July 2012 Weddings

Any "nay" RSVPs yet?

I just got one and I'm so happy! My father invited his boss and their 2 grown-up daughters (one is 21;  the other is my age)  I haven't seen the 21year old since she was 8 and she RSVPed no, yay!! 

Does this make me a mean person?  I'd like it if her sister came though.  We used to play together when we were little and we went to the same uni (not bffs or anything but we were friendly).

Do you have any guests that you wouldn't mind if they responded no?

Re: Any "nay" RSVPs yet?

  • Yes - I got one back so far that I was thrilled about. Maybe my brothers FI (will be wife in June) will say no! One can only dream - I think that might make me mean.

  • I keep hoping my dad sends back no :P

    FI had an aunt and uncle send back no and he pretty much did a happy dance lol.

  • We have already had a few "No" RSVPs and I am seriously relieved. We invited 230 and we want to be around 175, so the more No the better. I know the important people will be there. Obvi I am a huge b*tch.

    I did have a friend of mine RSVP No but that's because she'll be out of the country for her job. But I'm sad about that one :(

  • bahahaha!! I just sent invites out TODAY!! yay!! lol

    and girl! you will not be the only one who will be excited if we get any NAY RSVP's! haha, I want to keep our guest list down!
  • Nobody yet, but I hope a lot of people don't bring plus one's even though I gave them to them.  My mom already told me that she told a cousin of her that she could bring her granddaughter who she has custody of and there is some drama on that, but now she's bringing her daugher (the granddaughter's mother) and I'm not allowing any other kids. I really wanted only the ring bearer/flower girl so we could limit the kids and use that as an excuse, ugh!

    Yup, we're definitely hoping for some nos. We already have all the money saved if 100% of the people we invited came so more nos would mean more spending money for the HM!

  • We've had quite a few people decline which is good! I'd love for everyone to come but my mom is concerned about the cocktail hour space being small, so the less people the better in her eyes.  Plus, it's cheaper and FI is now adding another couple to the list b/c we are invited to their reception (they had a destination wedding with family/friends).

    LOL you're fine girl, you're not alone!

    I have an extremely socially awkward cousin that I KNOW my FI would loooove if she answered no. Actually if it was up to him, she wouldn't even get an invite haha. He says "Can you just imagine? Her walking around, randomly talking to our other guests and being extremely uncomfortable with everyone??!" Lol honestly I can't blame him. I'm not inviting all of my cousins (because no joke we're at like 75 cousins by now) but I am inviting her 3 siblings.... unfortunately there's no getting around that one. And I highly doubt she'll say no. She's just tons of fun like that yay!
  • I am hoping for some "no" too. We invited 230, hoping for around 200. So far, 4 ppl declined so that was good :)
  • I'm not hoping for no's from anyone specific, but yeah, we definitely want some no's just so the numbers are reasonable. We gave everyone over 18 a plus one, but I'm hoping only the ones in serious relationships will bring a guest. We shall see!

  • I am a wicked b*tch then. Cause I hope my youngest (step)sister says no.

    She is one of those people that is always a victim, that the world owes her and she doesn't have to play nice to anyone unless she is getting something. She treats my (step)dad like absolute crap.

    I already got a hard time from her because I said no kids. I have my daughter as a BM, my brother's neice as FG, and FI's son as RB. No other kids allowed. My brother is a GM and my SIL is my MOH, so the parents to the wedding party children are in the wedding party.

    Also a year ago she gave a hard time to her older, my other (step)sister, during her wedding. Other sister had a semi destination wedding (She lives 9 hours from me and had to travel 14 hours). Brat sister insisted on bringing her 1 child she had then and flipped cause no kids were allowed and everyone went out drinking and my brat sister could not.

    This is us too!!  So far we have 3 no's and 79 yes lol.  We are really hoping for about 30 no's.  We will see I wish we never sent out STD's we could have cut off about 15 people that I could care less if they come.

  • I'm hoping for at least 20 no's. The list got huge and I'm not sure how we're paying for this lol!

    There are a couple of specific no's I'm hoping for. My dads friend who is really wierd. He won't know anyone else and he's just a really strange guy. He also can't get around very well so he may not come.

    And my mom's cousins husband, i love the cousin, but her husband is a racist and in general just not a nice person. Since my FI is bi-racial and his black relatives will be there, plus we will have a few openly gay couples, I really don't want him there. He will say something stupid and it will cause a scene.

  • We only invited 130 people so they are our closest family and friends and I hope they all come. We already had FI's mentor and his wife decline because they accidentally booked a vacation the same week as our wedding and couldn't change it. FI was bummed and I feel bad they won't be able to come. But things happen.
  • I am not hoping for anyone to decline, but we invited about 75-80 people.  So far we have 8 people coming.  Our RSVP date is May 31st. Yes I know that is early for a July 21st wedding, but we needed an early date because we will be going down to order food the second week of June and needed the numbers before then.
