Fear - No One Comes

Ha, Marilyn... I was thinking the same thing- I am scared EVERYONE will come. We cannot have more than 200 people there, and we already sent save the dates to 206... and fh asked to add more and more people to the invite list by the day! We are always arguing about who can come, and it stresses me out beyond belief!

This is my biggest wedding-related fear. but i know some people will show up like parents and siblings, but the rest im just praying.

Yeah, I feel the same way! It's hard to say how many will show....don't want to be too over and too under the amount of guests wanted/needed!! Damn this causes me anxiety and stress!! Lordy ...lol. But its exciting to find out! Those that LOVE YOU wouldn't miss your wedding day for the world so in that alone you should find comforting and a relief. Those that matter will be there. If they don't show up & have no good reasons...then bye bye bye. There will always be people on your list that won't come anyway but either you, your FH or family felt they had to do the right thing and invite him/her anyways....the frustrating part would be the slackers that havent sent in their NO already which causes extra anxiety. Ive come to the terms that people are actually F'd Up. LOL. Send back the damn rsvp already whether its a yes or no either way! Be courteous to others.

For me it just matters that my closest family shows. I know that other people might be busy or have other obligations that they can not get out of. I won't take it personally if people can't make it unless they just decide to not RSVP and to ignore me when I try to find out if they are coming lol

I have been having the same feeling ... most of my guest have to come from out of town ... but my fiance says as long as he & I & the pastor are there it's perfect ... The ones who do show will be the one's who really care i guess /=

I understand the feeling and I had overcome the fear of "what if no one comes". We sent out almost 80 addresses. What hurts me the most is my own family are not coming, only my immediately family such as parents, aunt, a cousin. Only 8 people on a table. 4 tables of our friends. One table of his family. I look at it and realize that they are only ones that care and love us. That is all it matters. The family from the further sides have their own lives and we don't see them much or less.

Confirmed: 61 guests so far and we are happy with the numbers.

It sounds awful, but i will be MORE than relieved if about 20% of our guest list doesn't come
