Ok, I'm not gonna lie...I'm kinda starting to freak out now.
I've been incredibly composed throughout the entire wedding process, and keep in mind we're doing this all from out of state (we live in FL, wedding is in NY).
We were originally going to send out invites on 7/7. Now, my mom is FREAKING OUT and SCREAMING her head off at me that this is 'too late' She demands that we send the invites out to 'her' guests sooner...like 6/15 the latest!
Anyway, we're gonna comply, just because I have enough $hit to deal with right now, and don't need any more!
Here's the thing...we paid Oheka up front for 125 guests. This is the # we guaranteed them. We are inviting 209, which both FH and I think is ludicrous to begin with.
Now, I'm freaking out that we're gonna have too many guests!!! I can't get this fear outta my head. I really cant.
I'm hoping that Thursday night makes it inconvenient for some people...especially OOT's that need to cut their work week short, pay for fights, accomodations, etc.
UGHHHHH....I just know that this stress is going to get to me, especially since invites are going out (Mom's people, not ours or FIL's guests) right before I start midterms!
What were your final numbers? Were you surprised? Was it more/less than you anticipated?

Re: Invites/Guest Count Freakout
Our guarantee is 185 and we're inviting 225 - I'm afraid that we won't have enough people.....A lot of people we have to invite - like my grandparents friends probably wont come - they are all in florida and in their 80's/90's (all whom are Holocaust survivors and like second parents to my mom - just so people aren't like why are you inviting your grandparents friends LOL) so we are sending 150 invites!

Re: Invites/Guest Count Freakout
I'm so glad to see it's not only me freaking out about the guest count! We have guaranteed 80, and have paid for the 80 but our guest list is looking more like 140. My beloved Future in laws are making it their duty to call the OOTs to give them the heads up so they can make arrangements!!! Even people from Puerto Rico are finding their way over here!
