  Wow crazy only 2 people aren't coming!  Is everyone local?  Glad you got answers from everyone though! 
  
  We are still 3 and 1/2 weeks from our RSVP date and I'm dreading that day hitting and not having a lot of answers.  We have about 20% in so far which isn't too bad IMO (especially considering in the 80% who haven't answered are my parents, and almost all of our WP and their significant others who we know the answer of their RSVP).

  I had to call about 10 people that never sent their rsvp's back.
  
  Shockingly about 20 people are out of state.  The two people that can not come are my two cousins who are in college.  One is in Fl and the other is in Wyoming (I think).  I was almost expecting all of the out of staters to not come (other then my dad of course) who is flying in in a couple of weeks and spending the whole month in CT
  
  My parents and my WP were also on my call list lol  I told them I need to know if your bringing dates!?!?!?

  Wow, that's incredible that almost everyone is coming! I bet it will be really fun to have everyone sharing the day with you. 

  
  

  Our RSVP by date was August 1st but there are still some coming in so I'm giving it a few more days. I'm not looking forward to starting to call people/ hunt them down! I think we have about 36 RSVPs outstanding and most of them are FI's family so he can have those calls.

  Do people think you don't have to RSVP because they are in the WP?  Okay my parents are one thing considering FI and I are living with them right now haha but the WP should.  That's weird to me!  Especially if you have a meal choice (we don't but we have online RSVPs so you wouldn't know that until you were at the RSVP link lol).  The wife of one of our GM went on our site to request songs (she requested 12...no exaggeration) but didn't RSVP.  Kinda silly.

  I dont know what it wrong with people lol We dont have a food choice either but alot of our WP are single and I gave them the options to bring guests.  People are just crazy  I guess haha  That is very funny that she requested songs without even RSVPing yet.  Fingeres crossed that you get them all back soon!

  We got all of our RSVPs back - because we were well under our minimum, FI invited a few additional friends (yes, they know they're 'b-list', and yes, I know this is taboo - we had such big families that our friends were bummed we couldn't invite them, so now that family has said no, they're excited) so we're waiting to see if those people can definitely make it or not.  But we've got over a 40% decline rate!

  That's crazy that only 2 people said no! My RSVP date is a month from tomorrow. I'm actually surprised at how many I've gotten back so far, and a little sad at how many no's I already have. Most of the no's are people who RSVP'd without a +1, but it still hurts to see that number at the bottom of my ticker, lol.

  Appx. half of our guests did not respond by our 8/1 deadline.  I gave those names to my friends to make calls this week.  I am hoping for about 10 more NOs so that we are under our 200 max.
