We have gootten about 50% of our RSVP's back with 70 yeses and 5 declines. Kinda scary considering we invited the maximum number of people that will fit in our venue. How have your RSVPs coming in and how do you feel about it?
I've gotten around 10-15% of the RSVPs and the deadline is 6/7. I don't know why people take their time dropping it off at the mailbox or going on the wedding website to RSVP. But to be fair, I did take over 2 wks to do the same thing to my cousin's wedding. I guess it's human's nature to procrasinate.
Our deadline was 5/24 but I made it early. FMIL did not get the addresses for FI's side of the family (distant cousins mostly) so those were sent in late May with an RSVP of 6/24. But now FFIL wants to invite some co-workers so I still have a third round of invites to print, stuff, seal, stamp and mail.
I was just telling my cousin I have never RSVP'd to anything on time until now. I guess it's karma. Hehe.
We've gotten 21 of 35 rsvps back, with 44 confirmed adults + 6 kids. Reply date is 6/9, so hopefully will get more this week. (I'm actually still waiting for one from one of my bridesmaids, actually! But I know she'll be there. :P )
I got quite a few back right away, within a couple days of mailing them out. Now, with the deadline of June 5th, I've only gotten about 25% back. I'm getting scared! Do people typically RSVP last minute? About what percentage don't RSVP and do people end up calling?
my invites won't go out until next year, but it will be my karma, too, because i never rsvp on time for anything!
I have received 35 our of 54 responses, of them we had:
30 accept (for 60 people), and 5 decline (13 people).
2 of the declines were total surprises (people who "wouldn't miss it for the world"). We are still 7 weeks out so we are going to offer invitations to a couple people we wouldn't fit before.
Our RSVP date is June 6th and we have 70% of our RSVPs are in!!! Our acceptance rate is about what we thought, so we're doing okay. Its nice to get real mail every day!
Our 'on or before day' is today May 31 - we have received 26 RSVP's back out of 56. We have had not one "can't make it" My dad is going around inviting random people and just calling me after the fact to tell me about it which is stressing me out as I only rented so many chair covers and chairs and sashes and table runners and we are getting close to the big day!! EEK - I wish he would stop that - not only that but there is only so much room in the hall and I am worried that he will push us over.
I also had one of my aunts and uncles RSVP for 6 - the invite was to them (2 people) and they added on 4 ... another big EEK!!! But I have to say I am getting pretty exicted!!
Our RSVP date is June 12th.
Our invites just went out at a week ago and our deadline is 6/20 so we're just starting to get them back. But so far we've gotten about 20% back and there were no surprises. Everyone who we predicted would decline/accept has done exactly what we thought they would. So that's going well. But we haven't heard from the people who we weren't really able to guess about so we'll see...
@pammyd- i am feeling the same way! My FIL's and my mom keep adding. They do not care that this is extra work for my friend who made the invites herself and me who has to assemble them and send them out! Plus, we are nearing the six week mark and don't want to send invites too late.
Also, we said single guests (as in were not in relationships at the time the invites were sent) were not permitted to bring guests unless they were family, because our friends are all friends and will know lots of people. Now, everyone is talking crap or assuming they can bring a guest. I guess nobody googles etiquette everyday like I do!
We're a week and half past our reply date (May 21st) and are still missing 15 reply cards out of the 56 we originally sent out.
I sent my invites at the end of April. My deadline is 6/4 and so far I've gotten responses from my side of the family and only have 4 invites pending from my list. My fiances family are dragging their feet. I've only gotten 4 responses from his side and one of those responses was from a cousin of his that said he was bringing all four of his children in addition to his wife. We are not having children at our wedding so you can imagine how frustrated I will be when my fiance's family starts responding and they think they can bring the kids. They have for days until my deadline and then i'll have to hit the phone.
Our RSVP date is June 18. Invites were mailed May 12. We have 25% back as of today.
@ZoeKat- have to smile at your username- "kat" is my nickname and "zoe" was a front runner in our list of girl names!
We invited 300 (knowing 115 for sure would not be able to come due to finances), right now we are estimating to have about 150 people, which is what we wanted ideally. Our RSVP date is 6/3
Our invites went out a week and a half ago, and our RSVP deadline is June 20, so really the responses have just started coming in. So far we have 22 yesses and 4 nos. From word of mouth, our turnout is going to be very high. Those 4 nos were already expected (two are elderly family members who were invited, but we never expected to actually travel to our wedding).
Now let's see if everyone else manages to get their reply cards back to us in a timely fashion. We shall see...
Our RSVP deadline is TODAY - and we have received 41 out of 46 so far - and only one negative. I really hope to hear from the rest soon!
we had to call 5 the last week.... and they all ended up coming
invited 230 ended up with 210
We got almost all our RSVPS back. I found that we got lots of accepts to start out with before the declines started trickling in so I wouldn't worry too much! We're currently at 87/130 for acceptances with around 20 declines and only a couple left to chase up.
There's still a few weeks till our RSVP date, but I've heard from probably 20 ppl about how much they liked our invitations and yet still have not received any cards! I'm hoping it was the holiday weekend and this week will be better.
I am in the same boat, my RSVP date is June 25th. I seen a bunch of family friends over the weekend and they were all talking about hotel reservations, how cute the invites were etc...but No replies. Also, we haven't received any replys back from our wedding party. Our wedding party we have 8 attendents each and 2 ushers, plus their families. Do they just think they don't have to RSVP? I'm so confused!
My RSVP date was today. And there are SOOOO many non-replies! Um someone please tell me that out of 160 people invited more than 66 are actually going to come??? Im soooo upset, why do people think they dont have to send an RSVP back? They could check a box on a card and send it back, or RSVP online, Not that hard to do. And i found out this weekend that my brother isnt coming either. So yay. :(
We have only received 13 RSVP cards back out of 63. Getting a little nervous! And they are all yesses so far. We really need some no's to fit everyone into our venue! Crossing my fingers!
a little venting here needed right about now...RSVP's were coming in steadily for the first couple of weeks and now they have just STOPPED. we received one total last week. outside of my immediate family and a few of our friends, NOTHING. whats a little worriesome is that NO ONE from his family has sent back the RSVP's, yet we have had to put out a few fires regarding his extended family (FI has a HUGE family!!) that we could not invite who thought that one invitation for his dad meant an invitation for the ENTIRE family......so my frustration lies in people thinking they can bring whomever they want, but then no one RSVP'ing...like they dont think they need to send (the postage paid) envelope back to us...
end vent!
Our RSVP date is today too and I have 16 out of 50 guests who didn't reply. grrr......
our deadline was yesterday and mr. sew's side is almost all good to go, all yesses. pretty much no one from my fam rsvped at all, and our friends are a good 50/50. i'll give it a week or so before calling around though.
Well - my RSVP deadline was today - and we have no more responses than yesterday. The slackers have 1 week until I begin harassing them. There are still 21 RSVP's pending (GRRR).
We just sent out our invites this week and we have a reply date of 6/21. Reading these posts gives me hope that people will actually fill out their reply card and send it back to us. We sent out 100 invites today and the other 50 will go out tommorow. Can't wait to post about all the rsvp's that I get :)
We sent invites early (no STDs), and so far we have 35 out of 120 people attending. !?
I am not sure what to do at this point. We're trying not to freak out. Some family members have said "yes" but haven't sent the thing, some are hemming & hawing (really? Who isn't sure, weeks from a wedding, whether or not you'll have a plane ticket?) and others have completely disappeared, we can't find them at all. :::sigh:::
We had a bit of a torrent of RSVPs at first, and now we have a trickle... I get excited to see an email from our web, and then see it's from someone who we already knew was coming (like MOH, BM etc!)
and then there are the ones who have texted or in an email or told me they are coming, but no proper RSVP from them saying what food preference they have!
I shouldn't complain - we have 67 coming already, and only 9 no's so far - which leaves about 40 people who haven't replied yet
Our deadline isn't for another 2 weeks - so I guess I can only chase after that.
Sad though this week, as some friends who were coming from abroad had to cancel (they had flights and whole holiday booked around the UK), because of medical reasons.
Our RSVP date is June 10th...coming up! We sent out 139 invites and have 68 still out...so hopefully they start to pour in this week! Otherwise I have them all numbered so my mom and his mom can start calling and following up the no replies so that we can get a head count!
I've got about 50% of my RSVP cards back but the deadline is on Thursday (June 10th). I'll give people a week after that and then I'll start calling them.
I have gotten 2 RSVP cards that were blank. One had 2 attending marked, but no names of who was attending (i guess it's a suprise). The other was blank and marked that they weren't attending. Come on ppl it's not so hard to fill out a RSVP!~
Our deadline is in 2 weeks and we still have a TON of RSVP's that haven't come in. I'm really hoping that people get on it and start sending them in! So far I think I've received about 100 with roughly 82 yeses. (340 total invited... yikes, mom and dad!)
I don't know about anyone else, but when I get something like that in the mail, I send it right back the day I get it so I KNOW that they can get their numbers accounted for!! Oy...
I'm in the process of RSVP stalking people. We did online RSVP and I totally e-mailed the link to a bunch of invited coworkers today prompting a bunch of RSVPs. we'll wait until this weekend to email friends and family. about 1/3 of our invitations are no response.
Our RSVP deadline was today. Of 71 invitations, we have received 52 RSVP cards. We're still missing 19 -- 2 of which I already know are no's, so I guess I don't have to track them down. That still leaves 17 delinquent RSVP-ers. We're giving them til the end of this week (hopefully a few more will roll in), and then it's time to track everyone down.
Oh, and we're at 86 confirmed guests so far. There are another 15 out there who have verbally told me that they are coming, but no RSVP card yet, so it looks like we'll be just over our goal of 100 guests :-)
We mailed our invitations about two weeks ago, and our deadline is June 30, so another 10 days from now. We've had a steady stream of RSVPs since about two days after we put them in the mail. Literally every day we've got another two or three cards in the mailbox, it's a nice present at the end of the workday. No surprises yet, which is reasonable since nearly our entire guest list we know for certain whether they're coming, and have known for months. I'm impressed by how reliably the RSVPs are coming back and how quickly, and I wonder if it's in part because we waited until a mere 7 weeks out to mail them, and made the deadline so soon after people got them - like, that made them think they ought to drop them in the mail right away, instead of thinking they'd take care of it later and putting the card away somewhere where they'd forget about it.
