    You are not a loser! Please remember that. Try to focus on the people that will be there to celebrate with you!

    You’re not a loser!! What matters is you and your FH! At the end of the day it’s your love and happiness that matter! Those who care and love you will be there and that’s all you need!

    Don't feel bad 😊. Last minute additions are ok! We totally attended a wedding with less than a few weeks notice. It was local and we were not offended at all to be on the B list.

    Don’t feel like a loser! Over 120 rsvp’d no to our wedding, but at the end of the day it’s about you and your fiancé getting married.

    I agree With every previous poster. Be happy you are marrying the love of your life. If they are not there it is not just because they do not want to be im Sure.

    How many people are coming to your wedding? And how many people did you want to attend in total? I had a lot of people tell me they don’t want to go to my wedding due to it being far (they were trying to get me to move the wedding closer to my hometown instead of where I live now I told them that’s fine that’s their choice but most people RSVP yes and they actually came. My cousin told me if they love you they will try their best to come if they don’t love you you don’t need them there freeloading. I’m not sure what your preferred guest amount is but dreaming of my big day I wanted somewhere around 150 at least so I can feel loved but I soon realized budget wise that’s not smart and why would I spend so much money on people I don’t even interact with that much. We had a small intimate wedding of about 70 people and loved it!!

    No way are you a loser. Maybe the date chosen, is a difficult time for travel if your invited people are far away. There may also have been plans set for that time frame. When is your wedding? You can always throw a party or less formal affair at a earlier or later date. Don't get down and sad queen!

    You are not a loser! Keeping your circle small sometimes is a good thing I have a large family, but my friends circle is very tight knit. Do not feel like a loser there’s nothing wrong with having a smaller intimate wedding.

    Your not a loser! Remember this smaller is more intimate, the most important people in your lives will be there, it’ll give you more time to spend with all of those people at your wedding and. . .it’ll be a lot less money you have to spend! Who doesn’t love that?!

    I agree with the other comments, the smaller the more intimate your wedding day will be. That will lead you to remember how wonderful it felt and that you weren’t too overwhelmed with having to speak to every person that evening.

    You are definitely not a loser! Please don’t let RSVP count determine your worth. There could be tons of reasons that people cannot attend. At the end, you are marrying the love of ur life.

    All together my fiancé and I will have 25 people, including ourselves and our children, at our wedding. And we are okay with that. Makes it more intimate, in my opinion.

    You're not a loser! You have quality relationships instead of a quantity of them. 😉
    I couldn't name 50 people either my fiance's family filled most of the list if he had a smaller family it'd probably a much shorter list

    We invited 120 and only had 50 people come. It was actually a lot of fun and much more intimate!

    It's the quality not quantity girl! It will be amazing either way. You are not a loser.

    Hun you’re not a loser, I’m only having 30! I didn’t cut the guest list, 30 people is all I know. Not everyone has huge families or tons of friends, the people you do invite want to be there because they love you.

    Omg please don't feel that way! There are many reasons why people can't attend a wedding and most of those reasons aren't personal. It could be the location, the date, time of year, etc. The way I see it, those who deserve to be there, will be. Those who truly love and support you both will be there for you no matter what, and those are the ones who matter the most. I expect a good amount of declines because our venue is an hour or more away from where most of us live, but I'm not stressing. It's all about you and your future partner! You are going to have an amazing day because you are marrying the love of your life Smiley heart

    Your not a looser. You invite who you and your fiance want to invite. Does it have to add up to 50.

    This post makes me sad...

    Don't feel like a loser. You're not. Is it that you've invited people and a lot of people are rsvping no? If so, don't worry. Those who attend your wedding will make the occasion extra special. And you'll feel happy knowing that those who love you both have taken the time to support and witness your happy day. FH and I will be inviting around 123 people (quite a number of people on this list we're secretly hoping don't show up) and I wouldn't mind much if the number of people go down at all. Admittedly, I may feel a bit slighted (depending on who it is) but in general, I'll be content with knowing that those who did show up love us and wanted to be there. Wishing the best for you. Weddings can be stressful and I think the #2 biggest concern besides fiances is the guest list. It frustrates us. Don't let it get to you. Think about the happy day just around the cornerSmiley heart
