Really just need to vent... Spent $10,000 on a 25 person wedding

I am. I was just talking to my FH and it's just awful. I HATE EVERYBODY. Why they would think it's okay to tell someone you'll come and than not is beyond me.

Oh man, that is awful, you still have a few weeks left maybe they will change their mind. I am sorry so many people have let you down. No matter at the end of the day you and your FH will be married.

I would be beyond pissed. If you canceled, do you get anything back? Maybe it's best to take the money and elope somewhere amazing.

How much would you have to pay in cancelations fee's to the venue? I would contact all of your vendors and let them know the situation. At least some of them have to be able to cut down the amount of food/flowers etc. The main reason people won't change the price/amount is because your date is so close and they have already ordered items or reserved the space.

Do what you can to make the best out of the situation. I would also be very upset also if I were you. Can you try letting people have extra plus ones or invite people that originally weren't on the list?

That is the worst. I'm sorry!

Where are you? I am sure some of us would show up and be nice guests too.

Im so sorry. You have every right to feel upset. Do you have a B-List of guests...maybe coworkers that you wouldnt mind sharing in your day? Also is there a way for the venue to let you upgrade the meals, bar etc to the current number of guests? That way you are still spending the money or meeting the minimums contracted.

I feel for you, this is just horrible. I agree with Briggitte, see if the vendors will work with you.

I'd be pissed too. Can you upgrade food/bar/linens/ or invite me?

This makes me so sad. We'll come!

Your all invited. Every single one of you.

Las Vegas - come

The venue said they will add another "appetizer". What the heck am I going to do with an extra appetizer please give my $5000 dollars extra I had to pay. Haha.

The venue is all inclusive, that was their deal to me.

I feel bad to cancel cause those who are coming are flying and such.

Party in Vegas!

Seriously, that totally sucks

I'm so sorry! I've said it before and so have other people on here.. you truly find out who is really there for you when planning a wedding. It's bad enough that they aren't coming, but to say they are and then decide not to.. that's not fair. It's just rude. Thats a lot of wasted money. You have a right to be upset.

Try to focus on the wonderful people that are going to be there though, who love you and your FH.. and focus on the fact that no matter what happens at the end of the day you will have a husband.

I'm so sorry! I was upset when the few people I invited (we invited 104; only 25 were mine.) Didn't show up - including cousin and friends I've grown up with. It hurt deeply, and I'm still really sad.

I hope that despite everything, you have a wonderful and beautiful day filled with love and happiness!

Aw man I'm sorry... I would be SO upset. That's really crappy of your friends...

Posts like this make me feel awful for complaining that practically no one's declined our wedding.

I agree with Celia; see if they'll let you upgrade everything under the sun to make up for not meeting the minimum. Might as well reward these 25 awesome people in your life!

I feel like I am bothering them. I am going to call right now.

Also, we invited an additional 70 or so people and still nothing. Everyone has an excuse.

Oh My God I am sooo sorry you are going through this. I wiould def be Livid as well. well now is the time to invite people on the B list and C list. co workers, friends at the gym, church and other acquintances that you thought about inviting before. I can never understand why people say they will show up and dont. I never do that. If I am not going to come I will just say I can't make it. Wow. so sorry about this. don't cancel but down grade. allow people to crash, invite people to bring plus 2s kids, I am sure you will get more people to come. is this a destination wedding or do you live in vegas?

Soon to B. That is the best part of all this. You are getting married to a wonderful man and you will live happily ever after. The people that are coming will enjoy themselves and you two will be able to visit with everyone and not be rushed.

Upgrade Upgrade Upgrade.

Maybe they will make some late appetizers for you too.

We actually had some of the grooms family calling to say they were/were not coming just a couple hours before daughters wedding. We had plenty of food. The one that was coming was the grooms brother who showed for the wedding and left. The ones who were not coming which was many of them who called two hours before were family/friends.

It was interesting to us. Our whole side was out of state and out of country and they all showed.

Just have a great time. Don't worry about the people who are not coming, enjoy the people who are.
