That happened to us too
It's not nice, but it's a better excuse than "we always go skiing those days, so sorry"

that is a terrible excuse
we've only had one excuse so far, from my gay uncle. "sorry, can't come, I'm going on holiday with some gay mates and I can't be arsed to drive from your wedding to where we are going"

I have no idea

That's really a bad excuse too
I got upset at the beginning, but as Mark said, "If they don't want to be on the wedding, we don't want them to be on the wedding"

that's my view
we've not caused a fuss, but apparently my grandparents had something to say to him about it.

I bet they did
We didn't say anything either, but Mark's mother (the sister of one of them) was really unhappy and had a word.

to be honest, I'm only really inviting aunts and uncles so my parents don't have to look after my very elderly grandparents
as long as one set comes I don't care.

That's a good point
They can help with little kids too, if they're invited.

Look, at least it makes it cheaper
We had to send invites out in batches to be safe and still nearly all of them came. Selfish bastards, turning up, being happy for us.

that's our view
fewer people there for dinner the better

I can tell you if it's 130 it costs rather a lot.
try to have less than that.

I think we've got about 67

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 12 May 2011, 16:33, Reply)

we had 220...

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Thu 12 May 2011, 16:34, Reply)

at the meal?
fuck
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 12 May 2011, 16:36, Reply)

We invited 300
and less than 80 came to the meal, which was good. No way we could have afforded 300

we certainly couldn't
basically got all our good friends coming to the meal, and inviting a shitload of others later on.
