Did anyone ever have or is having...

A lot more people coming to their wedding than origianlly planned on???

like when people say usually 10-20% dont come - how true is this???

Re: Did anyone ever have or is having...

we had the opposite, originally we had planned for 300-350 ppl. So we have a minimum of 275. Well recently they decided not to invite a whole group of ppl but still invited a little over 300. So not sure how this will work out.

I think its so hard to say, one girl on here said EVERYONE rsvp'd yes , ive seen many where just 20 ppl say no and then others who have 60 or so.

generally though ive heard 20-30% but you can never count on that

thats what i am afraid of - our wedding is on the smaller side and its a lot of our very close friends and family - i am finding it very hard to find people that i think will say no...

our max we can have is 140 and my list is at 155.... not that i wouldnt want all to show but the room simply cant accomodate them - it makes me worried!!

im guessing thats what a b list is for!

i dont think you have to worry. Youwill see that most people get more than 15 no's.

lol i am hoping that 275 or JUST a little less show up. I'd rather just be a little bit under my minimum than over

Ya it's tricky! Our room can only hold 200 so we invited 217 b/c i was terrified that I would be the perosn where everyone said yes and I didn't have a place to put them! I am hoping for a bunch of no's but so far everyone is a yes!

We have about 200 on our list and have to guarantee 165. We're hoping to be somewhere right in between!
