Posted by smilesjc81

im expecting about 2 to 4 last min cancels

one a shady ex-coworker w/ a guest
one co-worker w/ a guest


im mentally prepping myself for them to now show up
but I already warned people on FB

I will CALL YOU OUT IN PUBLIC if you dont excuse yourself from my weddinf properly

i actually wont mind 2 or 3 formal informed cancellations

I only wanted 80 people at my wedding, i'm sitting at 101 LOL

---

i like the calling out part.. i would be beyonddddd mad at whoever was a no show.. they can definately not expect to really hear from me anymore!

Omg now I am panicked!! Ok girls I have 2 1/2 weeks....if I get cancellations last minute, who is coming???

---

mememe but I already told you this.

LOL I can be your 'on call'.

I had 4.
AND THE WORST PART, IT WAS FAMILY! My aunt, her bf, and 2 cousins!
havent heard from any of them since the wedding so i have no reason why.

Crashing... this is a really common issue. When I gave my final number, I subtracted about 8. I ended up going about 5 over my final number. My maitre d was cool with that-he said we could pay for any extra plates after the wedding. And he set the seating charts for the original number (+8). Hth

good to know! thanks!

I had 3 no shows day of.

I also had some cancelations and deaths the week before :(

I actually exactly made my minimum when I included the dj lol.

Thanks for sharing. I was planning to do the same. I guaranteed 170 adults and my final count is 176 adults and 11 kids. I'm just planning to pay for the kids and not for the extra 6 guest just in case I end up with last minute cancellations. If they all end up coming then I bring the extra cash just in case.

My friend just got married & told me she had 5 no show? Now she has my worried because thats a waste of $750-

---

that's BS!!!! My friend had someone who responded yes and then a few days before said he wasn't going. THen gave her a check for $25!! Mind you, it was a raphael vineyards so that wasn't even CLOSE to covering his plate, or even his cutlery!

WOW. That is so messed up!!

What is wrong with people?? I am not looking forward to all of this stress.
