We are slowly getting RSVP's in the mail day by day, but unfortunately my FI isn't getting many from his side due to a Family Reunion that was scheduled the weekend before. His whole family new of our Wedding Date back in January as we announced it along with his parents spreading the news.
They usually have these family reunion bbqs in August or Sept, but decided to set the date for October 6th this year. We found out about it AFTER we sent out invites. This was arranged in late May. We still aren't sure who arranged this, nobody will say, but FI is not very happy at all.
We have recieved several RSVP's back from out-of-state family who checked the unable to attend and added a little note saying they were already going to be there the weekend before for the reunion. Even his own Grandma who lives 2 hours away from us here in the state hasn't even returned hers or given an answer. They aren't real close, but he thought for sure she would be attending, as she did his sisters wedding a couple years ago.
What is supposed to be a happy exciting time in getting RSVP's back has turned kind of tense now when we open them, he pretty much says its another no before we open it. I hate seeing the disappointment in his face.
