Just RSVP already!

Me too! Postie stalker I am lately. My RSVP date is 31st July and only had a quarter back.ARGH!!!! Xx

Mine is july 25th and still waiting on at least a quarter of them

And don't get me started on the evening ones!!!! Just because it's only an evening invitation, I still need to know numbers!!!

I think the evening guests are the worse. We've been invited to several other weddings and are waiting on most of their replies (surely they would know better?) so I have made a point of getting their RSVPs made and sent to them within a couple of days.

Hope you all get yours through soon and don't have to do too much chasing x

And (another bratty, pouty point) hardly anyone has sent RSVP cards and I really wanted them to keep. But I do realise I am being rather unreasonable on that point lol.

Haha, my RSVP deadline was yesterday. There are only 2 people who haven't replied - my brother (who we also asked to be an usher and do a reading, no response although my mum tells me he's bought a suit!!) and OH's brother!

I sent rsvp cards in stamped addressed envelopes with my invites. My rsvp deadline came and went and iwas still waiting for half of them back!

Our RSVP date is Saturday, they've had over a month and we have a grand total of 4!!!!

i knew I ran this risk with not including the RSVP card but come on, it's really annoyed me!

This is something I am absolutely dreading.................. I like to be on top of stuff and track everything on excel. Finding out who was coming to my engagement party was hard enough as well as people cancelling the last minute, and that wasnt head count/cost critical.

Everyday I'm eagerly awaiting the postman but nothing :-(

Even our parents haven't rsvpd!! I know it's a given that they're going to be there but if that's how it works then there's no need for us to send invites in the first place!!

I'm getting more and more annoyed with each day!

Sorry for high jacking, just need to vent!

Should I put something on fb to remind people or just resign to the fact that on Sunday I'll be texting everyone? In which case I should've just saved myself to time and effort of making the invites and sending them in the first place!

Wow, I'm more annoyed about this than I first thought, lol!

With one week to go we were still waiting on RSVPs from a third of our guests!! I emailed them all and most replied once I had reminded them but there were a couple who I really had to chase. So annoying!!!

I put a subtle reminder on FB, saying how I was loving getting the RSVPs back. Obviously too subtle and hasn't kicked anyones backside to do it, even though some of them liked the friggen post. grrrrr.

Love it.

As for RSPVs go I have a cousin who said he his son and my aunt who is wheel chair bound couldn't make it. It was only speaking to another aunt that it came out aunt in the wheel chair was still trying to find someone to bring her. She didn't have a clue her son who is also her carer had declined the invitation. Went down like a lead balloon. Just glad we found out before it was too late organised her a lift and now she's coming.

Does anyone else find that the worst culprits are the people who have organised their own weddings?! They were the ones I had to chase.

A little strongly worded email or text along the lines of "we didn't hear from you, so we assume you're not coming" might work? It worked for a couple of ours who were then hugely apologetic.

I am so glad that's it's not just me!! Invites been out for 2 months, RSVP date 1st August and I've had hardly any back!!! People have been on Facebook chatting to my family about the wedding and that they will see them in November etc and still haven't had the decency to RSVP... Would be even more annoyed had I sent them stamped addressed envelopes!

I eventually got all my daytime invites back a few weeks ago so can actually plan tables and stuff. But evening ones went out with a deadline of the 31st July and not one reply yet. I know the people that are coming but when you say RSVP no matter who they are they should at least do what the invite said. Makes me mad, i would never leave it this late to reply to someone, half the people are married and been through it all as well so they should be the ones with the quick reply :-(

My RSVP was April 16th...

Im still waiting!! Had to chase up loads of people and OH cousin really annoying me!! Basically saying she won't know until the day if she can come (well passing this message on through family) or if she will bring her boyfriend!

You can't just turn up on the day if you feel like it!!!! There's the seating plan and menu choices argg!

Why do people find it so hard?!?!

My date is tomorrow and out of the 50 people invited only 9 have confirmed, that's not to say the others aren't coming they just haven't replied!!

At this point I'd be happy with a text or any acknowledgement!!

going to be sending lots of texts tonight!! Gggrrrr!

Our invitations went out in early February, our deadline was the 25th April. We still haven't heard from 37 people…. I'm not chasing them, I'm just not making them place cards, and thus they aren't getting food (I had a proper bridezilla strop over this. Most of the culprits are H2B's family - brothers and their families. All they had to do was write their own names on, tick a box and post. We even put the stamps on them!)

I've had three families decline for evening, but nothing from people that are attending! I know some people are coming, but none of them have actually told us - we just know through other people!

Bah!

Everyone invited to the day do has rsvp'd except one of my sisters, the bestman, chief bridesmaid, oh and every single member of H2B's family!!! Deadline is next Friday, and there are menu choices on the RSVP so no RSVP no food!!! Lol

had a few evening ones back even though the date for those is 2 weeks later, but I gave to admit before I went through this I was one of those totally guilty of not physically sending an RSVP to evening invites!! :-/ believe me I will respond within a week next one I get!!!!!

I am also stalking the postie, although I after all the eBay/amazon/etsy purchases I've made recently I feel I know him well enough to invite him as well lol!!!! :-)

xx

We have just over 10 days to go with ours & have only had around 1/4 back. We are really limited on numbers for the day and so are holding back some invites for evening guests incase some people decline and we can invite them to the day. Only problem being that if people don't respond either way it's a huge risk to send out extra day invites when the hotel won't allow more numbers!

The people who I thought would be terrible at responding have replied and it's close friends and family who have been slack!

X

I'd put something on FB, and text people too!

I don't understand why people don't reply quickly and properly to wedding invitations. It makes me think why do we bother spending so much time/effort on the invitations!

Oh for god's sake!!!! I told OH that some of his relatives hadn't RSVP'd yet so he rings them and then grins at me, expecting me to be all happy because they have now told him they are coming!

Grrrrr!! I've messaged the ceremony people who haven't replied yet, including my own SIL who damn well better be there because my nephew is a pageboy!!

I am about ready to scream at the evening people who haven't bothered to even look at the website, let alone RSVP. They have until August 2nd which really isn't that far away. They've only had the darn invitation for 2 months!!! I'm still waiting for 26, which doesn't seem that many until you add on all their plus-ones, husbands/wives and children.

Why is it so difficult????

I caved and just messaged some of those that haven't RSVPd yet! Just my cousins though and they know I'm really impatient lol.

Can't believe how close some of you are to your deadlines without RSVPs. Day after deadline day I will be on the phone lol x

Our invites went out in December with our Christmas cards, with a deadline to respond by the 30th June (even though we don't need to confirm numbers till 30th July). 6 months and 2 gentle reminders later, and we are still waiting for people to respond...
