My invite list is at 311 people not couple. ok most of the people on the list are from my mom, some I do know some I don't and if I do it was maybe once. mom went a little over board! I got over the shock(yes I thought it was only 180 like she said) I never bothered to count it up untill it was time to start looking into favors. When I counted and counted again I flipped out,came out of it and then started thinking and this is where you guys come in! I am supposed to pay for the favors but seince this is not what i was expecting should I 1: pay for it all and shut up? 2: talk to her and tell her how I feel that seice this is not what i was thinking and pay for make her pay the differance of 180? 3: or wait a little longer and see how many no's I get and then take it from there?
This is sad I know a bride hoping for no's but I am after what she is been doing to me I need no's! thanks girls!

Re: Ok I need some advice?
I think I would wait a little bit to see how the responses come in. In the mean time you could start looking into favors at different price ranges. Like, If you end up getting all 300+ guest coming, maybe look into small wine bottles, they are pretty cheap. Or start checking local dollar stores to see if they have anything nice. Look for cheaper favors incase it turns out you need a lot!! Good Luck!!

If you are close to you mom I would ask her if she could possibly help out with the favors since you didnt expect to have so many people. Tell her lets see how many come and ill let you know if I need your help.

Well I think the big questionis can you afford the extra people? If you can't I would def. speak to my mom about either helping out or cutting the list down
What about your hall. Usually when you book you have a general idea on the #'s, Can your room fit all the extra people?

Personally I would wait a little bit and see what happens. Then I would talk to your mom and ask her about making up the difference in $$ over her 180. Who's paying for the extra people's plates? If you are then I think she should foot the bill for the extra favors.

Maybe you should consider giving favors per couple instead of per person. Also, do your research to find the best possible price for the favors.

Do favors per couple or consider maybe donating to a charity that way you have a set amount of $ to spend.
