A party of 12 can be a HUGE deal for a small restaurant and the staff (who may rely on tips) and other people who may wish to dine that evening.
Maybe even someone reading this thread could be bumped.

well, seeing how this date is one month from now, i think it is ok if i hold on to it for a little while yet.

An adverse argument would suggest that since a month is so far away as implied, multiple reservations don't need to be made to consider locations.

Thumbs down Not really

In a 40 seat restaurant you are holding MORE than 1/3 of the seating.

A large party is blocked out for longer than a small one.

They may bring in extra staff.

It will be June.

There are graduations and weddings.

And many June anniversaries.
Etc ...Etc ...

This is very rude to someone else who may wish to celebrate that evening.

The restaurant they prefer may be one you give up last minute

What is so hard about making a choice.
Even to your own party, it would be nice to know where they will dine.

Settle down there cowboy, I reserved them today while I called my friends and found out who could come, I clearly intend not to "hold them until the last minute". By tommorrow I will have a firm account on how many people will be coming. While I don't need or care about your permission to do so, I hardly think 1 day 3 1/2 weeks in advance is going to hurt anyone. By Saturday (2 Days from now) i will have all the information that I need to decide which one, if any, i will use, and will cancel all uneeded reservations. Relax, go find another cause worth fighting. I apologize i asked for opinions.

To all who previously followed the thread,

Rest assured all previously booked/un-needed reservations have now been cancelled. Feel free to re-book away since I was taking up all the spots in the city for that weekend.
