    We're inviting 150 but will have 100 or less for sure. Everyone we're inviting is out of state and our wedding is a Friday so we fully expect a lot of declines.

    Very likely that we will be over. We invited 185 (!!!) But expect around 150 or so to show. We are awaiting lots of RSVPs but we have 12 nos so far. Still very likely that we will have over 127 though.

    I am inviting 50 Adults 17 kids. I need all of them to RSVP yes In order to meet my food and beverage minimum. Should I invite more people ? The 50 guest are close family and only a couple of friends from my husband side. I wanted to invite a couple of people but we don’t want to go above our budget if they all reply yes!
