Thank God the economy sucks!

We have gotten so many unexpected RSVP's as a 'no' because of the economy. closer family members who live a little bit away who we completely expected to come, and who want to come cant because they've lost their jobs or cant afford to come out. Dont get me wrong, i feel really bad for them, and wish they could come but it looks like we will have a lot less people then we expected and it makes me so happy, because we had a lot more people to invite then we initially thought.
