So, currently we are having our reception in a private room at a restaurant. (There won't be dancing, we're just having an accoustic guitarist play background music- and she's allowed in either room) It's kind of small, and if it's raining, we won't be able to utilize the attached patio for cocktail hour, keeping us in that room. There would be about 50 people.
Well, I just learned that my FI would really like to add some more people, and honestly, so would I. We have the option of moving to another, prettier, bigger room in the restaurant, for no extra cost. It's semi-private though, so other people eating there could see if they peeked over the walls separating. Not really a big deal though. Plus it would be more comfortable for people eating because there would be more room, and more space for cocktail hour if it was raining. It would allow us to invite who we would want to without having any hurt feelings, (about 20 more people) for about $1500 more for the increase in food, alcohol and flowers. Would you just suck it up and do it, or stick to your guns?? (We have the money, it's more just about not wanting to spend it...)
PS- We didn't send out save the dates or anything, so no one is attached to the guest list...
