we invited our a&b lists with 124 ppl. our minimum is 100 and our rsvp date is oct 26th. so far, we've received 76 confirmations and 7 declines. we have a c list of 12 ppl. when (if ever) should i start panicking and inviting our c list?

do you think that ill even need them though? we dont really want to be over our numbers. even with a 20% decline for what we have left im gauging our number to be at 104/5. am i far off??

You can never tell, it's up to you. we had 7 people cancel the week of the wedding - 2 couples had deaths in the family, 1 couple had an illness and 1 gf no showed.

I would send them now as well. I had the same problem and was scrambling 3 weeks before my head count was due. I finally got to about 8 people over my minimum but then I had 3 people cancel after I put in my final head count and had 9 no shows the day of the wedding. After all that I still ended up under our head count.

What's more important - paying ONLY for your minimum, or using up all the seats even if you go over a little. If you only want to pay your minimum, hold off on the C list. You may end up paying for the extra meal or two, but you can have them wrap it up for you.

If people cancel the day of, are you still charged?
