Another RSVP question/rant

transcriber87 · July 2012

Well, the date for my RSVP's to come in is this Friday, the 20th...out of the approx. 80 invites I sent out, I only have gotten back 13!! Yes 13 with a total of 37 (some have big families)...Our number we gave back in March to the venue was 100...We have a wedding site on FB and my Mom put out a 'gentle' reminder to the ones who have said they are coming to please don't forget to mail your RSVP cards this week, they are stamped and ready to put in the mailbox, even if not attending to please send them back. WTH? It looks like we will be doing alot of calling I guess starting next week or the week after? Maybe ppl. with put them in the mailbox ON Friday?

I understand your pain. We still have a few that are out and haven't heard from. My fiance` even sent out a reminder to his family that hadn't replied yet that hotel reservations needed to be made by a certain date and never heard anything back from them. I understand that not everyone can make it to the wedding, but just to get back to us if you can or can't make it would be helpful. We are having assigned seating, so what if these no RSVP's show up and we didn't count them, do we still assign them a seat or do we just put up an extra table to include the no RSVP section!?!?I guess we will be making phone calls to people if we don't hear from them by next week.

As if we aren't stressed enough all ready!! But, just keep smiling, I have been told if something doesn't go as planned no one will notice and may be the memorable moment of the day.

None of my fiance's moms family has responded to the shower invite or the wedding invite. I personally do not care for my fiance's mom or her family so it really REALLY ticks me off that they have not said anything. I am a get the invite, send the RSVP back person, you know you're going to go or not right away so is it that hard?! Gaah!!

Hang in there. I had a couple left out there and I sent everyone a text (those who had cell phones) that I was giving up their spot if they didn't send in their RSVPs. I got all but 2 back.

I know your frustration as much as many of the other brides on here. My RSVP date was 7/6 and I had only received about 45 responses back. That ment that I had to call all of the rest of my guests at total of 129 people!!!! I was not happy, some of them had told us that since we had just seen them at several other family functions that they had already said that "they would be there," they didn't feel the need to send back the RSVP. Others figured since they weren't coming that they didn't need to send them either. We had our reception venue paid in full for 150 people and I got 141 accepting. So I get a bit of money back but not until the week of the wedding. Hope this helps. Good luck and don't be too hard on the ones that flaked out on you by not sending back their RSVP's.
