Invited versus Coming

Hi girls,

For those of you who have already had your wedding, or whose wedding is fast approaching, could you give me an idea of how many people you invited versus how many people actually responded yes?

Our venue only holds 250 people and we guaranteed a minimum of 200. We are planning to invite around 260 - just trying to get an idea of whether we will hit the target or not.

Thanks :)

We invited 220 for our minimum of 175. We have 163 coming. Stinky.

Re: Invited versus Coming

MAJOR bone of contention for me....we invited nearly 200 thus far, were shooting for 125, and as of this moment today we only have 68 confirmed coming I have 2 weeks till the RSVP deadline yet, so we'll see what happens.

ETA: our min is 125, and of the 199 invited the breakdown was like 80 OOT.

Re: Invited versus Coming

our min was 200 also & we invited around 260 initially but by the end, we had invited around 280 and just made our minimum (we used some vendors). you should be close! make sure you have a 'B' list or at the very least some co-workers that you can invite last minute if needed.

Re: Invited versus Coming

Our min is 150. So far I have actually received 152 yes and 95 no. If we include the missing RSVP's (23 of them - all FH's friends ) to include the people who say 'yes - we're coming have to mail that back' we will be at 162.

However, we had invited 96 OOT guests!

Re: Invited versus Coming

We invited 181 and had 130 show up but had 3 no shows (for a more than good reason)

Re: Invited versus Coming

Our minimum is 120. We originally invited 180 then had to invite more to meet our minimum. So in total we invited 197 people and only 121 are coming! Made our minimum by 1! We have a few outstanding RSVP's but at this point we assume they are a no. Make sure you have a B list.

Re: Invited versus Coming

We invited around 215 and had 170 I think. Our min was 165. Most of the nos were bc we invited everyone with a date and most of our friends/family didn’t bring one.

Re: Invited versus Coming

We originally invited about 240 for a min of 200. We had to up that... and now invited abotu 260 .... still trying to get to that 200. I think we are at 178 or so... and still waiting on the answers.

I used to think dress shopping was the hardest.... RSVP's have replaced dress shopping tenfold!! UGH!! Sooo annoying. I detest the I DON'T KNOW answers!! SOOOO ANNOYING!! it makes me want to slap people. I'm 21 days out and still getting I DON'T KNOW as an answer!! Thanks A HOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry for the vent... but there are very few places I can actually say that! haha!!
