We have a big guest list for a DW!!

yes the resort should be giving you a better deal since you are bringing them a huge amount of business. I have negotiated better rates with a few wineries for our tour and also with a hotel for our room blocks.

I am also really late on this thread but I also agree that you will be surprised how many people won't end up coming. Our guest list is 210 and we "realistically" budgetd for 100 -people we really thought would be coming. Now 2 months before the wedding-we are down to 65! But its been great in the budget aspect-as the numbers have dwindled we've had more money for extra things-more flowers, another hour with the photographer and other little extras. That has been nice. And I wanted a smaller wedding anyway.
