We invited 226 and are not going to hit our minimum of 140 practically...we did have alot of OOT guests though. that's about a 40% no rate

Re: How many is to many???
I am having the same issue... we are inviting wayyy more than we can actually have. I am hoping for the 20% no rate that everyone keeps mentioning! Also I am sending out some invites later than others, not quite an A or B list but I am hoping that if I send out some invites later that they won't be able to come! haha is that bad?!

For what it's worth, we invited 178, and will have 119 attend....so if you're numbers are anything like ours you'll be fine.

Re: How many is to many???
um, i wouldn't risk it. if you can only afford to pay for 150...send out 160 or something small.
we wanted 140 max...yeah...apparently we are super popular and people we expected 'no's from actually said yes. luckily, we can swing it, but the 20% thing didn't hold water for us. we're looking at like 10%.

How many yes/nos are you up to Nicole? We were over the 20% yes/no ratio but that was because all my family is OOT so i knew that was going to happen. We ended up with 145 total with our vendors, with a minimum of 140.

Re: How many is to many???
I think you should be ok. We invited 280, we had alot of OOT and also invited everyone with a guest and alot are not bringing one. We wound up with 193. I wish I had not stressed so much about it the whole time because it wound up fine.
