Re: Guest Lists - Help

The thing is, it came out to about 400 people - including his side. I cant afford to feed 400 people. Im also buying a car, a house, furniture, etc. around the same time!

If you cant afford it, you cant afford it, there is no shame in that and nothing wrong with having a smaller wedding. Try to see if there are people you can cross out from both sides, many times a significant portion of our wedding guests are people we invite simply because we feel obliged to for some reason or another

How did you all manage your guest lists and what did you do to ensure the invited people would show up especially since you've already paid for them?

If people dont RSVP back to you, try to get a family member/close friend who can call them up to check. At least that will give you an idea of who is committing to come and who isnt. After that, there isnt really much you can do to ensure they will actually show up!
