Same here. We invited 233, and so far have 77 yes RSVP's (NOT including BP) and 7 no's.

AND I still have another 30 on the b-list

Scratch that.......I just came home for lunch and found 6 more yes's in my mailbox....make that a total of 83 yes

Re: does anyone want to cry...

Re: does anyone want to cry...

I promised FH no more than 50 - it's at 67 and he is constantly growling about it.

Re: does anyone want to cry...

yes!!!! we're not going to send our invites out too far in advance. whatever is typical, we'll probably subtract a week or two.

but we already sent save the dates...so not sure how much this will help.

Re: does anyone want to cry...

YES! We guarenteed 225 and I was hoping to have a guest list of 275 but it's at 286 and I'm I think we might have to move some of the B list people! I just looked at it the other day and it gives me a heart attack every time! We're hoping to only have 225. It's a holiday weekend and we only sent save the dates to out of town people so hopefully that will help! Plus people in college have to be in the dorms, OY!

Re: does anyone want to cry...

We started with a small guest list looking for places that would allow us a 75 person minimum... and now our guest list is at 180. I know that is still small by some standards but not at all what we originally wanted. So much for a small intimate wedding.
