got my first 2 rsvps-totally stressed now

so I got so excited when I saw two RSVPS on the table...i open the first one and the guest wote in an extra name.  UGH.  The invite was addressed only to her, only her name was on it, and she wrote in a guests name.  Our budget won't allow for many more guests to do that.

So I open the second one and then I look at the number on the back of the card (I numbered each rsvp) and the people responding were not assigned that numer card...so somewhere in my hours and hours of doing invites, I messed up.  I want to cry.

So to double check, I text the only other guest with that last name (who happens to be FSIL) and she said it has to be the other guests she hasn't even gotten her invite yet....she lives 15 minutes away and i mailed them tue.  people in other states have said they've gotten theirs (im in ny and my dad in CA got his)

im freaking out.  what other invitations are lost?  AGGG (sobbing)

    I know that it seems like it now, but none one of these things is really a big deal.

    1) If the guest you invited does have a SO, that person really should be invited.  However, if the guest is truly single, no plus one is required.  If that is the case, just call the guest and explain that, unfortunately, you cannot accommodate an extra guest and the invitation was just for her.  If she says she won't attend as a result, reply, "I'm sorry.  We will miss you." If she doesn't know a lot of other people, and there's any way you could afford it, it would be nice to extend her a plus one, but if that isn't possible, you need to call and clear things up.

    2) The numbering on your cards will only be needed if someone forgets to put their name on the RSVP.  So, I wouldn't really worry about it until that situation occurs (if at all).  I doubt many people will forget, so I wouldn't stress.

    3) Sometimes because of different sorting procedures, mail can take a bit of time to reach its destinatation.  It's only been three days, so I wouldn't panic.

    Take a deep breath...everything will be fine!

    you are right...I think I just got overwhelmed for a moment  between my income being drastically reduced over the summer to trying to make my FSD's 18th birthday AND hs graduation (all in the same wee) really special, and plan the wedding, I think I just cracked.  You are right, they are minor things and have already started to work themselves out.  Thank you =D

    I understand your panic... I'm worried people aren't getting their invites as well. But if they only went out Tuesday, then you should relax... We live in Ohio, but for some reason people in NC and SC got theirs first.. 2 weeks later we got a returned invite due to insufficiant address (a GM gave us the wrong city, with no apt. number and totally wrong zip code... I can't even figure that out) Then at the 2.5 week mark my MOH said she just got hers that day... the same day a guest in another country received hers? The mail is crazzzzzy. Don't worry just yet...

    I totally understand your panic, but I wouldn't stress too much - it'll work itself out :)

    One of my coworkers that I invited him ALONE - decided to add a plus one for himself. Thing is - he doesn't even have a g/f and he told me it's prolly gonna be one of like 3-4 girls he might bring. And he hooks up with random skanks all the time. Which is why I invited him ONLY. Ugh. Kinda wish he'd rsvp's NO. LOL

    I can relate to your situation. We received our first RSVP and the person also wrote in that she would bring a date, even though she is single and it was clearly written that "1 seat has been reserved in your honor." What really bums me out is that this person (who is a former coworker) has been hounding me for an invite. So we finally decide to invite her and then this. Grrr.
