Help me wedding plan.

[flippinchica]

I has this issue. I had space for as many as I invited which was maybe 115 but only seats for the ceremony for 100 so I really wanted only 100. I had a chunk of family I was pretty certain wouldn't make the trip. I think we ended up with 60 people which was great

Is the goal to have 150 in attendance?

Tlex extended family my parents want me to invite.

Ah tricky because they may hear already if other family has gotten invites/started planning. If they were not related to you I would say do the b-list thing and I’ll never tell a soul.
I think the sane thing to do is tell your parents sorry it’s our wedding and our budget, we’re staying where we’re comfortable re: invite numbers. I know family can be really difficult about that shit and imaginary boundaries are easier to draw than real ones.

Roughly, but yes. Basically we want to have a big party and are already planning to pay for 150, so we want to be close to that number.

If your goal is around 150, but you know you have say 50 pretty confident no’s, then I would invite 200. I wouldn’t do extra invites accounting for the maybes who turn into no’s. Does that make sense?

[lifesaverz]

We invited about a hundred more than we planned for at our wedding, so...but like you’re saying, we knew they wouldn’t come. H’s family knows a lot of people, & there was a lot of extended family we knew wouldn’t come, like you’re saying. Of course we did have some wiggle room if some had been able to make it, but in general it worked out exactly how we thought. If I were you I would feel comfortable to go over 150 by the number of guests that you’re pretty positive will be no’s, & anyone who could be a maybe I would count as a yes.

Just curious from the way you say reception and I'll wear my dress, are you already married? If so, do all the guests know this?
Are you parents paying for any? If they are, then ok maybe go ahead and give them the extended family they want. But I were paying, I'd say too bad so sad they aren't invited. Even if you have the budget for 150, it's always nice to not spend the max lol

We are getting married on a mountain in New Zealand on December 30, then spending two weeks with his family there. The reception in Nashville is two weeks after the wedding. So it’s the only wedding event we are having that family can come to, just delayed.

Oh nice, I remember those pics of the NZ landscape that were asked about. Sounds great!!

HIH Blind Items Revealed

September 5, 2018

This Crocs-wearing, Minnesota-State-Fair-loving Leo *thinks* she's A+ list. Do we have news for her. Not only did she not get invited to this fancy-shoe-wearing bride's wedding, she didn't even get a spot on the B-list amongst the second cousins and old work colleagues. She'll be green with envy to learn that the handbag-loving queen of HIH gossip and fashion is on the guest list! Maybe our math nerd B-lister can be a Plus 1?

I say you tell your parents that if they want them to come they have to pay. Then you invite them, but only charge your parents if you go over your 150. Is that possible?
