*insert sarcasm here*
Look—I get it. It’s not easy to go to WeddingWire.com and simply click on your name saying you will be there, or, to send me a text saying you will/won’t be there. It’s a LOT of effort.
*end/sarcasm*
But you know…it’s about respect! The food/alcohol needs to be paid for in full by the last week of July, and without everyone telling me either way, it is going to drive me batty. I won’t be able to get an accurate head count, so I might be shelling more out than I need and have an overwhelming amount of wasted food/drinks. UGH.
Anyone else dealing with this??
Re: Can we discuss people not RSVPing?
I think you're stressing yourself out too early...it's only July 7th. Give yourself another week or so and then start calling people. Say, "Hey there! I was just wondering if you received our invitiation and if you were planning on making it. We need a final count by X date so I'm just calling to check in."
I can certainly understand your frustration. I provided a pre-addressed and stamped envelope in all of my invites. So all people have to do is write their name, lick it, and stick it in the mailbox. Easy peasy, right?
I mailed them at the end of June and I figured I'd get a FLOOD of them back right away but I am surprised to find that isn't the case. I think we've only gotten a handful back. We requested responses no later than 8/15 though so I have while before I can start harassing people! lol
I can relate with some impatience and a venue that is a little too savy with final numbers.
My final detail meeting is August 2 (wedding is September 5) and I had to get finals in before then so I set my rsvp date for yesterday.
For those who were not as savvy- we provided a formal rsvp. We will are waiting for 5 people.
