Well I got my guest list done.
Or so I thought.
Our wedding venue says they can "accommodate up to 200 people". I assume that's our maximum. I took into account that maybe 10% would decline being able to come, so inviting 220 people.
Well. My mother decided yesterday that she had 20 people to add to the list. "Well they were part of your childhood so they should be invited." 1) I wasn't invited to any of their weddings. 2) they're mostly her friends, not mine. 3) I haven't spoken to or seen them in YEARS.
And then she says "well you don't have to make a B-list, don't cut anyone out. Just invite everyone, I'm sure you'll get more than 10% declines. That's just a bogus average."
90% of our guest list live within 1.5 hours from our venue. We see most of them regularly, and the ones we don't see are extended family.
I just generally don't know what to do at this point. I've used the seating map and CAN fit 226 if need be. But I don't know if the venue would even allow it.
