    That’s still a pretty good turnout.

    Hi there!


    We are having 71 guests! We invited 80 so we are extremely happy with that number!

    We're inviting 120 but with covid we'll probably have around 60 I would guess. Feels like a nice number where I can still talk to everyone but also feel like it's an actual celebration.

    Today is our RSVP deadline that we put on our invitations. Our wedding is October 30th.

    We invited 130 and so far only 50 have confirmed attending, 34 have declined and 42 haven't responded. I'm feeling kind of defeated actually. I at least expected 75 to confirm.

    Covid is making wedding planning depressing.

    I couldn’t see myself paying for people who we hardly talk to.

    Weddings are so expensive. While we were Cognizant that most of the money spent is largely dependent upon how many guests we invite. We agreed that we want this to feel intimate and magical and in that circumstance (for us) less is more, as it pertains to guest count.

    We aren’t having a bridal party either!! We’re people asking why? We had so many people asking us why we chose not to have a bridal party.
