RSVP question

my invites are out..so far everyone i recieved back is a YES!! we are hoping a bunch don't come....to keep out numbers down.

Is this normal? do the no's come back closer to the deadline..?? I'm getting nervous that we are going to go over....

I think it's typical for the no's to come towards the end.

But it depends on your guest list size. We only got 11 no's which was less than a 10% no rate because we invited only close friends and family.
