Weddingbee boards

sent out the invites the first week of february

220 invites out

as of right now 80 yes and 6 no

We're having a semi destination wedding (i.e in our hometown but most guests coming from out of town!) So we sent our invites in Mid-January. Of 80 expected people for the ceremony so far we've had 3 nos, and 61 yes's which I guess is pretty good... however we also put March 1st as our RSVP date so we're still missing almost 20 responses with only a few days left til the 'deadline'! I'm not worried yet though, our wedding isn't until April 30th and the stragglers are mostly local friends who probably don't need to plan that far in advance and also probaly assume we just know they're coming - sure would be nice if they returned their menu choices though!!

Our wedding is April 2 and we mailed the invites mid January since we had a lot of out of towners on the list.

Of 102 total invites, we have 47 adults and 9 children confirmed. I expect maybe 5-10 more yes's. We were hoping for around 60 for the reception, so it looks like we'll be on target. A susbstantial portion of our list was out of towners who we didn't really think would come.

I sent ours out last week, February 15. We have about 150 total invites and so far 48 YES. Uggghh...I really hope we don't get the full 150. Lol

Mailed out: February 14th

# of people invited: 206

# of of yes: 23

# of no: 2

So far NO ONE in my family has responded, or the bridal party, parents of the groom, or anyone else that I definitely know is coming. It's really funny because at this point I'm joking saying "I won't know anyone at the wedding!" I am thankful that people are RSVPing quickly though. I'm sure that it will dwindle down as people procrastinate and forget. I think I gave people too long of a response window. (Until April 2nd)

It sure is fun checking the mail every day! I'm like "who is going to reply today?!"

Isn't it so much fun getting the RSVP's back?!  I can't wait to get home each day to check our mail.  We invited 91 and so far have gotten 43 yes and 13 no responses.  We are hoping for 75 guests.

Our invites went out the beginning of Feb. and we invited 150 people. Currently we have 75 rsvp for yes, and just 2 no's.  :"]]

I figured that we would have aboit 75 people, and now we might go above that!

We sent ours out 15 January.

We invited 187 guests,so far 49 yes and 26 no. I am kinda getting anxious because the deadline is March 1st. I have to get all the head count to my caterer, order rentals and such based on who is coming. I can't do that if we don't know how many people are coming.

We sent ours out sometime in early Feb.

We invited around 200 guests, with around 100 invitations going out. Right now we have around 70 coming( including us, his parents, our bridal party, my parents etc.) and 11 have declined. I think it has to do with the date though, because it is during Spring break for a lot of people so it is hard for some people to be able to show. We are waiting on a lot of his family and one side of mine. Can't wait to go look in the mail tomorrow!

We are hoping for around 125-150 guests :D

What deadline did most of you give your guests? We gave the date March 12th.

@AprilJo2011: I think it's really true! I think I gave people too long of a response window. Doh!

OMG! I sent out about 70 invites like Feb 10, and I know they all recieved them within two days, but I have only had 15 RSVP, and 2 no's. I am expecting about 30 of those invites to say no - they were family, that we should send invities but won't come. Now its freaking me out, because I  haven't recieved yes or no's from alot of people. I gave them March 5th as the deadline, so lets see how this works out or well we will be making a whole lotta phone calls! But yes, I get so excited when I see am email that RSVP has been recieved!

@AprilJo2011: You are right! I thought I was doing the right thing by sending the invites out 15  Jan. I also sent a save the dates and now when people call me about not booking their flights or hotel, I am kinda numb to it. I put all possible scenarios on our website. Even check flight prices every 2 weeks from all the cities majority of our guest are traveling from and put them on our websites. And people still ask me really annoying questions. If it was my grandma asking that is one thing but these are young people who are always on facebook and can navigate a freaking website. When I say I put everything on my website I mean it and I am so bummed that I did all that work and no one cares to look at it.
