How big is it? And do you think that you can cut anyone?

Re: My guestlist is out of control

I hear you! I am so afraid of not meeting our minimum that I have had no restrictions! Haven't said no yet to anyones (FMIL, FH, my mom) request....the guest list is currently at 265...minimum is 175...that DOES include a decent amount of OOT, but still...

Janie,

STOP the madness!!! If it's getting out of control, maybe you should try to cut some people? I don't want to see you go into debt or become upset because of this.

Thats not bad then because you are going to have No Rsvp's. I want 120, inviting 165.

These are the exact numbers we are working with in terms of inviting and how many we want to actually come. It has come to the point where I am afraid to answer my phone or look at emails from my FH or mom...knowing that there is a 99% chance it is about adding more people! Stop the insanity!!!!!

Re: My guestlist is out of control

I feel your pain Janie. We are like at 325 maybe even a bit more. How gross is that!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: My guestlist is out of control

We're still waiting for 31 RSVPs which totals 48 people. We're hoping for only 20 to say yes at the most 25!!!

We invited a little over 200 and are hoping for 135-140 at the most!!! It's getting to the wire for us.

Re: My guestlist is out of control

You should be ok, Janie!! Remember about 20% of your guest list will RSVP No.

Do you really think that many people will say no?

Re: My guestlist is out of control

Can totally relate ours went from 225 to almost 300.

BEANS Posted: Mar 22, 2006 03:03 PM

Re: My guestlist is out of control

Mine was over 300-we just kept cutting & cutting. We did our final the other night and we are at 252. Just go over it again, you will be surprised how many you can take off from when you originally did it.
