The guest-list is more than halfway there. There was a sudden dip in prices on Hawaiian Air and the lucky-un-booked were able to snag roundtrips for $330 (and are not on redeyes like the rest of us who paid $450). I can't complain, I'm glad we got on everyone's ass to book early, by now we're only waiting for a few more "guarantees" and the party will be set.
According to my "Booked" and "Expected" lists, the head count is already at 69. That doesn't even include the "Still Likely" which is another 18 heads, topping off the total list to 87. Not bad for our first estimate, when we first went "destination-wedding" we expected between 75-100 people.
We only have exact seating for 78. If 87 show up... I'm axing all the underage kids and taking them out of the canopies and sitting them underneath the stars, al-fresco. Haha. Also, I'm trying to be optimistic and realistic at the same time, and I think our count will come down to 76 in the end. SO... we will see.
