Your numbers will probably go up. Unfortunately, it will mean you are likely to have to phone or otherwise contact all those people who were inconsiderate enough not to RSVP.
It seems to be more and more common for people not to take RSVP dates seriously.
Oh well, I guess its to be expected in ourits all about me society.
Yes, maybe so. FI also said that he isn't sure that some of his friends with kids, don't know that when something is addressed to only a couple that the children aren't invited. I suppose at least with the 14 person leway, if they bring their kids we are still ok...

P.S. Aren't those going to be fun phone calls to make... me... calling mostly his guests lol
I think small, intimate weddings with family and close friends are wonderful. That said, I know it'd be nice to have people surrounding you on your big day. I'm sure lots of your guests will wait until the absolutely last minute to RSVP, but if they don't, is inviting a few of the people you weren't able to invite initially out of the question?
@ Emarie30 -
That was my thought too - hopefully be able to invite a few who were out of the question originally. The thing with that though is that both sides of my family are very... territorial? If one person from the one side of the family is invited then the other side wants one more, etc. Yes, this is only MY family that is doing this. Or, if we invite some more of FI's family or something, I'm sure my family will squawk about that too. Hopefully the people we invited will come and all will be ok. I'm just the nervous bride who is, well, pretty much on edge right now.
@ Regina -
Technically, yes, he could. But, do I think he will? Not really. :)
@Bella Luna: What's the saying? If you want something done right, do it yourself? Lol... good luck :)

Ok, so here goes (the long and the short of it).
We had to invite only grandparents, some friends (their bfs or gfs/spouses), parents, and siblings because when we got to the aunts/uncles level it got out of control - fast. Inviting aunts and uncles alone it gets to about 31 extra people, but then a lot of them have young children that they will not come without, which balloons the number even further. We did invite some co-workers, the president of FI's company (who is also a friend of his), etc. Our after party location can hold up to about 56 people comfortably. The problem is this - we have a total of 42 people total including me and FI. That's 14 under total which is probably better considering we'd have more room for cake, speeches and a little dancing. The issue is that we only have 22 of 42 accepted! That's only a little more than half, and that includes our parents, the two of us, one bridesmaid +1 and the best man + 1! I feel like our wedding will be so small that we might as well elope. It'll basically be us and grandparents? I don't know. I am more than stressing about this at this point - the RSVP date is on Monday.
... thoughts?
Thanks,
Bella
