August 2012 Weddings

RSVPs Finally In...Sort Of

Well, we finally have all of our RSVPs in and have our final headcount...I think.  

We are still waiting on a friend who told us to count him in, but still needs the final approval from his boss.  Since he called the day before to cancel on coming to another friend's wedding in June, I'm a little skeptical to count him in, seeing as how once we give the final headcount, we pay for that many meals even if we go below that number.

I also just found out that one of my FI's friends broke up with his serious girlfriend, who was planning on coming.  I'm bummed because I really liked her.  However, he is already seeing someone else, but can't decide if he wants to bring the new girl or not.

Oh, and my FI's brother's girlfriend is pregnant and due within a week of our wedding.  So if she has the baby, they (along with 4 of her family members) won't be making it, and we will be short a groomsman. I know I sound really selfish about this, but I would probably be more excited for him if he actually knew it was his baby and she wasn't 17 years old...but that's a different story!

So we are making progress, but we're not quite there yet!  Luckily we have until August 3 to give the venue our final numbers.  How is everyone else doing with getting their RSVPs in?

    This almost exactly. She works in the bridal industry, so needless to say I hadn't heard from lately at all. My girls hadn't heard from her either, so I was getting concerned, but she just told me 2 days ago that she put in the request but she doesn't know yet. I haven't included her in the count, but I still have a few weeks before a final count is due, so I figured by then she (and by proxy I) would know if she can come.

    Other then that, it's just a few people who need to figure out if they're bring their kids and someone who needs to double check some dates with his family. It's not too bad, and like I said, I have a few weeks before I need to give a final headcount, so I'm not terribly worried.
  • Ours are due this on Saturday, and I have to get the final numbers to the reception venue by next Friday or Saturday.  We are still missing approximately approximately 50 rsvp cards (mainly from FI's side and my dad's work friends, but it's stll annoying).  We are going to be making phone calls next week starting Tuesday to get the stragglers' responses.

  • Ours aren't due for a bit, but we're only waiting on two - one who can't decide if she wants to ask someone to go, and one who I think isn't sure if her bf is going to come.  I really hate the indecisiveness and it's kind of annoying waiting, but oh well, not much I can do.

  • One of my bosses sent in an RSVP that said "yes, if I can get off".  So he answered before he knew.  Then he told me the scheduler for the area denied his request.  And now, he said, he MAY be able to make it.  I told him if they can make it they're more than welcome..   What I didn't tell him is that if they come now, he and his wife won't be able to sit with everyone they know from that job because they table is full.  When he originally was coming, I had split the table.  One person keeps messing up my whole seating arrangement!  argh.
    Sorry to threadjack.
  • Ours aren't due until the 15th, but people have really been sucking about getting back on them, we haven't received an RSVP for a week, we are paying for everything ourselves so it isn't a HUGE deal but its annoying... as you all probably know from my previous posts. :D

  • I'm hoping to pin down our final numbers this weekend! There's about a dozen or so who could go either way...

  • It's 1:15 in the morning, and I JUST finished our escort cards, which we have to bring to our final meeting with the reception tomorrow morning.  I still don't know about two people, one of my bridesmaids just called me bawling because her boyfriend isn't coming now, two friends invited dates literally two hours ago, and 5 people in FI family are still up in the air about coming or not...ugh!  At this point I don't care if our tables have 5 people at them or 10, I'm done!
