Yep and some people invite anyone else who's involved in the ceremony (readers, etc.) and also some invite OOT guests. We invited some other close family memebers....

Damn, well I think we may be paying for - so we wanted to just do the bp & parents - we have 2 readers (my gramp & his gram)...is that terrible if it's just us and not including ne one else?

Not terrible.. just make sure the readers know when they will be called.

FH and I are paying for it ourselves also... We are having 38 people... Im finding it the most stressful thing to find an inexpensive place to have it!!!
GRRRRRr I feel your pain..

what do you consider inexpensive? we just booked ours; the price ranged from $29.95 without dessert and $33.95 with. Does not include alcohol - we are running a tab for it which will be cheaper than adding the $9 PP

I think we are having 18 adults and 6 kids, I'm only doing immediately family and the BP.

Well I wanted it to cost around $1500 but the I can't find anything less than $2500.

The big problem is I have 9 girls and 9 guys...plus readers.. blah blah blah.. so it's 38 people... PLUS...I definitely cannot run a tab... FH's family are BIG BIG DRINKERS!!!! We would have to take out a 2nd mortgage on our house if we ran a tab!! :)

I was quoted..$24.95 pp..then $2pp for cappucino and Espresso...$1.50 pp 'plate charge' for cake..and $12.95 pp wine and beer... PLUS $10 FOR CHILDREN UNDER 8!!!!

Crazy!!!!!

Re: re: RD

Our RD will be us, our parents, siblings, BP & significant others and the readers. We didn't invite any OOT guests b/c it would have been impossible to draw the line. We have 30 ppl as it is!

I am in the same exact boat...my most recent 'thing' was to ask a hotel what kind of package deal we can get if we book the RD, block 10 rooms, and have the Post-Nuptial Breakfast Buffet at the hotel. It depends on what they come back with....I am looking to pay less than $30 pp if possible so we will see...

In response to the post, I don't think it's terrible to only have immediate family at the RD. We have OOT guests and a lot of family and we wanted to include them, but it's really what you and your FH want to do and can afford to do
