Budget-wise I've always accounted for having 140 guests attend. Our total list numbers were as high as 180 at one point but we ended up with 157. I still left the budget at 140 to be safe. So we need 17 no's to hit budget. Well, we already have 10 no's and I'm 99.9% sure on 6 others (4 of those I'm 100% sure on). That means out of the 120 guests left we only need 1 no to meet budget. Whew! The budget we set was becoming a stretch for us so this is really good news. And, since a huge portion of our budget is the food cost which is headcount driven, this could have a big impact on that end bill. So relieved!
