Don't let your FI have his way on this one, it will be a disaster!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/fiancee-invitation-nightmare-any-tips#post-3214888 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 21:16:22 +0000 NDBee 3214888@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Oooh, be wary of inviting everyone that 'for sure won't come. They'll come. Believe me, our guest list of 580 people with so many that 'for sure won't come' is already at a 300 accepted list and we're waiting on about 150 more people...only invite those that you for sure want there and can afford to accommodate. Then move out from there as you get declines back.</p>
