OMG WTF!!!! 51 people are coming to my house on Saturday? Holy heck. What have I done to myself? Cripes Cripes Cripes!
Or it could be 80? 16 people haven’t RSVP’d yet. With partners and kids, that could be like another 45!
Except it probably won’t be. Because the laws of invitation go like this:
Of the total number of guests invited, 50% will respond yes.
Of those who said yes, 70% will actually show up. Possibly less if it rains that day.
If this year goes as every other year has gone. I’ll probably make 20-25 lbs of potatoes into latkes. I may or may not actually purchase and hang any sort of decorations. Who has time??? And with a toddler? Oy.
Don’t panic.
