So my wedding is in 23 days. YAY! But I'm getting really sorta bummed at the number of declines. I had 140 on my guest list. I knew that about 40 of those people honestly didn't have the means to make it to the wedding. So I prepared myself for quite a few declines. But so far only 50 people have RSVPed yes. I still have 72 guests uncounted for but being my wedding is out of state most of our guest should know by now if they are coming.

So out of curiosity how many people did y'all invite and how many of those attended.

I only invited 57 ( which I knew some wont show up, actually good for me since my package is for 50 or less people ), so I wonder how many will actually show up. Everyone including myself and FH are all OOT guests, so we'll see.

We got married only about 45 minutes away from our city we lived in, but we had 75 RSVP and had 17 no shows.. So total of about 57 came and 11 of that was our wedding party.. But it was still pretty and very intimate, I got to mingle with everyone and new who all was there..
