Total Invited: 125
Total Yes: 92
Total No: 27

**The remaining No's were people who were invited 'and guest' and are coming alone.

ETA: I think that is about 25% No's.

This is right about what I'm hoping for, we have 124 on our list with a 75 minimum!

Invited 334 (we have large families and a lot of friends)

Attended: 269

Decline rate 20%*

*At least 30 of the 65 no's were guests of friends/family that did not bring one. I was shocked but only one person brought someone the the wedding that i didn't know.

this is where our guest list is at right now so I am happy to see a more manageable number actually came !

Re: Official 'Yes-No Response Ratio' Thread

240 inviting, I know some wont make it already so I figured 211.
How do I look from there?

150 is min and hoping I didnt have to add....I can take/handle 175.

this is a great thread!

Re: Official 'Yes-No Response Ratio' Thread

Okay, MAYBE I'm starting to feel a little better. We have to guarantee 125; and I do not mind going over at all...but the hall is really pushing its limits at around 150 and I'm getting freaked out. We've invited 184... ALL of his side is out of town, which is 89 people. I am expecting about 90% yes from mide side, all local, most close family on my 93. I am very nervous about the total being higher than the room can handle!

Re: Official 'Yes-No Response Ratio' Thread

We invited 152 (with a minimum of 100)

142 Adults
10 Kids

Attended:
117 Adults
10 Kids

Didn't Attend:
25

We had 6 people who lived in Europe, we invited them b/c they are my first cousins, but we knew they wouldn't come. And some of our friends who were +1 didn't bring dates.

I think we that we figured that most people didn't have conflicts b/c it was in February.

Re: Official 'Yes-No Response Ratio' Thread

135 Invited

75 yes

60 no

13 no shows

Most of the nos were OOT, & people who we knew wouldn't make it anyway.

Out of the 13 no shows, 7 were due to family emergencies, 2 were friends who arrived stag instead of with a guest, and the other 4 still have yet to apologize or give an explanation.

45% no rate
(And to think FH told me to STOP inviting people!)

75 minimum on a Sunday night in April
