Last minute cancellations, ugh!

So frustrating, I don't know why people think that cancelling 4 days before a wedding is acceptable. And they always say 'well hopefully you won't have to pay for our seat' because they're giving some notice but it's too late, final numbers are in and we had a minimum that we didn't hit anyway, so aggravating!!

    People don't understand that 2 weeks is the magic number!  If you cancel after 2 weeks, YES, WE ARE PAYING FOR YOUR SEAT, D-BAGS!

    If they are going to cancel then I'm like whatever but don't call me and tell me a few days before. I'd rather them just not show up!

    Yeah, I totally hear you. We've had 3 people cancel within the past few days. Also, FMIL emailed us and said that someone who was previously only going to come for drinks at the reception (i.e. after the meal) now wants to come for dinner! The thing that gets me is that FMIL said "well since so-and-so isn't coming anymore, you should have an extra seat, right?" NO! We don't!!! We have different sized tables (some seat 6, 8, etc.) and there are no empty seats because we changed the size of the tables when we got the cancellations! The final numbers are in for the tables and chairs because we're renting them...so...NO we can't just put an extra person somewhere.

    I'm still 12 days out but I was supposed to give my final head count on Friday and I got 5 cancellations from people that previously said yes over the weekend. Thankfully I was still able to change it up. I hope I don't get anymore after I pay.

    Been having the same issue.  Apparently people don't understand that there is an RSVP for a reason.

    We had a few people do this to us, but they had legit reasons for why they were declining, it's not like they changed their mind, things happen.

    I totally understand. We had to change our venue and have called everyone to let them know and they call days after to tell us they can't come. Didn't you think of that when we talked to you? So glad I low balled the number to the new venue.

    I agree I am nervous about a few people not showing up and having already paid for them! People just do not understand how much money a wedding these days cost I guess. I still do not understand why it is so difficult to send back a reply card which is prestamped and addressed back??
