Wedding Stress
So we got our invitations in the mail - yay!

And then we got down to counting our guests. After family and wedding party, each of us has 16 people to invite.

Sixteen.

Talk about getting the wind knocked out of your sails.

Talk about the very opposite of Yay!

I never wanted a big wedding. Now that I'm getting one anyway, it's not the vision of seas of nearest and dearest. It's family, wedding party, and 16 people. Not that those people aren't nearest and dearest, but srsly - there are several sets of third cousins I don't know very well who are on the list. And when you start penciling in everyone's kids and the space.

Cause that's what it is. We could feed and provide drinks for 50+ more, easy. But our space maxes out at 204. Like seriously maxes, no other possible way, we're seating 10 tops long and close as is.

Sixteen. People.

I started crying when we came to the final list and have felt utterly gutted all day. Especially since I assumed there'd be more room and I have to backtrack my way into letting people know they can't come. :(

Once we start getting some "No" Rsvps, we can start adding people back on.

Until then... sad faces all around.
