Re: i need a little help from the 07ers!!!!

I have heard that about 1/3 of your list will not come. I have not sent out invites yet so I don't know yet, but this is what they say. You should definitely be fine! You are not too much over right now

There is just NO WAY. You'd be surprised who will start having trips, etc.

We invited too many ppl too! I'm hoping for LOTS to say no (but I'm sure some of the older ppl, pll far away, etc. will decline).

PS: I LOVE HOUSE!!!!

Don't worry about it. We invited over 280 and we were nervous it would be too crowded. We had close to 230 there and it was perfect. Even though you wish everyone you invite should come, not everyone can make it and you'll be fine

Re: i need a little help from the 07ers!!!!

i'm sure you will be fine.....BUT remember---you have some time before your invites are going out--and from now until then you will find even MORE ppl you'll want to invite!

set limits on your list--if you don't start cutting it down now, you will really be fretting later!

Re: i need a little help from the 07ers!!!!

You should be fine... I've gotten lots of no's so far.

Re: i need a little help from the 07ers!!!!

I have great news for you. Out of 170ppl that we invited, only 96 are coming

It means I am under my min of 100ppl but it is good news for you

kat74 Posted: May 30, 2007 05:41 PM

Re: i need a little help from the 07ers!!!!

Don't worry --it is incredibly rare that everyone will come! We invite 229 people and we are hoping to get 145 ( we may actually fall short )

Re: i need a little help from the 07ers!!!!

I am in the same boat as you. Stupid me, not thinking, sent out save the dates and everything and when the list was said and done, it is about 250 people and I just called Jericho Terrace the other day and the BM informed me that the room can hold 210 max b/c it is being divided for my cocktail hour. When we went to JT to book, we were worried about meeting our 160 minimum but to be honest with you, we will probably be way over that.

Re: i need a little help from the 07ers!!!!

I heard most people who respond at the last minute, respond no

Re: i need a little help from the 07ers!!!!

take my advice..def think alot b4 you have your final list. I sent WAY too many ppl STDs and then was locked into inviting more than we would like now. Just be smart and think about who you really want to be surrounding you on your day. Youll be fine and no way everyone you invite will come. Dont worry!

Re: i need a little help from the 07ers!!!!

I invite 140.. 101 are coming...

raema29 Posted: May 30, 2007 06:26 PM

Re: i need a little help from the 07ers!!!!

i invited 130 and 100 are coming ... so you will def get no's ...

Re: i need a little help from the 07ers!!!!

Dont' worry I'm sure you will get some no's.

I'm in your boat though... we invited 335 and we got only 2 no's right now. We think everyone is going to come!

We were hoping for ALOT more no's.
