In all we invited 171 and as of right now we have 102. With the economy and some of the married ladies coming without their DH's it really killed us. We had about 20 OOT and they arent coming.

Honestly, I was!

I mean obviously some people said no (I think like 5 couples) and most of our other no's were because we invited everyone with a guest and some people didn't bring one.

did u expect alot more people to say yes? we had about 125 invited to our engagement party and i think less than 10 rsvped no. so i dont know what to expect for the wedding, im assuming alot will say yes, but im not really sure.

I thought we would have atleast 120-140 but, I was wrong. Some of our long time friends arent coming and could come up with a real reason.

We invited 127 and expected about 100-108 and it looks like we are going to have exactly 100 which is ok by me

We expected very few no's and I'm starting to get worried because only a week after sending out invites we already got 8 no's and we have to guarantee 200 and only invited 205 to begin with!

Thanks I'm hoping so! I wasn't completely shocked, it's not any family or close friends...so far at least, but I was surprised at a few like my mom's boss who has come to previous parties (engagement, sisters sweet 16, other co-workers children's weddings).

Right now our decline rate is 35% of those we invited (invited a total of 232) and I expect that to go up. I think they typically say that 20-25% don't come. So no, I wasn't expecting that many 'no's' and I got a lot of no's form people I didn't expect to.

we invited 310 and only 210 came ... 100 people said NO!!! THANK GOD ... i dont know how we would have been able to pay or fit another 100 people! plus we got married on a holiday so a lot of people couldnt make it ... which was fine with us because everyone who we wanted (all the important family members and friends were all there)

I haven't done my invites... but I am expecting A Lot of people to say yes. The only no's will be peoples guest... and even that will most likely be people who aren't bringing one because they are single. i have a lot of single friends.

We invited 60 for our eparty.... and literally EVERY SINGLE person said yes and all but ONE came. The one who didn't come cancelled last minute becuase she was stuck away at school (it's FH neice and she's in college - He is the youngest of 5). So also judging by that... I think there will be a lot of yes's. We may have a few no's... but majority will most likely be yes.

we invited 410, and had 295 total -maybe it was cuz it was a holiday weekend? maybe it was the economy? but all in all it came out perfect, and hey we had extra space and i invited the wait staff and workers during the after party to come out and party!!!!!!!!!!! lol keep your head up, it will all be perfect
