We had 2 people no-show, because they were sick. Their spouses still came.
Definitely watching this thread! =D I too am curious!
We invited somewhere around 68 people, we ended up with 50 on the dot including ourselves and wedding party. One couple bailed last minute (but notified me) because the guy ended up having to work after all, and everyone else showed up as expected.
We had 148 yes rsvps and a a family of 4 was the only one that cancelled last minute - family emergency. No no shows that just didnt come with no notification
Out of 102 yesses we had two no shows. Both due to illness, one brought a friend instead and the other spot we filled with a friends college age daughter at the last second.
Our acceptance rate was about 66% (destination wedding for over half our guest list)
I think we only had one no show. I did a seating board because I didn't want to look at a card table and be aggravated that people didn't come but after looking at all of the people that were supposed to be there, I only know of one that didn't come.
I had about 123 people RSVP yes. I know at least 12 people no showed.
@yrret107: Wow, that's crazy. Did they call you ahead of time or give you any sort of warning ... or just didn't show up?
We invited 92. 75 RSVP'd yes. My friend and her boyfriend had to cancel about a week before the wedding, so that brought us down to 73, which is the final number I gave to our caterer 3 days out, and what we paid for. But on the day of 15 MEMBERS of my husband's family who had RSVP'd yes did not show. It didn't bother me then, but the day after we were talking about it and I was pretty ticked. I don't care if you don't come, but don't SAY you'll come and then not come! It was basically 2 full empty tables and 15 wasted dinners paid for. And what really got me was some of these were some people we had not even invited but who heard about the wedding and told my MIL they were coming, so we added them, and THEY DID NOT SHOW UP! What flakes.
I invited 40 I think? I had 34 RSVP yes and everyone came. This might be a bigger problem for bigger weddings.
I knew about 7 of the no shows. (BM was sick and for some reason her husband didn't want to come anymore. Another BM had an 'car accident' and her husband and her 3 kids now couldn't come. I would have offered to pay for a rental car but she didn't even try. Whatever! It was nice knowing you!) My parents knew that one couple wasn't going to come, so they asked two family friends to come instead. I was pissed for a second that no one told me but I guess at least the food didn't go to waste. I do remember seeing them and wondering hmm, I invited them??? My parents told me after the wedding that they did. I wasn't too pissed though considering all of the other no shows.
Oh, I recounted. I know of 13 people who no-showed. As for DH's family, I don't know. Number might be more.
Yeah, no-shows alone wasted about $800.
I get ESPECIALLY aggravated with the no shows who are married and had a wedding because they KNOW how infuriating it is to have someone say they'll come and not come and mess up seating and waste tons of money!
I would say about 20-30 people didn't show..but beings the party was on the beach.. we had wedding crashers....wich we welcomed with open arms ... we told them to stay away from the presents..and we are all good
I am pretty sure there will be no "no shows" at our wedding as it is destination and people will be losing out on a bunch of money themselves if they do that.
Invited almost 90 and had ~80 RSVP yes... ended up with 15 no shows. Yes, 15. A few had health situations (older family), one had a travel circumstance. One had a really, really lame excuse, and one family of 5 gave no reason. They just "couldn't make it." Uh huh.
out of 190 we had 10 no shows. with no phone calls or anything for why they didnt come. which irks me a little bit because we had a seated dinner and had to pay for them. a phone call or i'm sorry would have been nice. some people.....
We invited 150 people, had 134 rsvp's and two no-shows. We had a formal sit-down dinner. We paid for the dinner (of course) but I have heard of a few weddings were the guests had to pay for their meal. Probably a lot less no-shows, but also a lot less RSVP's with this option.
about 25 for us :(
10 of them (including my flower girl and her mom) is due to sickness.
@Julesb81: I feel you! We have quite a few people that didn't show but also didn't let us know ahead of time. So inconsiderate. Most of them are my husband's friends. I asked him if their lack of consideration change his perspective of them, he said no (I am shocked! It changes my perspective of them)
63 people invited, 8 no shows, no calls whatsoever. Two of the no shows are a couple that actually had the balls to ask for an invite, then didn't come. Rude all around. One of the no shows was DH's best man. Yeah, we have awesome friends.
Oh my god i'm so paranoid we have like a month to go and I'm so worried about all the no shows, people are already starting to annoy me with all their drama of not wanting to sit beside so and so etc etc
We had 7 no shows who rsvp yes, the package was inclusive (unless we went way over) so I wasn't too pissed. However, it was all family! My friends who were there are more of a family then those that didn't show anyway!
This is crazy!! I'm so worried about no shows because I still have to pay for them! Ugh! I hope we don't have too many.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
I've seen a lot of posts with Bees trying to estimate how many of their guest list will be attending their wedding. We finally have our final numbers and I'm a bit surprised. Out of 133 invites sent (equals approx. 245 guests), we have a solid 200 people that have RSVP'd yes (I was expecting 175). That is pretty close to the typical 80% acceptance rate, but now I'm curious.
How many people did you have RSVP yes to your wedding? And how many of those ended up being no shows?
We are at full capacity but do have seating and food/drinks for everyone. I guess I'm just hoping still that a few will be no shows to ease up the space a bit.
