Hey ladies!! So i need some insight. I did the dumbest thing i could do and invited 255 people to my wedding at a venue that only seats 200- no wiggle room- i know that was my bad but i was told by everyone to only expect 60-70% to show up... anyways, my wedding day isn't until January 2nd (keep in...

Hey ladies!!

So i need some insight. I did the dumbest thing i could do and invited 255 people to my wedding at a venue that only seats 200- no wiggle room- i know that was my bad but i was told by everyone to only expect 60-70% to show up... anyways, my wedding day isn't until January 2nd (keep in mind the close-ness to the holiday and people will be traveling) but i need to know what you would do! I have already sent out STD's- not actual invites but still. I read that now they say you should expect 80% of your guests to show- which is like 204 people- which i could role with- but I'm terrified more will show up! since its so close to a holiday and there is bad weather here in Idaho at that time, do you think more people will show?! help me! haha

thanks!

    Know you're family. If you are confident that 25% won't show, don't stress.

    And after sending out STD's, we had about 10 people tell us they couldn't come before invites even went out.

    So it actually will all work out! we did a little re-evaluating.. it was a logistical "where would we put them?" problem.. we wouldn't be breaking the contract adding more. Anyways- I forgot to add in my wedding party so the venue holds 216 seated. and then we went back very carefully through the list and were able to cross off 35 people we know won't come, and now we need only 10 people to decline! so we are actually all good! thanks for the help!!

    Cross off meaning they will still get invited Smiley smile we just know they won't come so we are no longer planning on them attending
