We sent out our invites last month and have started to get our RSVP cards back. Some people understood how they worked and others didn't. Not a problem! I just loved getting the cards back in the first place. We have a small wedding planned and so only about 20 households received cards. Our deadline is the end of this week, and I just wanted to share a few things that occurred. We have until the end of the week to have a plan in place if we choose to call people or to designate a friend to call for us. My non-confrontational side is looking forward to this one!
1 - We received an RSVP back with no return address, no names written on the response card, and only the number 2 written in and "Accept with pleasure" checked off. The only clue to narrowing it down on who it's from is the post office's stamp reading "Atlanta Metro." We'll have to wait until after the date to inquire but I'm so curious!
2 - On the complete other end of the spectrum, we have someone who accepted and added 3 other people onto the RSVP. That one had to be diffused last night by my FMIL.
3 - The obvious: people not returning the cards because they assume I know that they are coming. Sigh...with the amount of money people spend on weddings, you'd think it would be a general consensus that making assumptions on who's coming and who won't is not the wisest course of action.
Do any of you have any crazy or quirky stories with the RSVPs you received? I thought we would escape these issues due to the size of the wedding, but was so wrong!
