We won't meet ours either. There are a few people who I'd expected to come who won't be able to make it. I won't be officially stressed till my RSVP date, but it's a little upsetting, since we're not having a big thing to start with.

dont stress...people wait until the last min (and after) to respond. How many people is your min?

oakslady Posted: Sep 02, 2004 07:25 PM

Re: hmmm beginning to look like we arent going to meet our min by quite a bit!!

Re: hmmm beginning to look like we arent going to meet our min by quite a bit!!

How many invites did you send out?
People do wait till the last minute. Dont stress yet and I wish you luck!!

Ok, a bit freaky..I'm planning a baby shower and my rsvp date is next week. Just now I got another phone call!
See, people do wait. Im still waiting for at least 25-30 responses! Again..Good Luck

How many people did you invite? Do you have a B-list? Start inviting the people you originally cut!

Two weeks is a lot time. Most people send in regrets first knowing you could then invite more people

Re: hmmm beginning to look like we arent going to meet our min by quite a bit!!

what is really funny is we received alot of the no's ( or what i thought was alot ) right away so we sent out the b list already - and most of the people responding off the b list are saying no too -
who would ever have thought with a guest list of over 250 that we would have over half of them already saying no -
and what is worse about 50 of those left i just know wont come because they dont ever come to any family things - we just invited them out of respect.
so that is going to leave us at least 50 empty seats.
every time i get a no in the mail i just get all numb - we should have had a small destination wedding which is what i wanted in the beginning - i actually wanted to get married up at the renfaire but i was talked out of it because and i quote ' then everyone wont be able to come' well noone is comming anyways - goes to show you do what you want and dont let people talk you into things - i could have had my whole wedding for the 20 or 25 folks who would have travelled that far for less than 2,000 instead of this huge 30,000 affair.

so if you ladies would like to put together a liw table - ron and liz too - come have a ball - i mean seriously it is a masquerade party - it should be a total hoot.

I know how you feel. We are having 98 come and our minimum is 125. But honestly, I'm thrilled that I people I want there are coming. We had a lot of people i expected to come with dates come alone. Who would have figured. Trust me, the people you want there will make it, and the others well its there loss.
