What do you say when....

All you really want to tell people is why the f can't you check a box and put a pre stamped envelope in the mail....it is really not that hard...we invited 175 people and our RSVP date was Monday and are still waiting for 60...really!!! I mean dear goodness this is not helping my stress level

Re: What do you say when....

  • I hear ya! Our date isnt til next week but I have not recieved 1 in the last 2 weeks! On top of that I have yet to recieve even half of them back...ugh its so frustrating!
  • Our date is tomorrow. As you can see from my signature, we are still waiting on a bunch. It makes it hard to do the seating chart when we don't know who else may be coming.
  • Thanks for hearing me out ladies :)  I will never ever ever ever not respond to another party ever again!  Even people we know are coming because they have booked their plane tickets haven't sent it back.  Seriously?!  Ugh. i need a beer and a bed.

  • Ugh I feel you. We just made some calls, and one of our "friends" said oh yeah we can't find the invite. But we already know what we want for food. WTF. So you lost the invite and didn't think to call us but somehow you remember the menu options on the RSVP. People are just rude. After my B-party and people letting me know the day of they couldn't make it anymore if that happens at the wedding to I am done! I am sick of fake friends! Vent over 
  • Wow our RSVP date is Friday and all 129  people responded. I am feeling very blessed. On the other hand with 30 days to go my dress still is not in ugh.
  • We had about 50 not respond, I was frustrated but honestly we got all the calls done in like 1 hour today. Just waiting on a few calls back but it won't be as bad as you think!

  • We had about 40 people who didn't respond by the due date. And when we contacted them, quite a few people said "Well, I just assumed that you knew we were coming". Yeah...you know what happens when you assume... Everyone got back to us pretty quickly though, and at least this has ensured that I will always RSVP immediately from now on!

  • Our due date was yesterday, and as you can tell from my counter, I still have quite a few RSVPs missing.  Two or three have still been coming each day, though, so I will probably wait until Saturday or even Monday before I start calling.  As of now, I still have about 15 households to call (luckily 3 of the households are families of 5 or more, so that accounts for a lot of our no's).  It is frustrating, but after reading all of the posts on this board, I can see it is normal.
  • I had a good chunk showing up in my mailbox last week. Now I'm lucky if I even get more than the 1 I already received this week. I know exactly how you feel!
  • Just wait until you start to track people down and can't get ahold of them. That's the REALLY frustrating part.
  • I know how you feel, our due date is today and I am still missing 10 which is a total of possibly 20 people.  It is not as bad as other people have mentioned they have way more people to track down, but it bugs the hell out of me that people are unable to send back the card in the prestamped envelope. I guess monday I'll be making some phone calls.

  • I feel your pain! I got seriously mad when I thought about people being unable to take five minutes to send back a freaking pre-addressed, pre-stamped envelope. Come on, make my job easier, not harder! My fiance just kept encouraging me not to take it personally and that people really do just genuinely forget. I try to adopt that mindset, but it still bugs me a little.

    we are still waiting on a bunch of people also.  our date was this past wednesday. 
    the worse part is that even though we invited 230 to meet the 150 minimun, we are afraid that we won't meet the 150 and still have to pay for it.  
    i'm bracing for the tracking down ppl then after that, i won't care, it's going to be a party regardless :) (i have to think this way to avoid the stress lol)
