We invited 162 and nearly 120 have accepted. It's totally freaking me out. We're ordering more chair covers this weekend.
Invited 116, have 85 attending. I am THRILLED - I was really hoping to be under 100 (for budget) and now feel like I will actually be able to spend quality time with my guests.
Right now I'm at 50 and am missing about 18 still (gggrrrrr, our deadline was 8/25!).
I'm going to starting bugging people on Monday.
@SanDiegoAli: you have so much more patience than I do! Our deadline was 8/24 and I was bugging people the very next day, lol.
The RSVP Deadline is tomorrow (I'm crazy) and I am having a hard time getting people to RSVP! So far 66 have confirmed, but we are expecting more than that. lol.
We invited 162 and only 107 are attending. Quite honestly, I'm really disappointed by how many people aren't coming, some of whom are *really* close friends. It's actually become a sore spot for me. Of the people we invited who are strictly my friends/family, only 44% are attending. Whereas I've attended all but one wedding to which I've been invited.
We estimated 150, invited 174. We ended up at 150 on the nose! When does that ever happen?! For a while I got really excited when I thought we might end up around 130-something, but that came and went ;)
Invited: 145
Attending: 115
Unable to attend: 33
Right yes that DOESN'T ad up to 145...hmm write-in much? Argh!
We invited 119 and 76 are coming. There are still a few RSVP's outstanding though, and they won't be able to tell us until closer to the date.
Still waiting on 2, but the counts are:
Invited: 75
Attending : 64
Invited 157
Declines 19
Accepts 137
Outstanding 1
and add in FI and me, two photographers, one dj and our officiant and her husband...
Grand total =145 if our outstanding guest accepts. Which is great, because max capacity is 150.

We had a bunch of OTG! Im so happy the # stayed close to 200. We def didn't want more than 250!!
We invited 126
101 RSVP'd yes
6 are still pending but the RSVP date has passed and I don't think they are coming. Its about what we expected, only a few surprise no's.
We invited 99 and have 69 coming. About what we were expecting, although not without a few surprise no's.
189 invited and 123 attending. It's a bit smaller than I thought and a few close friends are not attending. Despite that, I know that 123 is great number and we will have a blast on the wedding day!
We invited 202
162 Yes
and 10 outstanding. I'm counting them as No's.
We originally invited 310 but I freaked out 3 weeks before the RSVP deadline and invited 20 more people (the "B list") because I thought we were going to have a hard time hitting our minimum for the venue (200). Now we have 225 coming. If I hadn't invited the extra 20 we would have had 209, go figure!
Invited: 164
Total number: 122
I couldn't be happier with the number of people who are going to be there. I am really looking forward to the wedding.
Invited 147 and NO kids - ended up with 125. This includes 2 kids and 1 nanny. We are only waiting to hear back from 1 or 2 people. I'll take it. There was a point where I was getting really nervous we were going to exceed 130.
Invited: 162
Attending: 148 (with two more potentially, my cousin and his wife have had some snafus come up and won't be able to let us know until the week of the wedding ... I really really hope they are able to come)
All my RSVPs came in pretty well on time. 98% of the stragglers were my guests.
@redherring: I feel you! We invited around 150 and will have probably somewhere around 100 (still waiting on a few). 52 of the people invited were from my side. 19 are coming...yeah kinda makes me feel bad. Granted, some are too old to travel or from far away but it still makes me feel icky that like 20% of the guests will be from my side.
What are you guys doing about guests who refuse to give you an answer yet?? We have two guests who refuse to tell us whether they can attend or not because they're waiting to see if plane tickets to NYC get cheaper. Should we just tell them, "If we don't have an answer by the end of the week, we will assume you are not coming"? We don't actually have to let our venue know the final count til the 14th, but FI is so fed up with these people he almost just doesn't want them to attend at all.
I have been teling people that have been slow in responding that our caterer requires a final count way earlier than they really do. I just feel like if they arent family, they are keeping me/us for wrapping up final details. Thus, messing with my sanity. I would be able to start the table assignments and escort cards without them. Sounds harsh, but at this point...I would tell them that your caterer has given you Friday as the final day. That way you can cruise in to your weekend.
wedding is in 6 days and we just got our totals lol:
invited 163
attending 109!!
perfect since i wanted 100!
Final count: 56
Invited: 61
The only people NOT coming (other than the best man's girlfriend because she has to be away on business) are my half brother and his wife (Who seriously live less than an hour away) and my sister and her husband (who also live about an hour away) because although they knew for over 6 months that its child-free they claim they cant find sitters. I'm livid. SERIOUSLY? IS THIS REAL LIFE? I expected nos from some uncles or something but not my immediate family. My heart is broken =[
Not to mention my wedding is at 3pm with the reception immediatey following (in the same building no less!!!) and yet they can't get a sitter for 4 or 5 hours. they could be home before bedtime!
@hilsy85: Yeah I agree. I'd just tell them that you have to have a headcount for your caterer by a certain time. They need to figure out what they want to do.
Invited: 103
Coming: 70
Of those 70, # not actually invited: 3
Pick your battles, I guess. Shocking how oblivious people are!!
@hilsy85: I'm in the same boat. We're waiting on about 8 people. I've told all of them that we NEED their answer because we need to get the final numbers to the venue.
Ugh - people suck sometimes!
Invited: 292
Attending: 134
HUGE decline rate. My FI invited just over 130 of his friends and family and only 18 are attending! Most claim it is because it is an out of town wedding and this is his second wedding. It does sting, because it is my first wedding - but it is their loss.
The acceptance rate for my family and friends was near 90% so that pleases me.
Invited: 264Attending: 237
We actually didn't get as many No's as I thought we would since it's Labor Day weekend. It was a pleasant surprise - but we did have to run out & buy more favors over the weekend. LOL
@ hilsy - how did you do with the people who haven't sent in RSVP's? At first I blamed the printer - I said that a couple of the zip codes were wrong so I was just checking with people we hadn't heard back from in case they didn't get it. A tiny white lie (sometimes, we did have printer/zip code problems) and it sounds better than "Hey slacker, where's your RSVP" which I prob would've said. LOL
invited around 150, have about 130 coming!! good turn out! :)
I think we invited approximately 250 people and have about 140 attending. Pretty low response rate, but it's a Friday night, cocktail/hors d'oeuvres reception and 18+.
I know how you feel. I have my best friend since I was three and he can't come cause he lives cross country now. I couldn't go to his wedding either. It was a terrible year cause my cousin was also getting married in Mexico. No way could I do both. I am sad though, and now I know what he felt like :( His parents are coming though, and they were like my second family growing up.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
Hey September brides! I think most of us have passed our RSVP deadline, or are almost there. So how did you end up coming out on your guest list??
We invited 202 and I believe we will have about 155 attending! I am SO HAPPY that it's below 170, and we are so close to my original goal of 150. Woo hoo!
What about you ladies?
