RSVPs

LDubHawksFan · August 2012

Where do you ladies stand with your RSVPS? I am totally shocked that in the 2 wks since we sent them out, we have already gotten responses from 60 out of the 120ish people we invited! There have been some surprises, but most are who we thought would come. My biggest suprise is that my family who have had their flights booked for months are the ones who haven't sent in the card! lol

I have a bunch that are outstanding which I am kind of surprised at. I only have 4 yes's and I know that there are more people who are coming because I know that they have bought their tickets already.

catwine · August 2012

we still have a lot outstanding, so i guess my plan of sending them out super early backfired. i figured people may want to take the monday after our wedding off (the wedding is sunday) or the OOT people may need to make hotel accomadations or whtever, so i sent them out in July. There are some people I knew wouldn't be RSVP"ing until later (friends who are travelling or recently got married) but I'm surprised that most are draggin their feet.

I have 60 yes and 0 no's. I also know some no's and a ton of yes's off the top of my head that haven't sent in RSVPs yet. I just want to yell - YOU KNOW YOU'RE COMING PICK WHAT YOU WANT TO EAT AND SEND IT IN!!

It's okay though. They still have about 2 1/2 weeks to rsvp.

mmmendi · August 2012

I only mailed mine at end of Monday. We have four cards returned, and I'm guessing that we will wind up calling to secure results in a couple of weeks.

I'm actually surprised to have this many respond in 2 weeks. I'm only thinking 125 will come since there's a lot of OOT family, so having 40some yeses so far is awesome.

im still waiting on 30 RSVP's and my cut off date is 9/7...thinking I will be chasing people down since there is only 2 weeks left. How fun lol

AEPerpete · August 2012

I think our RSVP's are pretty proportionate to how many people we have invited so far, so I think they are coming in at a good rate. There is still plenty of time to send them in before the due date, so I'm not too worried yet.

pzavecz · August 2012

I mailed out my invites 2 weeks ago and so far have only 16 responses back. So still waiting on 143. A bit disappointing especially since most of those are from FI's side. Also, most of the responses back were from people that are local so they didn't even get a save the date. Not sure what is up with the others since they've known about this date for awhile. They received save the dates in February. At this rate, I'm going to be reaching out to like 100 people after my RSVP date. Lol. There is still 3 more weeks left until my RSVP date so crossing my fingers for a lot more in the coming weeks!

I'm not sure why a lot put it off, but I think that is the norm. I doubt you will be calling 100 ppl! I was just surprised how many we have received and hope that we don't have to call a ton of people. We still have almost 4 wks left for ppl to respond, so I'm now bracing myself for the nights when I come home to no rsvps in the mail..... :(

pockysquirrel · August 2012

I was psyched at how many people responded right away, but now it's slowed to a crawl. Like PPs, there are a couple people that I know for certain are coming but whose cards I haven't seen yet. One of them is a GM. FI and I saw him over the weekend and he asked if he should bother returning the card since we know he's coming. My response was yes, it helps me stay organized! People can be silly about these things, LOL...

brainybrunette · August 2012

Ours have been out for about 3 weeks. We have about 50-60% of our responses in. RSVP deadline is Sept 12.

ktelizabeth86 · August 2012

FI's family is dragging their feet . . . and they are a huge chunk of our guest list. I just want to know already!!! Lol.

BrittneyRN · August 2012

I think we have about 35 responses out of 206, but our RSVP date isn't until 9/22. I haven't gotten any since last Thursday:(

NRod70 · August 2012

I mailed mine last Monday. I have only had 3 come back yet. I was surprised that the first one came 2 days after I mailed them out. LOL.

The response date is not til the end of September, so I am not concerned at this point.

PattySmith101 · August 2012

i mailed ours on wednesday afternoon- got 3 cards saturday < 6 yes> no mail sunday and 3 more today! 5 more yes!!!! so we are up to 11+ (fi & I)= 13 so exciting we have not gotten any replies from my family yet lol they are the type to be like " you know i am coming do i need to send it back" so i feel ya whoever said that!!! all fi's side and 3 of our friends!!!!!!

I actually cheated and went through my guest list and responded yes or no to people I know are either coming or not. For instance I have 5 couples and 1 of the spouses in each couple will be reading a quote from Shakespeare during the ceremony. They all came to dinner so we could practice, so I know they are coming, so even though they didn't RSVP I counted them! Also FMIL let me know that she is sure of a few people who are not coming so I rsvp'ed for them too

I have a list like that too, where I knew my great grandma couldn't come and most likely my mom's friends aren't coming for our prelim seating chart, but until I get a response from everyone, I would not use that as my count!
