Wedding Problem (Opinions needed)
My mom is getting married this weekend. She sent out invitations awhile back to about 150 people, heard back from about 120 people. There are 30 people that didn't respond one way or the other. Mom called, emailed, and told others to remind those people to respond, etc. She went above and beyond to try and get some response from them, but nothing.
She gave the caterers the numbers last week, but she is quite nervous that some of these 30 people are going to show up, as she has heard through the grapevine that some plan on going. She's been working herself up into a frenzy over it.
Now, these dinners aren't cheap, they are $100 bucks/plate. But to accomodate, my mom is thinking about ordering an extra 10 plates just in case more people show up. My brothers have suggested that they should be allowed to politely tell these extras there is no food/room for them (read: tell them to go f*** themselves), but she thinks that is a rude, bad idea.
So, after that rambling, my question to you all is this: What should my mom do in terms of accomodating these people that may or may not show up?
