I went to a wedding recently that was from my best estimates a $60/ person reception. I noticed A LOT of empty seats (reception for 110 people and about 15 no shows) it was pretty noticeable. And a few people left before dinner was even served, it was like they just stopped by at a backyard picnic. Anyways my fiancé and I are scared that we are going up end up paying for a lot of food for people that don't show up. This is a second wedding for both of us and we are footing the bill for everything. I am trying to save everywhere possible and this would be really upsetting.
Does this happen a lot? I will be pretty irritated if we have the same numbers. For us that could mean the cost of a photographer, or a DJ. What is your experience? What advice would you have?
