Wedding Finances FREAKOUT!

Sooo our wedding guest list has magically ballooned to 230 guests over the past year (started at like 180) because all of the d@mn +1 guests FMIL has added....arghhhh!!!!

We guaranteed 140...were HOPING for 150....and now based on preliminary count (from recent e-mails and the size of our hotel block) we are currently looking at 200 YES's!!! F M L!!!! We are paying for this basically ourselves and at $170 per head (with tax/gratuity) this is costing SIGNIFICANTLY more than we originally budgeted!!!

I'm kicking myself for having sent out our STDs so damn early!!!! And of course freaking out about how we are going to come up with all this money in the next 4 months!!!

Everyone told us with a holiday weekend and at least 50% of our guests OOT, we should expect 25-30% NO's....welll guess what, if these numbers hold up ours will be 14%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
