Guests cancel one day before the wedding

A. It happens. Usually there's a good reason. This will be my second wedding (for goof reason) and we're keeping it small anyways. Not a biggie if someone says they can't come.

I would be sad but I am more worried about the opposite "surprise guests" who RSVP they cannot attend and show up at the dinner which is assigned seating and plated.

As we are having a destination wedding some friends and some relatives told others (not us but we heard through others) that if they find a cheap last minute deal the will "surprise us" on our wedding and show up.

What would you do in this case?

B id be more sad then anything i think.

B-it's not the end of the world

B. I would definitely be sad but i would hope they had a good reason

A It's okay

Probably a little bit of B. A lot of the guest list is family!

B, I'd be a bit sad, not much I can do, it's out of my control.

B I would be a little sad as everyone was picked specifically. I would totally understand though

B a little sad

It wouldn't bother me cause we having a small wedding

It depends who it is, but ultimately A) it doesn't matter.

A. Doesn't matter

I would be a combination. A bit sad they couldn't make it. If they had a good reason (sick, death etc) I would be alright with it. If they didn't have a good reason I would be so mad I had to pay for the per person count and they were ditching

B - I would be sad, it may happen to us, 2 of my guests are due to deliver their children within a week of the wedding so the possibility that they go into labour just before the wedding is a definite possibility.

B - I would be sad, probably tell one of the guests that are just coming to the reception that a spot opened up.

I would be a bit sad and hope that everyone is ok.

I would probably be B if a couple people cancel. But C if a handful of people cancel.. We have to pay for everyone's dinners at least a week in advance. If they don't come I've still paid for their dinner at a 5 star hotel

I would be a little bit sad

A but also a little b

A - Nothing I can do about it. I'm not going to let it ruin my day

It happens, Not going to worry about it. So.A.

A - it really doesn't matter in the long run...things come up.

Doesn't really matter

Don't really care miner stuff

B. Sad to miss them, but it doesnt make a big difference

Definitely b

B... I would be sad if a guest couldn't make it the day before the wedding, but in reality we can't control it so why let it ruin the day.

A bit of B and C. but mostly B

Back to the b trend here.

B for friends cancelling but on the other hand i would be very upset if it were family. So a bit of both B or C

Probably B, I'm sure they wouldn't do it unless they had a good reason but we would miss them as our guests are family and good friends
