I''m planning a wedding where about 90% of the guests are coming from out-of-town and I could easily see many of them coming, or I could just as easily see many of them not coming. But in doing the planning it will be a significantly different wedding if there''s 90 people who come than if there''s 40.
So I''ve started thinking about using the Save-the-Dates as an informal way to gauge the likely attendance. Something like "I am likely to attend" or "I am unlikely to attend" while letting them know that this is not binding, and it''s not the formal invitation. I know that Evites has a poll function on their electronic save-the-dates to do it that way, but I didn''t know if anyone knew of a different way to poll people. Or if it''s too tacky to try and do. Or what the wording actually should be if I do this. Or if there''s another way to get a decent estimate of how many people are going to come before you send out the official invitations with the RSVP info. Egads, I need ideas!
