I mean, what if 200 RSVP? Then you've got people that are going to be there that you know you cant seat...

The problem is that my family alone is almost 100 people so I'm going to have to cut family members

Maybe it's a southern thing, but a lot of people have receptions with less tables than the number of people they invite. I hate the idea, which is why I'm trying to figure out if the "only 50% of the people you invite will actually come" is true or not. Looks like it's not.

It has to be the hall wanting to take more money off of you. Just because the capacity of the building is one thing doesn't mean you have to use it. The seating capacity is there for a reason! Pull up your big girl pants and start chopping down your invite list. This is the first of many compromises you are going to need to make during your marriage. I promise you that people will get over not being invited. If they show up and you don't have space for them you aren't going to like what they have to say about your reception.
