So undecided - just meeting my minimum, do I reach out to aquaintances or not?
I am not at my final RSVP date yet and a few people I expected to bring dates are not, so i'm juuuust making my minimum. I wanted to keep it small so I didn't over invite by that many.Is it rude if I'm one month out to reach out to people I didn't invite? I know some girls on here have done that and people weren't offended. On the other hand, I'm having a small wedding so maybe I should just keep it small and not invite someone that I don't think I'm going to be friends with in the future.
This is the worst part! I'm just worried if anyone cancels last minute I won't meet it.
I think in the end, I'm not going to do that and I'm going to keep it as it is. I know I can always call on some seat fillers from here
I know they can always count the vendors or something too if it's just a few. Sorry this is half question/half vent that I'm stressed but I always feel better after letting it out here!

I would definitely use your vendors as people then and use any children as adults as well.We are hacing a small wedding too (100 people) and are trying to keep it as close as possible to that number. So far we are a couple of people over and our RSVP date is today. Although I am still waiting for quite a few RSVPs.
I think you will be fine!!

I was having a small wedding, but people decided to ask me to invite others. So now I'm over my minimum, big time!!! OMG!

I plan to use my vendors to reach my minimum if necessary. I don't want to add people just for the sake of adding them.Btw, for those waiting on RSVPs--- I put up a FB status on April 1st how everyone has 20 days to get their RSVPs in and 20 days before I behead anyone who does not get them in in a timely manner and it totally worked! 4 RSVPs yesterday and 3 came in the mail today! I highly suggest threats to get those RSVPs in!

Not sure if you did, but don't forget to include yourself and FH.Some halls might include the 2 of you but doesn't hurt to double check.

Yeah I mean money wise it's best to stay at our minimum which is just under 100 so I will probably not start adding people just to add them. I'm sure it would seem silly afterwards.And it's true, if you add the vendors, you only lose half! I don't think we'll be under but just in case of anything happening last minute.

We are a little below our minimum, but with the vendors we pretty much break even! If you want to keep it small, then don't invite anyone else.

Btw, for those waiting on RSVPs--- I put up a FB status on April 1st how everyone has 20 days to get their RSVPs in and 20 days before I behead anyone who does not get them in in a timely manner and it totally worked! 4 RSVPs yesterday and 3 came in the mail today!
