About what percentage of your Declines didn't bother to RSVP "No"? My
"Please RSVP by" date isn't until next week, so I'm not too worried
about it, I've just had a surprising number of people mention that they
are sad they won't make it, and they just "figured I'd know since they
didn't RSVP". I guess they thought the card with the little check boxes
and the envelope with our address and a stamp on it were just because we
like extra work and postage? (sorry, feeling a little crabby this
morning).
Did you check with any of your guests who didn't RSVP
by the time your final #s were due (at least the ones you expected to be
a yes/have at some point in the past indicated they were hoping to
attend)? One of FI's Aunts said she didn't bother to send her "Yes" back because she "told FMIL back when we got engaged that she wanted to attend." I just don't want a bunch of those "yes" surprises.
