What I see at a lot of wedding receptions is that there are often too many empty seats where I know the couple planned for food to be set. This is a downer if you're the one paying for the food, and the guests who did not show up actually r.s.v.p'd that they would come.
Use this formula to help you have a better idea as to how many guests will show rsvp or not.
take the total number of people you have invited and multiply that number by .66 and multiply that number by 1.15. Example: 300 invited x .66 = 198 x 1.15 = 228 people expected. This formula has a 90% accuracy rate. |
