Oh my mother

So I just wanted to vent about this a little. My RSVP date was Wednesday. Of course there were like 15 or so ppl who hadn't returned their rsvp...and that was after I had me, my mother, and FFIL send out reminders a little less than a week before the due date reminding people. So we round up the most replys but as of yesterday I still had about 8 people I didn't have responses to. So I put my mom on the duty of calling them (the family ones) and then I tackled my friends list.

Mom couldn't get ahold of 3 of them and so she says that she would just say they are "no" responses. I took on a friend and a family member of FIs. I called them and left messages and then at about 6 I sent a text warning them that if I didn't not receive their answer by tonight that I would consider them "no"s (even though FIs cousin said she was coming but has failed to turn in the rsvp after 10 days) So yeah. Then I texted my mom and said just so you know tonight is the cut off. I warned everyone that if they didn't get it in they would be considered a no. And she replies "Oh Whit it will be fine. I wish you would stop being so snotty."

Are you kidding me??? Snotty??? they are 4 days past the Rsvp date. They had a whole month to turn it in before that. And both people that I warned were sent phone calls, personal reminders, and face book messages. I warned them like 4 times each. I think that is being more than fair. I was even accepting phone RSVPs back. I only want to know your menu choice. how hard can it be?

Ugh. Now that brings my bridezilla out!

Re: Oh my mother

  • Yeah, I don't blame you. Your wedding is in less than a month! If it were a buffet style I'd probably give them a little more time, but if they need to let you know their meal choice then that's a little different. My mom probably would've said the same thing to me. Lol. She's probably a little stressed out too since the wedding is so close, so I'd try not to let it get to you. I wouldn't contact anyone again about the RSVP date. They're all adults and you've already given them a second deadline. If they don't respond, I'd assume they're not coming. It won't be your fault if they do show up and don't have anything to eat. ;-)

    That being said, I hope people can get their sh*t together and respond already!
  • I'd be freaking out too.... it gets to a point where you just wonder why it's so hard for people to give a response one way or another.  I know our weddings aren't on everyone's minds but c'mon!!!! Hope you hear back before the deadline :)

  • Maybe your mom was reacting to the tone of the emails/voicemails you left them? I definitely think at this point, you had to let people know that they'd be considered a no, but if your mom thought you were being pouty or pissed off about it, that might be what she was talking about. Also, I think it's standard to expect that some RSVPs will be sent ON your RSVP date, so I wouldn't be surprised if you got one or two more in the mail!

  • My RSVP date is in 5 days and I have a feeling I am going to have a lot of no answers.  I still have 55 people I haven't heard from!!  I am assuming most of them are no's.
