We invited 280 and only 33 people said NO our guest count is 247!! I'm semi freaking out over this I was hoping for 210! Thats only 12%!!

It's so hard to tell - we invited 283 and 203 was our final count. We had one no show.

I know I remember even telling my fiance that you invited that many and 203 came! thinking we'd be in the same boat!
