NO MAKING YOUR MINIMUM

If you are under your minimum will the CLM usually throw things in for you since you are paying the money anyways

I haven't called yet to ask them but I fear more and more everyday that nobody is coming to my wedding because my mom just keeps telling me what a huge inconvenience for everyone being that it is in NY and we don't live there

SO IM scared I might not make it

but I want to get my moneys worth too

Re: NO MAKING YOUR MINIMUM

I think it's worth a shot to call and ask. Good luck.

If you need extra people I'll come, but bear in mind i'll be drunk, loud, and wearing a white dress also. And possibly the veil from my First Holy Communion.

I wish I wasn't making my min. We promised 225 and we're already up to 320.

Re: NO MAKING YOUR MINIMUM

We were concerned when booking a place about not making the minimum, so we asked at almost every place that if we didn't make the minimum if they could throw in extras. Some places said they would throw in things like chair covers, Venetian table, etc. Just ask!

Like 80% of our guests are FH's family and family friends. He has a huge family! We figured 280 but promised the RH 225. We were hoping for even less. But when the list was finished, my mom and his mom had each added on 20 more guests and the list is up to 320 now! lol

Re: NO MAKING YOUR MINIMUM

its worth a shot to ask but most places wont budge on the minimum...maybe they will give you the extra meals uncooked for you to take home and you can freeze them.....dinner for a week type of thng...
maybe they could add some extras at the cocktail or throw in some cookies and stuff....

good luck with that one hopefully they work with you

you are so silly. I would call and ask ahead of time what your options are. If you are paying the money you should get something for it!
