We were told 180 people could fit in the tent (and the church). I thought 180 was a rather large number and was glad to use some of the space for an enormous dance floor, but Fiancé’s mother wanted to invite the entire world so we compromised and said “Sorry, only 180 can fit in the tent.” That’s not a lie either. That’s a tightly packed, professionally set-up tent layout…and since we’re setting up on our own it’s safe to say 180 won’t exactly fit then. Now that you know this, guess how many are getting invitations? Let’s just say it’s more than 180. It’s going to be a bit awkward when it starts pouring rain and I have to ask those extra guests to “please go back outside in the exposed lawn with your soaked tablecloth and snubbed candles because you can’t fit in here.” I can only imagine. We’re really hoping the rule about people RSVPing “no” comes true. I hear it’s 10-20% of the invitations but really I’m hoping for more. No offense. Well, I don’t actually care if I offend you because I don’t even know you. Again, I’m not trying to be cranky but isn’t it partially my wedding? I say 180 is a lot and I’m right.I’ve heard the guest list is a huge cause of in-law strain and I certainly believe it and am living it first hand. Yikes.
