I've had a couple guests and vendors tell me they never received their invitations even though the address I had for them was correct.

Anyone else have this issue? Does the postal service just suck donkey balls or what? Do people 'steal' invites? Help me understand!

Postage problems?  Were they of an unusual size/shape/thickness?  Hard-to-read ink color or calligraphy style?

 That's all I can think of, but you'd think they'd get returned to sender in those cases.  S orry I can't help more =/

nope, all of it was right on, i handed them to the postal woman and she said it was great. the addresses were done through a printer so no issues with legibility.

my planner just said it's the way of the usps.... she said guests will get the invites months from now or ill get them back months from now.

very frustrating considering the $$ and labor sunk in them.

I had one of of 127 not get there - but the person who didn't receive it is kind of flaky and would be the kind of person who would get it and not remember. :) But I have heard of things like this - and actually I've had five or six people tell me that they sent their RSVP postcards back and I never got them. It sucks, but it does happen!

And glittergrl, your wedding is in two weeks! I hope the people knew about the wedding before you called them to see if they're coming! :) 

thanks ladies!

yeah, I was REALLY LATE at getting my invites out. Try --- 2 weeks ago! ACK!

BUT.... everyone got a Save the Date.... which is why it's weird that a couple people haven't received them as it's the same address the stdc went to and they recieved that.

oh well. the thing is, my invites are pretty elaborate and i don't want to send more out, only have a few extras left. what's the best way to handle this?

We are sending out rsvp packs to people who are coming ---- i know they are coming as one of them is a friend doing my hair. should i just send her the rsvp pack instead?

I'd just say call them, tell them you're sorry and you don't know what happened, but you don't have any invites left, and then just tell them they'll be getting an rsvp pack and to let you know when and if that gets there!

Don't stress, give them a call and fix it.

In some cases tho...people lose the invitation and they don't wanna admit it. It happens. 

I had one person not receive hers - who angrily called my mom to ask why she was the only one of her 6 siblings not to be invited - yikes! All the others showed up and the one we re-sent to her (after apologizing profusely, etc) arrived safe and sound a few days later. It's over a year later now, and neither one of us ever got the original invite. So I think it just happens sometimes!
