    We're limited to 80 at our venue so have 50 for ceremony and extra 30 for evening, would have liked a lot more but just can't do it.

    Can I just ask and I know this might sound stupid but what happens if you invite say 50 but only paid for 40 heads and 50 turn up? Is it just a case that they will have only catered for 40? I mean surely they can't refuse people coming in? Don't think there will be a bouncer on the door or anything.
    We are having a wedding breakfast 3 course meal then after I've invited people from that to stay to evening,but I doubt Many of them will even touch the buffet after filling up on wedding breakfast as they carry on from each other practically evening do 45mins to 1hr after eating 3course meal? Surely they won't want to eat much?
    Anyone else had this thought when adding up numbers?

    they wont know how many people you have in there. some places will let you cater for like 77% of the total evening numbers. just bear in mind that some places have a max capacity and i have heard of some venues saying that you have reached the max and we wont let any more people in. its do with health and safety etc. i certainly wont be telling my venue if i go over on evening numbers lol x

    Well the max capacity for the room we have in the hall is 100 and I get 31 for day and 31 for evening with package I've bought then it's 16.95 per head over for evening (im fine for day numbers)
    I was thinking of inviting maybe 50to evening which would mean I either pay for an extra 19or... Don't tell them and just let them come because I know there will be more than enough food as most will be full and a few of older guests will probably only stay at evening an hour or so just to show there faces after being at wedding and wedding breakfast all day.
    Is this really tight? Lol x
