Josh's Girl, on August 26, 2012 at 3:50 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 27

    YES!! I've been semi freaking about this all week actually..

    Our guest list was 160 people, and we've only received confirmation that 50 people are coming from RSVP's. :/ They were due today. I'm giving them until the 1st, and then I'm calling people..

    Yes, I have that fear also. I am so ready for the wedding that I have plenty of time before I even mail out the invites. So I am already holding my breath that they will rsvp, and I haven't even sent them yet.

    Ahh yes that's like my #1 fear! We agreed to a minimum of 150 but it's a Sunday wedding so I'm terrified no one is going to show up! I barely know 200 people (although our parents keep insisting we will get up that high)

    If they don't come, then I spend less money on them! Lol. As long as they've RSVP'd no! Ha ha.

    I know it's coming. We invited 60, so I'm expecting 10 to actually show up, including the wedding party. Sigh.

    Yes! I go back and forth between being scared of no one coming and being afraid of everyone coming!

    I had this fear also. I just KNEW that only 10 or 15 people would show up, lol. I wonder why we do this to ourselves. I finally stopped caring about a week before the wedding. As long as hubby, me and the officiant was there, I would be fine. (at least, this is what I told myself, lol) But on the day of, nearly everyone we invited was there. WHEW! What a relief.

    Ha I am scared too many people will be there!

    If only twenty people come you will save on catering and still spend the most important day of your life with people that truly love you!

    If too many people come, you'll go over budget and spend it with people you don't even know... (this is my biggest wedding fear)

    I think most girls go through it..Personally I am. Been worrying that we're going over our guest limit and only to find out the day of that no one shows I'll be crying so much and it won't be tears of joy...

    I have the fear that too many people are going to show up. We have 270 to 280 on our guest list and the room only holds 250 and we put half the money down for 200 guests. So far I mailed out my invites last Monday and I have 58 yes and 7 no already.
