I'm getting really pissed off, am i being a bridezilla?

moomin8804, 2 July, 2009 at 18:12 Posted on Planning 0 7

Hi guys!

Well, we get married in approx 3 weeks (Where did the time go???)

Sent out the invites in April with an RSVP deadline on the invite of July 2nd, this was clearly stated on the invite. I did this so that by this time, i would know who was coming and could sort everything out. Well it's now July 2nd and i've had 13 RSVP's back, we originally sent approx 48 invitations!

From those that haven't RSVP'd yet there's been no phonecalls, no texts, nothing. H2B's mum hasn't even RSVP'd, but his sister has and they only live 10 mins apart and see each other every day! Am i being unreasonable in thinking this is just rude behaviour?

I'm prolly going to spend the weekend chasing these people aren't i?

*Sigh* Sorry for the rant, but it's just really wound me up today ☹️

    We never got rsvp's from most of h2b's family and friends which completely pissed me off. We had the decency to invite them, spend a heck of a lot money on doing so and they can't even rsvp. So no your not being a bridezilla at all. I'd text with 'Hi, We need to know if you are coming to our wedding within the next x amount of days so we can confirm numbers with the venue thanks x'.

    If they don't reply after that they don't have a place!

    I can't believe people don't rsvp.

    Hiya,

    No, you're certainly not a bridezilla.

    Think its a very common thing that people are so rude as not to reply.

    Ours weren't too bad for day rsvp's although some of grooms family just expected us to be telepathic as they never bothered to say and assumed we knew they were coming

    Its very frustrating especally when you spend so much time making them and even sending them early.... argghh.

    Had loads not bother to rsvp in night, worst culprits were work people who assumed I'd know they were coming.

    I fully understand and I'm sure you'll sort it out.... have a drink to keep you calm.

    Oh the joys of getting married. hhhmmmm

    Oh no - We are getting married in 2 weeks and we had an rsvp date of 15th May but still have a couple of replys outstanding.

    People were pretty good though tbh and we only had to chase a couple - I really think that it helped we put rsvp cards in with the invites though.

    I still think people should reply though rsvp card or not, you are not being bridezilla! Can you divide up the outstanding replies and have your Mum do your family, OH's mum do his and you and OH do the friends between you? BIt less for you to worry about that way?

    I'm getting married abroad so i sent my invites 2 months ago so i could give them as much notice as possible as people would have to save up. So far we've had 5 replies! I don't know why we bothered! x

    That is a real pain. As PG said you made the effort to invite them, let alone the cost, you didn't just presume they knew they were invited. They could at least phone/text you. Even if they said "Well obviously we're coming!"

    I think by the sounds of it we have been really lucky with our rsvp's. They were all back in good time with the latest being the day after the date.

    Hope you get it sorted soon.

    Unfortunately, what is a small thing to one person (ie replying to the invite....and probably thinking its alright cus she's bound to know we'll be there and not realising 20 other people are thinking the same) creates a massive and time consuming problem to another(you)

    Don't worry....you're not being a Bridezilla at all.....in fact you don't even reach the Richter scale on that front.!
