WHen the HELL did my guest list get to be so big??!! (VENT)

We have 161 people coming so far - it might get up to 165! My budget was for 120! I could KILL my family, and FI's family - We just had to keep inviting people, and inviting people, and people they thought would definetely say no are saying yes, and everyone's being cagey about finding the MONEY for these extra 45 people!

I RAN OUT OF INVITES, and had to MAKE NEW ONES. And FI's mom would be like - why didn't you just mail so and so's invite out, what's taking so long? And we're answer - because we have to MAKE EACH ONE BRAND NEW!

And we have to have 3-4 more centerpieces, and 20+ more favors.

Just shoot me please.

I can see why you have so many icons. I have no advice, but I'm sorry your guest list has gotten so big. I'd be fuming too.

We budgeted for 150 and ended up with 125.

I wish I had extra people. We're really sad because no one can/no one wants to make it to the wedding

We are like 30+ over so I can feel your pain too. But its nice to know you are loved. Everyone tells us we get extra gifts but honestly I would rather have saved the $$$.
