Scared no one will come

I'm sure people will be there. Negative RSVPs are a real bummer, but hang in there! The 'yes' responses will be coming in soon! You will have a beautiful day surrounded by people you love and who love you.

I know how you feel. One of my best friends from back home told me she couldn't come. Her husband had bought tickets to an event the same day not knowing it was my wedding.

People will definitely come, don't worry! We just got our first "no" rsvp and it was a bit of a bummer, but there will be plenty of other people we care about there! You're going to have so much fun at your wedding with the people who DO go that you won't even have time to miss the people who aren't there too much

Thank you! <3

This is perfectly normal. I think most brides get anxious at least once and start wondering "what if no one comes?" Is it a possibility? Yes, of course. But it's unlikely.

I had a destination wedding in the mountains one week before Christmas. No one was local. Only 10 family members were invited. Everyone else was friends and I worried that no one would want to pay for airline tickets or drive in the snowy mountains before a major holiday to celebrate with us. I got myself mentally prepared, even after we got our RSVPs. On the day of, we had a big snowstorm and the temperature was below 0 in blizzard like conditions. I thought that pretty much sealed the fate of my wedding. Those flying in may be stranded unless they came the night before (which some did, so I knew they'd be there) and those driving wouldn't want to brave the winding mountain roads in snow and ice. But I was wrong. More than 90 people were there and only a handful couldn't make it because of weather.

People will absolutely come! Don't stress. I understand being upset if a good friend can't make it, but plenty more people will be there and you will have a wonderful day! You picked a great date, date twin!

It will be fine! And the day of you will be happy even if not everyone came. We invited 160. 138 replied yes and 129 ended up actually showing up. And it took us a few days to even realize who the nine were that didn't come that rsvp'd yes. Your wedding day is so busy and fun. You will be so happy even if some people don't come.

People will come! People love weddings!

You are not alone in feeling this way. It has really been hard to get some of the no's. I try to remember for recognize and be grateful for each yes, instead!

Why isn't your FH inviting anyone on his side? I don't mean to pry but at my first wedding my ex didn't invite a single guest so we only had 20 people show up to our wedding. In hindsight this should have been a red flag for me. I hope this isn't the case for you.

Dont feel bad. Normally when I throw a party. No one shows. And I mean no one. I'm feeling extremely anxious about having a wedding and being afraid no one shows up. Even my BP I'm afraid everyone will back out and I'm left with no one.

You definitely have company with that fear. We are having a small intimate wedding and the same thought has crossed my mind. I've been trying to push it away. Let's try not to worry about the things we can not control and remember our weddings will be beautiful and special with our loved one there.

I had the same fears. It looks like we're going to have about 81 out of 86 invited guests.

I hear you, OP. That's a big fear for me too. Not only do I have a long history of people not showing up for me (and feeling like I don't exist, etc), but i also live 1400 miles from my whole family, so it's a DW for everyone on my list. I have to keep reminding myself that people will come- and to focus on those who do show up instead of being disappointed with who didn't. Hope it all goes well for you!!

@Mrs. Librarian , no not really a problem to me. We are having a small ceremony with my FH small family. But that is in another state.We are older (37,40) his parents have passed away.

He has some friends (3 decent ones) but everyone has kids, (they are busy people) he doesn't think it's worth asking them.

The reception is for my family.

So yea , I will be happy with who ever shows up.

We will all get through this!

Thanks so much for the support , I don't feel alone anymore.

People will be there. I doubt your family/friends who are where the venue is will miss your wedding.

People will show up and you are going to have an amazing day

Both FH and I moved to a different state from where we grew up. We now live near his father's side of his family while his mother's side and my entire family live in another state. We are having the wedding here, and I'm so worried people won't come (I've even had some family tell me already-2 years out- that they won't be able to make it). But FH and I decided that we will get married regardless, and whoever truly wants to be there will do their best to be here. What really matters is that you and FH are committing to each other.

Same boat. I've already prepared myself for all the No's. We moved to another state two years ago and I know people either can't make it due to finances/ age or just don't feel like spending money to come out here. Either way, we're going to have an amazing time with our close friends and family we know will come.
