Sad(ish) day..... and on the flip side...

Today was the first day that we haven't received a response card in the mail.  *sniff*  I was loving getting all that fun mail!  We are only about halfway there, so I know there are more coming..  but it's become the highlight of my day, seeing who responds, and if they are coming, and if they wrote a note!


But anyway.  I had my 2nd fitting today, and afterwards my two aunts and myself (since my mother and MOH are both out of towners) went to lunch.  We were discussing wedding things, and reponse cards came up.  They were saying how they didn't understand how some people take so long to respond.  I am making a huge generalization, but for the most part...  the people who have responded already are the people who have all planned a wedding at some point.  I know for a fact that I will never drag my feet about a response card, or anything like that. I used to feel sort of slighted when people didn't invite me to their weddings (not that I would ever say that to anyone, but I felt it).  Never again.  Now I completely understand, and it makes me want to send out a mass apology to everyone I've ever known. I'm sorry for asking you if you had set a day days after your engagement.  I'm sorry for not RSVPing right away.  I'm sorry for everything annoying thing I ever did.  :)

I have certainly learned my lesson!!

  • I don't think it matters if people have planned a wedding or not people still don't RSVP in a timely fashion. I like to RSVP as soon as I get it so I don't forget, I am the same way with bills, as soon as I receive them they are back in the mail. I will NEVER understand why people take forever to RSVP, honestly it's kind of rude, they know that you need to know if they are coming or not and if you are doing a seating chart it makes matters a little bit more tricky.

  • It's funny, though..  for my guests, it really is mostly the people who haven't planned a wedding before that we're waiting for!   I guess it's just my list, and my guests that have learned their lesson :)

    I feel like i've really learned a lot while planning this wedding.

  • I agree, you don't really understand the anxious-ness until you've been through it.

  • Glad your fitting went well.
    I agree about learning a lot of things.  I totally want to email my cousin who got married about 10 or 11 years ago.  I was fresh out of college and brought a random guy friend to their very nice, very expensive wedding and I think I signed out names on my parents' card because I couldn't afford a gift.  I still feel horrible.  Another cousin, I RSVPed with a guest, and then didn't bring anyone. 
    Planning a wedding, definitely makes you look at them different, and understand everything that went into them.
