how many guests do you plan on underestimating for your final count?

Hi Ladies,

The weather is terrible and I know sooo many people who are sick right now.... I don't want to be stuck paying for people who are unable to come last minute and I am giving in my final headcount today....

How many people do you plan on being a 'no-show' on your day of?

I was thinking 8.... but i feel like that may be too many

I would say 4.

I was thinking 3.. I've also heard that you can always underestimate and then one-two days before give the final number with the final seating chart.

I never even knew to do this. I just assumed we trust people are coming if they say they will, but good point about illnesses and i guess random things.
