Our final numbers and final payment is due Friday. I don't know about anyone else but its is refreshing to get declines from guest LOL.

Our final numbers and final payment is due Friday. I don't know about anyone else but its is refreshing to get declines from guest LOL. Even though I would love everyone that we invited to attend I love seeing the numbers decrease. I say this to say is we are about two weeks away from the wedding so my fiance and I have be calling/texting to make sure those who RSVP accept, were still attending. However, after reaching out we have found out that 4 guest are unavailable to attend.

I would suggest for you all to do the same before you submit your final numbers. I thought this may be tacky but I really dont want to pay $30 a plate for guests who are not going to show, I just rather save money ahead of time.

    My brother just got married this past weekend and had 140 guests RSVP yes. They had 32 no shows, so I will definitely be doing this!

    OMG WOW 32!!!! I hate to say but I would be so upset. I understand that things happen unexpectedly but that's a large number and I am pretty sure your bother and his now wife could have saved a pretty penny on those guests.

    Oh man! I'm not quite there yet. I'm about to send my invites out. I would love a small crowd too! Although it certainly adds up fast and I'd love to save money, it's mostly because I'm really nervous. 50 people sounds way easier to handle than 75.

    Oh wow. We invited 150 and at first got a few declines and as of now we have 136 guest and 5 of them are children who are participating in the wedding. I am truly happy about this number.
