October 2012 Weddings

Come on RSVPs!

The RSVPs have been trickling in lately! I'm averaging one a day, even I even get any! The most I've ever gotten in one day is 5-6. We have only have 14 days until our RSVP date (but 2 Sundays, so only 12 mailing days) and I still need to hear from 105 people!

Re: Come on RSVPs!

  • I know the feeling, we still have 3 weeks till our rsvp date, but I'm lucky to get one a day. Earlier this week I went 4 days without any.

    My rsvp date is today! I'm hoping I get a fistful in the mail today since I'm waiting on so many, but I doubt that will happen. :(

    Edit: I'm waiting on 44 cards still. Really people?!

  • I seriously want to post on facebook reminding people to send in their RSVPs. Even though our date is still 2 weeks away, I have a ton of stuff to do and I need those cards back!

    </div><div>Unless you invited everyone you are facebook friends with, this is a bad plan.  You'd probably get some "where's my invitation?" comments.  If you were to PM them instead, that might be better - but there's still 2 weeks until your date.</div><div>

    I know what you mean!  Our deadline is next week...yeah still waiting on 100 slackers!  I was hoping the replies would pick up this week...but nope.  Just as slow as ever..maybe even slower.  We did get 5 yesterday and 3 today but before that we got nothing on Tuesday and 1 on Wednesday and 1 Thursday.  :(

    A couple days ago, I sent PM's on facebook and texts to my BM's that hadn't sent their RSVP's back and also to my really close friends who I knew were going and asked why they hadn't sent their RSVP back.  I was upfront and let them know that I was probably going to be reaching out to 100 people that didn't respond yet because people were being real slow so I let them I would appreciate if they just sent it back already to make my life easier.  FI did the same with his GM because we hadn't gotten ANY back from them.  Geez.

    You may want to just send out a reminder to some people (if you're comfortable) and see where they stand.  Some people may have just gotten busy and just let it slip.  It happens.

    </div><div>Ugh!  I feel the same!  There are so many times where I just wanted to vent on RSVP's on facebook and think that maybe my passive aggressive attitude would make people start sending in their cards.  But I end up holding my tongue because I am paranoid about people trying to invite themselves and asking where their invite was....yeah...awkward.  LOL.</div><div>
    </div><div>But seriously...I want to so bad sometimes.  Haha</div>

  • See why I was freaking out a tad before? once the deadline approaches and there'ss still a bunch left it's very easy to start stressing!
  • 3 days until the deadline and I'm waiting on like 60 people!!!!!  This is crazy!  I need to order the favors by Fri the 14th and NEED AN ANSWER from people!

    Thank you!! I did say I WANTED to, not that I was GOING to. My RSVP date is the 21st, so people still have 2 weeks. I've had a couple verbal replies, which I guess is better than nothing.
