jillithianGiddy and worried
All at the same time.
Received the first response in the mail today!!!!
I was so excited! "Oh, who could it be? Who could it be?" I thought. And then opened it.
"Who's that?"
Tim's response: "Dear God, they're bringing the whole clan!"
One of the late additions to our guest list (courtesy of an over-zealous future sister-in-law and a procrastinating future husband) is some cousins. Having never met them, and as his family tends to be much older than my own, I assumed that when addressing the envelope to Mr. and Mrs. Cousin, that was the extent of the family. But no. The response card says "Number of persons: 8".
Tim immediately starts thinking we won't have enough room. And, well... We have a permit for 149 people at the park and invited (at initial count and not knowing family sizes) a little over 170. All of the books say to assume only 70% will show. So, if that is true, 120 people will show so that leaves plenty of room for this couple's six children.
I'm not trying to sound ungrateful or horrible! Just uninformed and unprepared for that first response card...
Now don't all of you other people start having six kids and wanting to bring them too! Unless, of course, they are unbelievably adorable and will distract from the crazy, harried lady in the big white dress. Then you can bring them.
