My final #s! I personally think these are interesting....

We invited 198 and 156 are coming.

We were SURE we'd have at least 170-175 but no. We are happy with the # cause we were panicking at one point.

Just wanted to share my experience. We were very suprised with who said yes and who said no, aside from the obvious, people can really suprise you.

So I guess there's hope for me?! We're inviting 203 and hoping to have 150-160.

I agree with you 1 million percent! We invited 144 and were sure everyone was going to come...at least almost everyone! Well, as of now we have 69 people coming and 38 not yet RSVP'd but verbally said they'll come. That brings us to 107 people! Thank God we only guaranteed 100 - but yes, I too was expecting a lot more people! LOVE THE NO's!

Not bad at all.
Was it all the people who responded later that had no's?

We invited 190 and we got 130...we had to guarantee 150 but it worked out. Only 122 showed due to a family illness.

100% of my family in PR said no, one aunt in Georgia said no also. So definitely have a B list of friends if you want them there. We have a really high NO response rate - 35% because of this...but I could not be happier!

Re: My final #s! I personally think these are interesting....

I think I'm the only person who's hoping for yes's... I'm afraid no one is going to come!

Re: My final #s! I personally think these are interesting....

Oh god ...EVERY NIGHT I go to bed and pray that over 20% RSVP NO..

We have well over 300 invites and I would love to have 240-250 show!!!!

ETA: My mother tells me (kidding around of course) that I am going to go up in flames when I enter the church the day of my wedding for praying that over 20% rsvp NO...

Good/interesting to hear. We invited 235, we are hoping for 200, parents are hoping for 180 so we shall see..... also have a B list I want to get to. We guarantee 150 so I know we'll be fine.

Re: My final #s! I personally think these are interesting....

Re: My final #s! I personally think these are interesting....

Thanks guys you are giving me hope! So far everyone I have talked to is coming and we have 161 on the list. I got these napkins on ebay and only have 144! I keep praying for those NO's as well. I guess I will find out next week when I send out the invites who REALLY is coming. I would be happy if 50 didn't show since I only have to guarentee 100.
