In the last two days I have had 6 people call me to say they are not coming to the wedding after they RSVP'ed yes and I gave the final count to the reception hall already!!! One is a family of 5 and the other person is not coming with her plus one anymore. Neither person has a reason for not coming either. I'm so annoyed right now.

So, I have to say that if anyone "changes their minds" between now and the wedding I will be PISSED. But... the fact that they let you know BEFORE the actual day leads me to wonder if you could reach out to those who may be local and interested in attending and wouldn't be offended by the fact that they didn't get the invite in the first place. I can honestly say that there are at least 4 people I can think of (in the past 30 seconds, without much thought) that would be thrilled with a last-minute invite.. and if you're paying for the headcount anyway, why not offer?? Who cares if their escort card is hand written or white-out'ed.
I would much rather someone tell me last minute that they're not coming rather than waiting until the day of the wedding to simply "not show up". Totally not cool.

I never thought of this. There might be one or two people who would not be offended if I ask them. I'm sure they understand why I couldn't invite them to begin with. It's just annoying how some people can be inconsiderate and back out at the last minute. I would understand if it was an emergency or something totally out of there control but nope all I got was a "I can't come so sorry".
