I cannot believe this...
My dh's cousin is getting married this weekend. Yesterday, he gets a call from his cousin telling him that needs $1,500 or his hall is going to cancel his wedding. He had a minimum of 75 people coming and only 65 people are showing up.
#1...I don't see how 10 people are $1,500 especially when it's at 12:30pm on a Saturday and it's not an expensive place. Plus there is NO alcohol at this wedding either.
#2...We are having another baby and own a house with a mortgage. Does he really think we have this extra money lying around?
My dh told him that he wished he could help him but times are tough now. If we gave this money to him I doubt we'd get it back anytime soon.
Sorry so long...I just can't believe some people sometimes...

Re: I cannot believe this...
wow.....so people!
If the other 10 people responded yes, he would have had to pay for them anyway. So either way he would have been short......I just understand people!
I would have done the same thing....no way!

this is what i was thinking... why did he have to pay extra for people who weren't coming? wouldn't the cost ahd to have been the same? what reception hall charges more for fewer people?

I was thinking the SAME thing.
If his min was 75 he would have to pay for 75 REGARDLESS of how many showed.
And he would have known this up front.
If MORE people were coming at the last minute- then I can see why he would need more money- to pay for the extra guests.
This makes no sense!

Exactly...
This and the fact that he's telling us it's over 100 per person...at a wedding with no alcohol...tells us that he's lying...

Re: I cannot believe this...
That is definitly nervy but he had to have that $1500 anyway because he needed to pay his minimum regardless if he had 75 people or not. He didn't know this

Re: I cannot believe this...
My friend just did research on the place they're having it on LIW...good old LIW
She found out that it would be about 50-60 pp and less for no alcohol.
So how does that add up to $1,500???

It's probably the 10 people and the balance of what they owe? That's the only way it could make sense to me. People are really something. Nothing ceases to amaze me anymore.

I was going to ask you of it was on LI, so we could try & figure the price out!
However like many others said, regardless of how many people are coming, they should have had the $ for at least 75 if that was their minimum. It's when you go OVER your expected # that you may run short.
Idiots.

Re: I cannot believe this...
I don't know if i'd be more annoyed at the fact that he asked for the money, or for the fact that there's not going to be any alcohol at the reception?!
