How many RSVPs Yes's did you have? We are sending 148 invites (maybe 40 out of town) expecting maybe 125-130 YES's. Does that seem about right? Sending out the invites next week!!

We are getting ready to send out invitations soon! We are inviting 148 or so. Maybe a quarter from out of town. How many YES vs NO do you think we will get?? I'm guessing 125-130 will be. YES. Place...

I am not sure the level of stress I'm having is normal. I thought wedding planning would be much more fun, but it's just so much work! My mom lives out of state and my fiancé hasn't had much interest,...
