Lessee. Aunt and cousin mentioned yesterday are not coming. I don't think they gave a specific reason, but they do live the furthest distance in the family, after my sister. MoH's parents are coming, which was not expected. We thought they were on vacation that week. So I think the overall count has remained steady.
I forgot to check the contract last night about the service charge/tips bit. Will have to remember tonight. I will consider the advice you've given, however, regardless of what the contract says.
The credit card charges have begun in earnest. GW paid for the wedding cupcakes today. We need to ship the cake topper down to them. I know I've seen the topper and it's nice, but I'll be darned if I can remember at the moment what the heck it is.
