Sarah, I think we're going to have to take that kind of line - especially for guests who we've been previously told it's OK not to invite ;)<br /><br />Little Spoon, nice way of capturing the frustrations :)Big Spoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08178572971552804598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5048090213085962247.post-59354301299821492072010-04-08T21:12:49.429-05:002010-04-08T21:12:49.429-05:00We've invited 165 and are hoping for only 100....We've invited 165 and are hoping for only 100. I was told by my coordinator to only expect 2/3rds of the list. That's the rule of thumb. So if you invite more it should be okay. Especially if they are out-of-town guests! That cuts the list back a lot. Many can't afford to travel and vacation in this rocky economy.<br /><br />Good luck! It will be okay to invite more than you can have!Mrs Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04021207575638623966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5048090213085962247.post-31797610293120786642010-04-06T16:50:05.089-05:002010-04-06T16:50:05.089-05:00Oh, I feel ya!

Every time I turned around there were more people being added to the list. Finally, I said enough. I am sure some people's feelings got hurt, but we are all on a budget, right?! :)<br /><br />As far as the invites vs guarantees, I would say 60-70% of the invites show up. I invited 200, had 158 RSVP and I think about 150 actually showed up - there are always things that come up! :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804109589417429169noreply@blogger.com
