Difference in RSVP numbers, what to do?
As father of the groom, I agreed to pay $4500 for an open bar with an estimated 150 people attending Since then the number of people has dropped to 115 - how should I handle since $1000 reduction?

Most venues will have terms on the amount of time final attendance numbers need to be submitted and will also have penalties when inside this. Most venues here in Brisbane will have a 10 business day clause, once inside of this that is the number they bill. Some venues allow you to reduce this number up to x amout of days prior to the event with a x% penalty. We are a little more forgiving and ask for 5 business days and in general only charge for the food if the attendance drops since it is already purchased but we will normally only charge the beverage component of the package on the actual attendance since the un used beverage will not be wasted
