how many no's?

Original post by Jsquared

Hey girls.. hoping you can help me with my momzilla.

My mother is freaking out about 'over-inviting'. She wants to invite only 10 over our minimum? I am positive at least 20 will not come! AT LEAST! (OOT, ppl from work, etc)
What was the percentage of no's you girls had?

My guarantee is 200, how many should i invite? TIA!!!

Crashing! Me too. Super scared of this

We're inviting 260 and our minimum is 150 but we REALLY can't afford more than 200 to come

We had to guarantee 185 and we invited 223 and we were below our minimum. We had a couple of no-shows the day of (3) and I haven't even tried to figure out how many people we actually had. They let us count our vendors toward the min.

We guaranteed 225. We invited 250 and we ended up with 239 including FH and I.

I couldn't buy a 'no'. About 10% No.

We invited 227 and ended up with 176 attending. So, about 22% said no.

We guaranteed 200 and invited 267. We are still waiting for some responses even though the rsvp date was LAST WEEK!!!! We anticipate 61 nos when all is said and done, which is a 23% no rate. We were really worried there for a bit that we were going to have about 250 at the wedding, but it worked out just fine and we could even go to the b-list!!!

About 33% no's. We had a bunch of OOT, but a lot of local people couldn't attend as well.

I was hoping for 20%, but were at like 15% no rate right now.

If your minimum is 200, then you should invite 240-250. If you only invite 210-215 ppl, chances are you won't make your minimum. Tell Mom to take a chill pill
