DH and I got married over Easter weekend. It's second time for both of us so we had a small ceremony and sit down meal for immediate family. We had a larger gathering for an evening reception. 120 people RSVPd yes and we paid £25 a head for buffet and drinks for toast.
Of the 120, one couple texted me at 9pm the night before the wedding saying they were now going away for Easter and wished us a nice time. Two couples contacted DH re baby sitting issues and a further 10 just didn't turn up or contact us at all, despite RSVP yes a week or so before.
I have given it a couple of days in case people got in touch to say they had a sudden illness/crisis, but so far nothing. I completely understand the babysitting problem., so no issues there.
We are both v cheesed off with the no shows, including the couple who decided to go away! (She was at the hen night!). I clearly told people that the wedding was Easter Saturday. I also chased up RSVPs before we had to pay the final catering cost for venue. This has cost us hundreds of pounds extra so we are a bit annoyed!
