I was ! FH has a lot of family they are older and live far upstate and into NJ so they will not be coming! We also have like 10 guest who will not be bring dats and that really made our number drop. I am actually sending out 4 more invites today , I am putting a note in with it they are friends from HS that I saw at a party this weekend I original invite them but with fh long list I took them of the list and wish I had not.

I'm not going to make my minimum! My deadline is tomorrow and a lot of people haven't responded.

I guess I will have to see. It's pretty frustrating.

I was getting RSVP a week after the deadline date I put.

I'm not, I want a lot of No because my family is so big. I would love to just pay for 150.

I was VERY nervous... luckily my minimum is 100 and I bumped up my guest list to 170.

I will always fill a seat for you if you need people!!!!!

I was worried about having to many people and now because some of my family members are being such @sses, I am worried we will not make the minimum.

im worried because people s*u*c*k. I know a lot of times the people you think you can count on, let you down.
FMIL also changes her mind about guests all the time.

Yes - getting a little nervous. Our minimum is 150....we are inviting 206 - but off the bat we know that about 25 people are not coming. We would like to stay around 150...but we are scared we are either going to be really over (like 175) or really under. fingers crossed that we get around 150!

Re: is anyone else getting nervous about numbers?

I'm inviting 220 but only wanted about 175 so I'm hoping for no's!!

Re: is anyone else getting nervous about numbers?

This has been our only wedding argument. Our min. is 130, our invite list is at 202. FH is convinced we're going to be under, I am convinced we're going to have WAY too many ppl. I guess we'll find out in a few months!

Re: is anyone else getting nervous about numbers?

I'm praying for HUGE amount of 'no's!

Re: is anyone else getting nervous about numbers?

i'm worried about the opposite, having only like 5 people say no. These are already the expected no's from out of state-ers.

Re: is anyone else getting nervous about numbers?

I'm kind of hoping that we come in right at or under our minimum. We were told we'll get extra food thrown in. Maybe that's awful, but it's what I'm hoping for!
