before you started planning,

Re: last QOTD

From the beginning I wanted a 'small' wedding but with our parents wanting to invite everyone..we compromised on a venue with a minimum of 165. We're still getting rsvps in but I'm hoping we don't go TOO over the 165

Re: last QOTD

we guarenteed 150, and thought we were going to be around that number, we would up with 208 attending as many of our out of town guests were able to make it

Re: last QOTD

my dream size was 200, then i though ok maybe 250 is more realistic. After putting together my half of the list and it coming to 209. I knew that all thoughts were out the window. I never knew my family was so huge. Then FH gave me his list and that was another 250. We were wayyyyy off.

eta: sorry for crashing i didn't realize i was on the 09 board. let's see how many actually show up.

I thought we would invite 205. My dad decided everyone should be with a guest, and we thought of some more. 248 invited, 166 coming

We originally thought we would be inviting over 200. But we invited 189, had to guarantee 110 and had 130 show.

Re: last QOTD

We thought we'd have 125 and it looks like after all is said and done we'll have 121-122 as a max, inclulding ourselves. Just 3 short of our min, UGH. Ehh we'll meet it with our vendors, but still, sooooooo close.

Originally we thought we'd only invite like 168. That was our A-list. But then we went to a B list, a C list, and a D list We ended up with 214 people invited and we still couldn't meet our minimum because we had sooooooooo many OOT and elderly guests, compromised like 85 people of that 214.
