Trying not to freak out..

...but it's what I do :(  My shower invites went out a week and a half ago and so far my bm told me only 6 out of 35 people responded.  The rsvp due date is not until the 7th but I am starting to worry that maybe nobody is going to come.  I KNOW I'm being a little crazy here but did anyone else have alot of late responses for their shower/wedding?  I wish she had never mentioned it because now I'm going to stress about it.

    Does it matter if a lot of people go to your shower? Personally I don't like attending showers, the wedding is all I care about - maybe others feel the same way, or people had to choose one over the other and would rather see you get married.

    Calm down and don't worry about things you can't control.

    I agree with entropicbeauty: don't stress about things you cannot control.

    FWIW: I gave my daughter a grad party last month and sent invitations asking for RSVP's. I heard from about 4 of the 20 invitations I sent out. Today's society, for whatever reason, simply doesn't have the proper etiquette I was raised with. It's terribly sad IMO.

    I had to track down 3 responses for my WEDDING, and we only sent out about 30 invitations.

    Whoever is throwing the shower will probably be following up with these people telephonically or with email, so you may as well turn over the contact info now. Laughing

    My mother's family is big into procrastinating lol, so everything is usually last minute with them. And they assume that people know they are attending and don't send one back. So I wouldn't worry too much about it! The RSVP's will start rolling in soon!

    until I had my own wedding, I was the person that waited until last minute to RSVP. From an outsider looking in, it's no big deal as long as they get your answer by the RSVP. It's sort of the idea, "why do it now, if I can do it later." However, now that I have been through the whole ordeal, I send my RSVP's right away to be considerate. I wouldn't worry until you reach that RSVP date. Even then, its prob not that ppeople aren't coming, they just get busy and forgetful. It will all work out!

    This is very common.  It don't matter if you provided the stamp to the rsvp envelopes ( which you should do) they still can't get those things in the mail box.  The most common response is ... " oh  i just figured you knew I was coming".   They have no idea until they are in the same shoes.  very stressful I hear you.
