So I know destination weddings are always a gamble with out-of-town guests but we had 2 couples that would have totally come but are pregnant and due too close to travel, which was a bummer but I've known about for months.

So I know destination weddings are always a gamble with out-of-town guests but we had 2 couples that would have totally come but are pregnant and due too close to travel, which was a bummer but I've known about for months. But now I've had another 4 people that had said yes but now can't come (1 for health reasons and the other had to spend their travel money on car repairs). Plus, to meet our minimum we invited another 3 couples from FHs work and they all said no. I know these things happen but I'm having a pity party today. I just never thought it would've been so hard to talk people into coming to my wedding!

    We had a couple people back out as well and I told my mom to invite her two friends.

    @Jenny, that's a great idea! Midnight munchies are usually a hit at weddings.

    We are getting married close to where we live. Family is back in Europe. Asked immediate family before we decided on here if they could travel and all said yes. Now fh two brothers are not coming because well they would rather spend their money on the other two vacations they've had already this year , I was upset over it but now I don't care. At least in your case it's reasons beyond the people's control as oppose to people being assholes. Focus on the people that are going it will be amazing
