Warning......

Just to give some advice. I have heard from friends, family members, LIW ladies about 20% don't come to the wedding. Just to give everyone a word of adivce, don't totally BET on it. We are running at 99% acceptance rate and our RSVP date is on the 11th! It is crazy! Here is to a massive wedding

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

***Did I mention we wanted a small wedding

Re: Warning......

we're only at about a 50% acceptance rate and our RSVP date is week from today. we've already met our minimum so if we end up with around 120-150 thats fine with me. we budgeted for 200 so hoepfully we'll have extra $$$$.

Re: Warning......

LOL, I would love to have that percentage, but my Dad will probably pass out! LOL

We too budgeted for 200, but we hope for like 150.

Re: Warning......

Holy cow!!! I am sure you'll have a blast though!
We had the opposite! But the majority of our guests were OOTers..

217 invited
110 at the wedding and a few last minute 'no's'

But i was really happy cause i wanted a smaller wedding too...guess it all depends on your guests...so much for that 20%!!

Re: Warning......

OMG---I'm PRAYING for that 20% (or at least 10-15%) We invited the maximum capacity! I'm scared now

But- here's to your BIG and BEAUTIFUL wedding!

Re: Warning......

Our RSVP date was Saturday and we did not meet our minimum. I am going crazy, our minimum is 225 and we have 214. So we are 11 people short. The problem is FH family, we got a lot more 'No's' than we expected. I thought we would of been 25 people over our minimum.

Re: Warning......

I am totally with you on this!! So far we have received 50 responses...ALL yes! And this includes people we were SURE would be saying no. And the rest of the responses we are waiting on....are pretty much definite yeses! Freaking out!

Re: Warning......

I can relate. We have a 95% acceptance rate. Which is bad, because we will have more people than chairs if it stays that way!

Re: Warning......

wow!!! 99%!!!! so far a lot of people have verbally told me they're coming....but until I get that card back, ya never know!! I hope I don't have 99%!!
