SC - wedding feasts numbers

[Helen]

I wish it was less believe me!  Great advice but it will be alot of people.  I was
hoping if I told them they had to wear a costume it would keep them away.... so far has
not worked!!!!!!!   I really think that 400-450 will show and stay for the first course
at least!!!  The are so excited they can't wait and I know my family and his, well over
130 will stay all day!  We send out 350 invites  (read 700 people) and have 200 people
coming so far and 144 invites still unanswered.  It will be alot of people.  I would
rather waste food than not have enough to feed the masses!  And we have paid staff to
feed as well.  The guests are all renting costumes and everything and family is driving
for hours.  The only ones that will cut out after the first course are folks I did not
know (read dad's friends)  and many of them are really really excited by this!

Thanks,
Helen

>One caution. Are you sure you will be cooking for 400? I found out at our

> medieval wedding that only some of the guests stayed for the dinner. Many folks
> left after the wedding ceremony or in the early part of the reception portion.
> Also, not everyone is going to eat all the different dishes.
