not making minimum

well..looks like i will be under by about 30 people..i got some things thrown in but i still have some invite room

i know its been talked about before..but how inappropriate would it be to maybe have a LIW table of 4 or 5 girls and their FH?/

i just dont want all that money to go to waste

Re: not making minimum

you only got a few rsvp's back...are you sure you won't make minimum, maybe wait until you get more

Re: not making minimum

FH family..out of 56 people..only 5 are coming(mom, dad, sister, grandmother and cousin/best friend)

they dont get the whole NY wedding and they think its just a park kegger that they dont have to fly cross country to be there for

and they also said..dont expect any gifts either

these are the kind of people i have to deal with

Re: not making minimum

wow 30 guests is alot
i dont think its innapropriate to ask the LIW gals to join in for some wedding fun!!!
i think its a great idea!

Aw, that sux, but like Denise said, maybe you should wait 'til you get a few more RSVP's back.

Otherwise....I'd totally go!! I want to see your dress!

Not inappropriate at all!!!!

Do you want some of my guests? I have a few I'd loooooooove to give ya.

Re: not making minimum

well also don't forget to include vendors towards your minimum. And also ask your parents if theres any friends they'd also like to invite...good luck and also you're getting things thrown in so makes up for it

Re: not making minimum

Don't forget to include you and FH! I did that

Re: not making minimum

i know..i did the same thing..

i just assumed we were free or something like that

at this point..i dont care if i pay all that money for just me and evan..its not important to me anymore that these people arent coming..i dont even know half of them...its our day and we will be there so there is really nothing to worry about

I was just about to say, don't forget vendors

and if you're still under your minimum, there's nothing wrong with inviing us!

Re: not making minimum

Maybe you can call the hall and see if they can lower the min. for you.

Re: not making minimum

Re: not making minimum

omg it is SOOOOO not inappropriate at all!!

i had the same exact issue--i was gonna be under my min. cause my family sux balls. so in the end, i invited like 5 or 6 LIWers and their FHs.....and we had a a GREAT time together!!!!!

who understands better than a fellow bride? i just said 'please come--i don't want to pay for an uneaten plate..no gifts...just have fun!'
