ok girls.... am i being pissy or not?

If you were in someone's wedding... shouldn't they have the courtesy of at LEAST RSVP'ing to yours??? I spent a ton of money traveling (one was in GA, I like in philly), buying dresses and throwing showers/parties. You dont necessarily have to come to mine (although I think you really should) but comon RSVP in a timely manner. 


ugh.... let the games begin

How far past the rsvp date is it? I know I'm one who is bad about remembering to mail them early. Normally they get there a few days late (but I try to call/text that it's coming).

Passed a week ago today.... called one, she has yet to call back.

People should RSVP in a timely manner regardless of whether or not you were in their wedding!

I had people send me their RSVP cards the week of the wedding after I had already talked to them. I also had people RSVP yes and then not show up without ever bothering to give us an explanation. It happens.

50 people RSVPed yes to my wedding and did not show up. It happens.

missejayne

FIFTY!? jesus .... I will expect a handful to not show but 50?!


I'd die.

katiewhompus

Is she known for flaking or could something be going on in her life that is taking her attention? When was the last time you talked to her?

ricksang

Yeah, I am still pissed about it!

We can tell!

missejayne

We have not talked too extensively since Jan... she had a baby the same time my 2 year old nephew died. We live in difference cities so we would generally talk once a month or so... but because she had a kid and got busy, and I just be around kids stil without losing it I didnt think having a crying wack job around your baby is a good idea... ya know.

I know its a long time not talking and kids take up more time than one could imagine... but how hard is it to put a check next to yes or no.

missejayne

haha i mean DIFFERENT cities... dont know what difference cities would be.

I know it makes me sound like a major bitch, but I don't understand not RSVPing on time.  Unless there was a death in someone's family, I hate the "I got too busy and forgot" defense.  I feel the same about any party, though, not just a wedding.  Even if I'm having a BBQ and I sent out evites, I get irrationally pissed when people don't RSVP on time.  It's just one of my things.

katiewhompus

Eh, if life has gotten crazy I could see her misplacing the rsvp or completely losing track of time. Just leave a message/email about wondering if she will make it and leave it be. If she hasn't answered in a week call again, then the third time be like "Hey friend, I keep trying to contact you but we keep crossing paths. Just wanted to let you know I need to get the numbering into the caterers soon so if I don't hear differently I'll assume you cannot attend. I hope to hear otherwise!"

I'm with you.  It's rude and inconsiderate.

Nebb, I just laugh every time I see that picture. So funny. And I read all your posts with a demonic voice.

Could she be pissed that you were in her wedding and didn't ask her to be in yours? That's a really idiotic reason to not RSVP, but girls can be idiots sometimes.

jasmineh7777

I'm sorry she hasn't gotten bakc to you. I assume you're pretty close since you were in her wedding. RSVPs suck. I had about 40 no-shows as well.

[Deleted User]

Now that I've planned a wedding, I'm definitely more aware of how frustrating RSVPs are. So I make sure to reply in a timely manner. I think your friend is just being rude and inconsiderate, but I think that of anyone who does that.

<div>I am with you on this. Furthermore, if people do that more than once, I generally stop inviting them to stuff. I have always thought that if someone extends the kindness of an invitation, the least I can do is RSVP. I do not think it is to much to ask of myself-or others!</div>

Same here.  I'm 4 weeks out and still missing 40 responses.  *grumble*

allisong23

Don't get me started. We are less than 6 days out and 20+ people have not responded. If they show up, they will be told there is not a seat for them.
