so stressed!

We invited 250 people to our wedding and cut the list there - we were worried it was going to be too many people, so some people were cut from the list. Now i have people still calling me - three weeks before the wedding telling me no! FH insisted on inviting all these people - only 60 from his side of the list are coming! I had 83 Nos!!! it p!sses me off that i had to cut people so his stupid family could be invited and then they all said no!

Re: so stressed!

we had the same problem.. i had to invite people from my mom's side of the family who we knew were not coming and hardly ever see. .. sure enough they all replied no.. so we could have invited more.. but its too late for that.

Re: so stressed!

I invited 233 (and that was after cutting it TREMENDOUSLY) and we only had 146...

I should have just invited everyone. I didnt realize how many last minute 'nos' we would have...

Re: so stressed!

I HEAR YA! I understand the people that have plans and say no and send it back right away BUT how about sayin yes and then CALLING ME and leaving a message on my machine that something came up....
NICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Thanks for nothing I could have invited other people I really had to cut but I know would have came. People are crazy!

I have the same problem...we invited a little more than 220 and right now we have about 160. We are just at our min. which is a relief but I still wish I would have known.

Re: so stressed!

It's awful. I am so sorry..I really don't get people at ALL!

Today FH emails me to tell me that someone from his work replied yes for '2' but now the guy's girlfriend realized she can't go.

Re: so stressed!

Had the same problem. Invited 216 after cutting a lot of people and ended up with 125. Our minimum was 150. I was so pissed too. We had to pay for people who weren't there, meanwhile people I wanted there I didn't invite because it looked like we would have too many. :( It *****. Sorry. But don't let it ruin your day. We got shrimp cocktail, sushi, and a chocolate fountain thrown in because of it.
