I just sat down with my Mom last night to assemble the invitations. She had been wanting to help so I waited for her to be available (even though I could have done them weeks ago myself) I didn't want to take away from the fun she thought it would be to work on them together...it was fun actually so I'm glad we did them together!
Well I showed my Dad the reply card since he hadn't seen them yet and he said "wow these need to be in by March 31st?!?"
I almost fell off my chair. I thought the woman who made the invites choose a date in April and now March 31st is about 3 weeks away. I can send them out by tomorrow but I'm just feeling terrible that these rsvps need to be back in 3 weeks!
Ugh, I wish I had just assembled the invites on my own time and then I would have seen the rsvp date a lot earlier. My parents said that it would all be fine, and people would rsvp in time, and if some people wait until April its ok too, but I just feel like an idiot for not knowing the rsvp date until last night
Re: Panicking!!!! Invites NEED to go out tomorrow!
[QUOTE]It will be okay :) Just don't be surprised if you have quite a few that are missing by your deadline. And I would give a couple weeks after your deadline before you start calling/contacting people to see if they're coming or not.

Ditto! Don't panic! Just try to get them finished and out by the end of the week if possible. People won't think anything of it!

Don't panic!! It seems quick but people really don't need 3 weeks to send back a tiny piece of paper. It takes maybe 3 minutes to look it over, write in names, and toss it in the mail. And besides that, there will ALWAYS be people who are late doing things, so maybe the early date will spur them to move a little quicker and actually get them to you on time! It's not like your mailbox will start spitting them back out at your mailman April 1st.
