starting to get REALLY nervous re: guestlist

ok, so we bit the bullet and invited our entire guest list, rather than putting 15 people on a 'b' list.... so we have about 290. so far, a week and a half after the invites went out.... we have about 85 yesses and 10 no's. we cannot fit more than 265 in our room at the hall we were really banking on that 20% decline.... or at LEAST 15%.... now i am freaking out!!! please tell me the no's will come!!!!!!!!!!

290???!!! And I was worried about my 175!!

We invited about 290 and we're having 235. Most of the people who respond right away tend to be 'yes' and the 'no' responses tend to come later on. You only need 15 more no responses and you'll be fine. Are there people who you don't think will come? We sent out a bunch of invites to relatives out of state whom we knew wouldn't come. I'm sure everything will work out.

that is the thing.... we dont have many oot guests, and of those we do, about 95% are guaranteed yesses. I would kill for 235!!!! of all our no's that we received thus far, only 1 person was a surprise!

you'll be fine, you might be over by a hair or two. No biggie!!!! I don't believe in a B list personally.

Sorry! I was just so worried about mine being too many! I think you'll be fine though. I know it's easy to say don't sweat it but I'm sure it'll be fine at the end.

from what I have seen, the no's come in last. you will get more no's, don't worry

yeah that is why we just sent them all out, we really wanted those people invited so so be it


thank you beautiful brides for your kind words... now one more thing..... just do a no dance for me!

I got all my yess first


the no's took much long (even pass the rsvp date )


out of my family people with thought were definate ended up being no's


a few even gave the 'cold weather' as a enxcuse (which i find ironic becaue it ended up being rather warm)

hth

ok...I am doing the dance of Joy but I am singing NO NO NO!!! I say it 15 times ok????
LOL!!!

Our list is 233. We gaurenteed 165. I am hoping for some No's too.

But everryone we invited is everyone we want to be there, so if they all show up, then so be it too!!!

girl....dont count on the 20%.....we invited 350....so far we have over 200 yes's and zero no's!!!!!!!!!!

In the end..the most we will have respond no will probably be about 6....

The no's will come at the end. I was worried too and I wound up with a lot less than expected. We invited 250, expected 210, and we wound up with 182. About a 28% decline rate.

---

I'd be happy with that.
182 is perfect!!!

OK Rosaria...this doesn't help Marie!


M - the no's WILL come...you'll get it...

this should make you feel better!

290 invites
if 10% say no = 261 guests (OK)
if 15% say no = 246.5 guests (Better - nevermind the half! )
if 20% say no = 232 guests (BEST!)

You'll be fine!
