I have been told that 20% of the guests dont show but that is including out of state guests. I have to garuantee 225 and even with no OOS guests that is going to be hard.

Anyway I booked my RH and now I am just doing photographers and trying on dresses.

Good luck and enjoy these special times!

my BM along with alot of the other places told me about 15% respond no

I have to guarantee 125 people

So far We have 175 people to invite

My Hall can hold 150 comfortable

They say 180 but that will be way to crowded

So i am really hoping for between 130-150 people

I would defiantely suggest putting together an A lsit and a B list- maybe even a C lsit and start sending invites out early. Depending on the number of NO responses ou start to get you can start sending the other invites out accordingly. HTH!

I have heard that 25% decline.

By the way...I live near Russo's and my parents had their 25th anniversary party there. It is very pretty.
