Guest list minimums

Good Morning ladies!  So this is a weird question but do you all have "back-up" guest lists?  Like people you wanted to invite but could not due to finances?  And then you could add them back if needed?  I ask because my venue minimum is 175 guests.  Our list is at 188 and we already have 7 NO's.  I am starting to worry we won't meet the 175.

I am wondering if I should send out a few invitations to my back-ups?  It sounds so horrid to have "back-up" guests but if I don't meet the 175, I am still paying for it.  What would you do?  Would you send them out?  I am talking 10 people tops.  Or would you wait a few more weeks to see if we get more NO's??  

ETA: Most of these people know they are back-ups since they are my younger brothers friends (they TOTALLY understand)  and one couple is a cousin of my best friends hubby.
