I think some, yes. :)  But the reason I think so is that you've planned
a ball for the evening, so there is more reason to stick around this
year than sometimes.  I am one of the many who often duck out after
court and go out to dinner with friends.  This year I'll have a reason
to be on site after supper, and the event is near enough to home that I
don't have to spend the whole evening driving home, but can afford the
time to stay and dance.

On the other hand -- EK Twelfth Nights are sometimes plagued by bad
weather.  Having a smaller feast means less exposure if we do get a foot
of snow on Friday or Saturday, which has happened before, and people
cancel or no-show in droves.

So overall, it probably makes sense to limit to 200.

Side note: I notice that the feast reservation cutoff date is before the
event announcement appears in Pikestaff.  You might consider extending
that a bit.

Best,
