 people. So I am inviting 220. With half the guest list from Saint Louis, I am almost guaranteed that some of them won't come.
