because we're just about done getting all our rsvps and are just above our 165 minimum with a 176 guest count!!!
With it being New Year's Eve and basically out of town for everyone I had no idea how it'd pan out. Yes all of my and FH's friends were def coming, but who the heck knew what our parent's friends do?!?! Not that we couldn't invite more people...we just really wanted to be as close to our minimum as possible!
I am SOOOOO thankful for all the girls who prepped me on a large NO count. I made extra invites and was able to basically nailed our number. If I only invited our first draft of the guest list we'd definitely be somewhere under our minimum. This board rocks!!!!!!

Soooo happy to hear this Pam!!!
And trust me-you may even get a few drop outs the week of the wedding.
See if you can wait till like 4 days before to drop off your final payment. Literally AS we were driving to make the final payment we found out that 2 couples weren't coming anymore and 1 person decided not to bring a date.
LOL!!! Glad it all worked out!

I agree! And you also may even have a couple no shows come the day of the wedding.
I am so glad it worked out so well for you!

That's awesome news! You're very fortunate...it doesn't always work out that way and I'm living proof! My original guest list was 168, and I invited a B list, C list, D list, and even some totally last minute after the RSVP deadline people which I would not have invited had it not been for the suggestions of LIW girls, and it brought my invite list to 214 and I STILL did not meet my minimum with just guests. I met and exceeded with my vendors, but still...you girls are very very lucky!

I know super super fortunate!!
I don't have to make the final payment until the Monday before NYE (Thursday)... so that works out perfectly Jen!!!
These last minute drop outs better have a d@mn good excuse!!!
