I am, as they say, "going postal" right now.

We mailed our invitations 11 days ago. My parents have already received about two dozen replies...but they still haven't even received their invitations! Most people reported getting them 2-3 days after we sent, which I imagine is normal.
But NO ONE in NH has received their invites yet. Guests in Mass, Maine, and Vermont have all received, but not NH. Guests in California, Michigan, Oregon...EVERYONE has gotten theirs, but our 28 guests living in NH have not.
What is going on? I am really going to lose it. That's 15 invitations that were, shall we say, not cheap. And neither was the postage. I double checked addresses and zips in my spreadsheet and all were correct. We weighed envelopes before sending, so the postage was correct.
What is happening? I'm so upset. We only have like 3 extras. UGH.

Yeah, I haven't received a lot of RSVP's back either. Very frustrating. Looks like I'm going to have to start contacting people at the end of August to see if they got their invitation.

THIS--exactly! We mailed 113 invites on July 5th and still have not heard from about 70 of them...it's drivng me crazy. Why is it so hard to just check off and return a self-addressed, self-stamped envelope?? Arggggh!

I find it hilarious that this is a NH-specific problem. Once I realized it was slow I started pinging people on their invites when I talked to them, and friends in every other part of the country got theirs right away. But NH? Nope!
Hopefully since they've started arriving this means I can stop worrying that they are lost for good.
With us, we had all the people who werent coming wait til the very end to rsvp! (very annoying since we could have invited other people!!)
