what happens when too many people come to your wedding?

So we are getting married next weekend and we paid for 75 people. Well it looks like now somewhere around 115 will be there. Almost everyone we invited is coming. The place has $250 deposit and will keep it if we go over but is that all or do they try to collect more? Because i am tapped out.

Not very many people rsvped. But when we started going through the list i started marking off the names of people who told me they were coming. When i was done i counted over 100 people. We guessed 75 way back when we made the list. A lot of people we just assumed would not come but there are only about 5 invitations that have responded no and i am pretty sure everyone else is coming. I never expected a 95% turnout.

RSVP? Most people don't know french.

:D

Seriously, though, with our baby shower hardly anyone RSVP'd and tons of people showed up. It's a common theme with these types of gatherings. Nobody thinks it's important to RSVP and they can all fug off.

Panthro, have your bride to be visit makeupalley.com. She'll have to register for the site, but they have a wedding board where it's been discussed several times. I can't remember exactly how to word it since I don't hang out on that board much.

    • Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
