IM OBSESSED!! (sorry kinda long)
i am obsessed with my guest list! I have 359 days 11 hours 56 mins and 50 seconds and i am freaking out that i am ....
#1: not going have everyones correct spellings of names and addresses
#2: not get the invites done in time (i bought blanks from acmoore and decided to print them myself)
#3: Not meet my minimum guest guarantee
and
#4: forget to invite some random family member from my in laws side
I dont know what to doooooooo.
My guest list has been a problem from the start. I asked my FMIL to give me a tenative guest list from her side of the family and any friends that she would like to invite. This is what i got in response from her ...'i know his phone number but i have no idea where he lives...' THIS IS HER BROTHER WE ARE TALKING ABOUT!!!! And his fathers side of the family wouldnt even fill HALF of a ten top table!!!!!!!![]()

My mother has the address of every family member we have that is still alive..in fact the ones who have passed away simply have a cross next to their name in her address book!! So when i need someone's address i just go to the 'bible' and go alphabetically. With FH's mother its like she has to call three other people to find out where her brother lives, because of course NO ONE speaks to each other in her family. I am SOOO close to just saying 'if they are not important enough in your life to have their address, why are they important enough to invite to the most special day of our lives?'
i have a 120 person minimum and i have 180 on my list right now...i am soooooo worried that i am gunna be under the minimum and have to pay for plates when no one is eating. Me and FH are paying for this ourselves and we cannot afford paying for empty seats..
