RSVPs

Invitations went out a month ago and now the RSVPs are coming in...and yes, I do get excited everytime I go to get the mail. It is like Thursday nights every day (Thursdays are when my US Weekly arrives). You are giddy when you see the accepts, somewhat disappointed when you get declines.

There is also a little bit of nervousness, because we went over our capacity.We definitely did not plan to do it, however, both parents asked to add some names at the last minute. Well, those some names turned into a total of 30 more people (just an additional 15 invites, but they wanted "and guest" to be included as well). I was worried, but I was told by both guilty parties - "they won't come, but we felt like we still had to send them an invite." HOWEVER (dramatic pause here)...they are coming. Of those 15 extra invites - we have received "yes" on 13 of those suckers. So now at night, I run through the numbers instead of sleeping. We have not received all of our invites back, so I do think we still have a chance to make our magic number. But I don't want to have to send this email out to our guests. Yikes! I wonder how long it took Steve to write that?!! Again, I think we will be ok and our coordinator has assured me we could get that many people in our space but I still can't sleep until I get all of the RSVPS in!
