We had 10. I heard from all but 2. One sent me a text the morning of the wedding ;/
We did not have any no shows, however...we had a good family friend (in her 50's and very well to do) RSVP'd yes and chose the most expensive dinner plate (beef tenderloin). She came to our ceremony and came to the reception, however, she left right before dinner even served and no gift from her. My family hasnt talked to her since but we are really peeved about it. She is not the type to just leave and not explain...my parents are actually going on vacation with them this weekend so it will be interesting...
I had 3. 2 of them gave me a reason, which I know is valid: 1 was sick and she was the ride for the other person. The third... I think is b/c he didn't get a +1. He asked me like a week before the wedding b/c he "finally found somebody to go with him" and I told him we were pretty much full, and that nobody else from his group had +1s unless they were married. He even asked my FIs friend to "talk to us" and see if we could get him +1 after I already told him no.
It irks me a little, but only when I'm reminded by a thread like this, so I guess it's no biggie :-)
I had 6 no shows and no calls, I am like wow!! but the important thing like my husband said was were married it didnt make a difference who didnt show we were still getting married
We had two no-shows, both were explained AT the event itself. (One with sick kids, one with family drama.)
Not a big deal I guess, but sucks because we could've invited a few other people if we'd had a bit more notice. Ah well.
We had 2, but they had called me a week in advance and I was able to let 2 other guests bring plus ones.
I had 3, still annoyed about it. Still have resentment towards the person who didn’t come (who said she was bringing two guests) So far no explanation so I consider that friendship over with.
We had three, but they were my cousins who are in college and I think don't understand how much it throws stuff off. Not too bad!
I had about twenty (including two of my sisters), but I wasn't actually surprised.
oh geez.....we had about 13 no shows. and yeah i havent heard a word from them!
i had 15-20
seriously.
3 of them had a legit reason not to come... the rest..... no word.
We had two no shows.. but we knew in advance that they probably weren't going to be able to come due to health reasons (it was close family so we would rather pay to possible have them there, then not have them there at all).
We had 20 just on my side alone who were no shows and was my brother and his family. Big shocker there
After final numbers were due, I had 7 people tell me they couldn't make it. I was able to fill 5 of those seats. An additional 2 didn't make it the day of, including my husband's cousin's "guest" (she filled in "and guest" on her RSVP card, when she wasn't even invited with a guest!) Annoying, but still 4 isn't horrible.
I only know of one on my side...not even sure about the rest. But we did have 5 people leave before dinner on rehearsal dinner night which was really annoying. Also not a word from my one no show...she even texted me 4 days before saying she couldn't wait. And I know she is fine because she is posting on facebook about stuff.....so the question is....is anyone going to say anything to the no shows?? I'm really tempted to just ask her what the H happened to her....
I had 14 no shows. 11 are from the same family and did the same thing when my brother got married last fall. I don't care if you don't want to come, but do not RSVP yes and then not show up! 2 of them, my aunt and uncle, claim they were never invited, even though I have an RSVP with their names written on it in my aunt's handwriting saying "Yes, 2 of us will be there." Needless to say, these 11 people will not be invited to my sister's wedding next summer.
One of the other no shows, one of my mom's friends, called my mom's house the next weekend asking if we needed her to come early to help set up for the wedding, which was in my parent's back yard. She felt awful when my mom informed her that it was the previous weekend.
We had 9. I also had some pretty last minute cancellations. Most of the no-shows were from DH's extended family. One had to go to the hospital or something, and because of that, a bunch of the others didn't show up. 2 were my parent's friends. Their son who lives 3 hours away was in town, so they decided to spend time with him instead. Not super impressed with them (nor were my parents), another guest who's husband recently died was supposed to be sitting with them as it was really hard for her to come and she didn't know a lot of people. At least those no shows gave a really nice gift, we haven't received anything yet from the other no-shows.

Hi June Bees! Congrats to everyone who got married and to those who are still getting married this month!
How many No-Shows did you have at your wedding. We had 2 and they still haven't said anything yet.
