I feel like a make a discussion every-other day talking about the guest list lol!
Anyways, I posted a few days ago about my dad inviting his cousins. I told him that he could invite them but that would be the end of modifying the guest list. However, he asked what my confirmed numbers were the other day and I told him (at the time) it was 104, waiting on 22 people so we could have stay at 104 or go up to 126. As of today, we have 106 and 18 pending, so our max total now could be 124 if all the other guests RSVP yes.
You know where I'm going with this. Realistically, probably 9 of 18 will be a yes so we're probably going to get 115 which is a decent enough list for me. My parents mentioned inviting older friends of theirs since we'd now have room (there'd only be 3-5). Our initial target was 120 so we are current under that number, but FH and are okay with being under, plus these guests are acquaintances at most to me.
My FH mentioned if we have room, he'd like to invite some coworkers and old high school friends (4 in total) I'm more open to this since they'd be more our age and my FH knows them very well so he knows they'd be fun.
I have a friend from elementary (grade 7) that wasn't on the original list because our moms had a falling out and my mom is a little sore about it. I wouldn't invite her mom, but I'm thinking I'd like to invite her and give her a guest. I figured since everyone else has B List suggestions, I should be able to throw mine in too.
Now I'm trying to figure out if we should invite all B List guests all at once, or start with FH and I's and if they are no's, then let my parents invite theirs? It's also super-last minute so I'm wondering if it's worth it as well. I feel like I'm being a bit of a bridezilla about my parents adding their guests, even though it'd cost them less with fewer people. We also could have all 18 pending RSVP yes lol.
