When there is fakeness, you need a back up plan

You know my pal gave me a very good advice on wedding table arrangements.
Even i have planned 37 tables. I will only declare 35. As 2 will be reserve tables.
So if in the event when 20 people dont turn up...i will still end up paying for 35 confirmed tables.

True enough, out of decency, i invited some people whom i prefer not to invite. Cos i know eventually they wont come. The only thing i lost out on were the free wedding invitation cards.
