Ladies do you have a fear of not making your...

RH minimum? Whats your backup plan?
And If that is the situation-would you invite a LIW Bride?

We didn't have to worry about that at all, so far we are 22 over our minimum-that is if we don't have any last minute no's

We didn't make ours Different Rhs handle it differently....most let you upgrade CH so it's not a total loss. Mine would only split the difference and let us take the extra dinners home. If you are really nervous ask your BM what they would do for you if you don't make it. Also have a B-list ready so that you can send out another invite as soon as you get a no

We invited 176 and ended up with 110. I knew that was going to happen, though, because so many were OOT. Our minimum was 100. So we had planned for that.

I've heard of other brides on here inviting LIW girls that they're really friendly with at the last minute. Otherwise you can try to ask for some upgrades to make up for having to pay for empty seats, or to pay full price for vendors.

My best advice is to try to plan as well as possible so your minimum won't be hard to make.

Re: Ladies do you have a fear of not making your...

Im very scared of not making my minimum!! We are not inviting any extended family or like... moms gyno or anything like that because my rule is if i dont know them, I dont wanna see them at my wedding. With that being said we have a lot of OOT guests, and literally only like 5 people can say no with our in town guests!!!

Re: Ladies do you have a fear of not making your...

ABSOLUTELY! We guaranteed 175 w/o any hesitation just because we absolutely loved our room and wouldn't settle for anything else. We put together a tentative guest list, and it was like 200 (already including people I really don't care for). I need to make more friends quick lol!

Re: Ladies do you have a fear of not making your...

I'm a little freaked out about it just cause we switched to a bigger room (with bigger minimum) as our guest list grew, but now I think we should've stayed in the smaller room.

Re: Ladies do you have a fear of not making your...

if you don't make your min, the rh may add in something a little extra...

Re: Ladies do you have a fear of not making your...

Def not. I think we're going to be way over our min because our guest list sky rocketed..This is actually not a good thing to me

Re: Ladies do you have a fear of not making your...

We booked our RH for a minimum of 150 people and I'm pretty sure that we will make our mimium.

If not, we need to find out what our RH does in the event that we don't...
