So I just heard that a guest

Won't be able to attend the wedding. I already confirmed and paid for the catering, but should I let them know anyway? What about the rentals? Having an extra few chairs shouldn't matter right?

I'm an over thinker.

Someone who didn't RSVP will probably fill the spot.

The caterers etc know the numbers are approximate. Nbd.

You are fine. This requires no action on your part.

Sadly there will be no shows.  There are always no shows, so try not to stress and worry.

Thanks guys! I figured it wasn't a big deal but just wanted to check.

More cake for me!

Give it to the grandma that wanted to come?

We had a fair amount of flux in the last three or four days before the wedding -- people cancelling at the last minute due to illness, people who had originally RSVPd no who could come in the end....we didn't tell our caterer about any of these, but we had also planned on a buffet, so the amount of food was NBD.

That's just part of it. It sucks but there will probably be a few that don't end up coming.

We had a few people that didn't attend last minute due to illness. I didn't even notice, they told me afterwards. Their meals were offered to my H, my dad, and FIL, lol.
