Hey Ladies,
I was wondering how ya'll handled this situation. My wedding is on the 27th and we are in the process of getting our response cards back from guests. We have a pretty tight guest list and we can't really afford to have an extra 50 people show up. Therefore, we went ahead and did inner envelopes and listed the guests' names on the inner envelopes hoping that people would realize that the only people invited were the people listed on that inner envelope. Well, apparently that means nothing to alot of our guests. I had one person who we just anticipated 2 people coming and she put herself along with +8! My mom almost died when she got that card in. So, my question is, how in the world do I handle something like that. That is not the only one we've gotten back with more people attending than we anticipated but that one is the most extreme. I do not want to be rude because I know these people quite well, but we just cannot afford to pay for more guests!
