18 days to go. Final numbers due to venue this week.
We aren't having a reception. We are having a small dinner. We are inviting only very close friends and very close family and have had to leave off many people that we would have loved to be there. It is a sit down dinner with a very carefully chosen seating chart. I've put a ton of time and effort into this.
It is a week past the RSVP date. I have called everyone on the list that did not RSVP (1/3rd!). I have 7 maybes. Waiting on work/school schedules, fine I get it. There is a high likelihood that they will get someone to cover. I don't mind it. However "my kid might have soccer practice but we won't know until the day of" isn't okay in my book. They want me to put them down as a yes and pay $75 per plate for them to maybe not show because they don't want someone else to drive their 13 year old to soccer (they have a babysitter for the other two kids).
Anyone else having these issues? Regretting their invites?
