Did it take too long to receive your RSVP's?

Hi

In such stress right now? (shouldn´t be?) i sent the invitations about one month ago (50 invitations for 150 people) and 23 days left to deadline i have only received 10.....should i be worried?

How late did it take until RSVP's started to show up? I mean, in my case it shouldn't take too long since i requested specifically to go to my website and RSVP in order to make it fast and control it better. Why is it taking toooooo long to make their declines or confirmations????

Driving me crazy.......

First, just relax. 23 days until the RSVP date is over three weeks.  I learned that when we sent ours out that some people were waiting to see about babysitters, work commitments, etc. We got a bunch at the beginning, then they started to trickle, maybe one or two a day.

I am getting like one RSVP like every week. So frustrating specially since i am planning my wedding from Mexico.

i had a very small wedding (less than 60 people) and i had to hunt down at least 10 people for an rsvp because one day before the deadline they had not responded. i sent mine plenty far in advance with plenty of time to rsvp. part of it was because a lot of people were from san diego and out there nobody ever rsvps, they either show up or don't. it's crazy

My due date is this upcoming Friday and the past few days is when we've gotten the most. We had an average of maybe like 5 a week before last week. Saturday alone we got 7!

I sent my invites out with a month to respond. They were due last Friday and as of then we were missing 70 out of 135. As of today we are still missing 60 out of 135. I don't think some people realize how much this stresses brides out. One of my friends said that for the next 10 days following her deadline she still got 4 or 5 responses a day.
I made a decision that after this weekend, I will try to reach people once and if i get no response I will assume that they are not coming.
Don't stress out over it too much. They will come eventually!

It took people FOREVER to respond. The week before we got a whole bunch of responses and we had to call about 10 people to get final decisions. Don't stress about it. Give people a few days after the due date to respond and then start harassing. It will all work out!

People really are so rude when they are not aware how importat it is to RSVP, and yes, they ignore how stressful a bride can get about this.

I have 60 out of 150 confirmed but still there is a lot of people missing. I mean we did a hard work to get invitations nice and pretty, send it to their homes and the only thing they gotta do is just respond.

I know this friend that she invited 250 people, 180 responded even out of the deadline and one night before the wedding (insane), but on the wedding reception, 40 guests thatdid not reply showed up! She got crazy trying to talk to the banquet hall on preparing extra food......CRAZY!
