After pulling together all of my resources (including facebook messaging a friend to ask for someone else's email address since fiance doesn't know how to contact this person) I was able to get back the final RSVP's. I can't believe how many people did NOT send in their RSVP's - instead I received responses in person, over the phone, via text message, on Facebook, even carrier pigeon (not really, but one of my fiance's friends threw it out there as an option). Anyway, all of that aside, we are having a grand total of 95 guests (not including ourselves) at the wedding (we invited a total of 149,so that means 37% declined). Our minimum (a.k.a. the number of guests we're paying for no matter what is 110), bringing us 13 shy if you include us. So we met with our venue and they were EXTREMELY generous and added on a bunch of extras to make up for the difference. This is what they had told us they would do in the case that we came out below the 110 minimum, but we had no idea how generous they'd be.
I'd share, but I don't want to give anything away in case any guests are reading. I'll be sure to fill you in post-wedding.
