So we have our preliminary guest list. Way over minimum and have been trying to slim it down. We have our definites and we have our must invite but definitely won't attend. Well I just found out 6 people on my definitely won't attend are definitely attending AND are staying at Danfords to attend the bruch the next morning. I am now nervous because many of our definite nos have told us in the last month how they all cannot wait to attend our festivities. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Re: guest list
We have that problem also! The people who we thought we def not coming are now coming. We invited more people since we thought those people were not coming. Oh vey! I think FH and I need to sit down and go over the guest list and make a B list. Good luck, I know exactly how you feel!

Re: guest list
i wouldnt get too nervous yet since you have time. i had people who i thought would be no's tell me they cant wait and are def coming and then the invites went out and they responded no anyway!
i also had def no's respond yes and def yes's respond no so its been balancing out so far.

Re: guest list
I'm sure people will end up responding NO because something will come up...not necessarily more important than your wedding, but like an illness in the family or limited funds etc.

Re: guest list
Its true, you have some time so a lot can change!
I have six family members from German that we thought were definitely no's already booking their flights to NYC so I know they are definitely in!
Try to look at it like more people you care are coming and not just the numbers...I'm sort of flattered that they are willing to come all this way to see me get married!

Re: guest list
Same thing is happening to me. My mom insisted on inviting some people and was like oh they're not going to come, they won't travel... and she insisted i send STD's which i didn't want to give them any extra notice... well 2 couples already booked rooms and a bunch of others keep emailing me telling me they can't wait. So now my mom owes me money.
