Changing guest list min. with RH?.....

hi ladies...just wanted some advice....

i had guaranteed 200 for my guest list.....but FI and I ...or shouldi a say I.... really looked at the guest list and it looks like we have about 250 people......and usually 30% is a no-show.....which gives us about 168 people.....

my question is....do you think i can ask the hall to change my minimum?...my wedding is a year and 1/2 away....not sure....FI says to leave ti alone....but i dont want to waste that extra $$....what do you think....PLEASE HELP!!!...

TIA!

They usually say it's a 20% no show rate, not 30%, which would put you right at 200. Also, are you doing save the dates? I think that usually increases attendance rates...

Can't hurt to ask your hall if they'll do it. But, if they won't, I wouldn't panic!
