I am so far behind!! I just sent out my invites last week.... I've gotten back 7/40 though.
40 people/122 have replied...I don't know why people didn't just do it right away when they got the invite 3 weeks ago!
We sent ours out about a week and a half ago. So far I have 1/24 back and it's a no. So that's really frustrating so far. We have two and a half weeks.
Our RSVPs are due back on 2/12. Here are our numbers so far.
285 invited
90 Yes
8 No
187 Not ret'd
Our RSVPs are due back on 2/7 for our 3/5 wedding. Here are our numbers so far:
95 invitations sent/197 people invited
48 invitations returned
64 people accepted
35 people declined
Kinda sad to have so many no's! :(
It still blows my mind that We have so few back. I like seeing all the detailed numbers instead of just the percent. That is why I am back to do this over.
I am currently at 22% back with them being due on Feb 7th.
84 Invites sent for 152 people
2 Returned for bad address
24 yes and 11 No
So far 43 people are attending our wedding.
I had really thought that I would be over 50% back by the 7th. However, I am thinking that we are going to be lucky if we get 25% instead.
@Nola: I'm hoping we get more RSVPs today when the mail comes. It's been two weeks and we have one RSVP back and it's a no so that's kind of frustrating. We sent out 25 invites in all, invited I think 45 people (I may be counting wrong because in one count I included us and in one I didn't).
@mandb122: Our first few weeks it was really a hit or miss on getting them. This past week we have been 1-2 a day. I don't get why people don't just send them back when they get them unless they have to figure out if they are going to travel or not.
@Nola: That's why I'm confused. And we see some people tomorrow and I'm really hoping they don't try to hand them to us because we put stamps on them. I guess I realize some people have to look into traveling but our parents and siblings haven't sent them back yet but already have days off and places to stay.
@mandb122 : It annoys the shit out of me but I found that people like our family or wedding party didn't get why they needed to send them back because we KNOW they are coming. I have said if I didn't want it back I wouldn't have put the stamp on it. What a waste of money. Oh an the one that pissed me off was yesterday FH said something to his brother about sending it back to US. "I'll just drop it off at mom's house." WHat the heck his mom has NOTHING to do with any part of the wedding. FH told him just drop it in the mail we put a stamp on it for you to put it in the mail box.
@Nola: I'm just waiting for it to be handed to us tomorrow. Because I'll either tell them to put it in the mailbox because of the stamp or just put it in for them if we're near a mailbox. I know we know they're coming but it's nice to get mail and to see in writing that they're coming. If we didn't want to know that, we wouldn't have paid for the stamps.
Eesh. I sent mine out yesterday for my 3/25 wedding. Keeping my fingers crossed that the postcard RSVPs mean easier quicker responses since people can just pop them in the mail box.
@sleepyrebel: I also did the postcard RSVP. I think it is a difference in the people you invite.
We also did a postcard, and we have 40% back with two weeks left. When FI's grandma got the invitation and looked at the RSVP, she called FMIL and asked if she was supposed to use her envelope...haha!
We sent out 55 invites for a total of 87 people. They had an RSVP return request of Jan. 24. We've gotten 48 of them back so far, with a response of 61 yes's/18 no's. I'm in touch with almost all of the missing offendors by phone/Facebook and most of them are just waiting on a few final travel details to make a final confirmation.
Based on that response, we sent out 4 more invites (for 6 people) last Wednesday, with an RSVP by date of Feb. 7. We haven't heard anyhing from any of them yet.
I sent our invitations out a week and a half ago and have gotten two out of 62 back - both yeses. One was handed to me! I was like, 'you totally made me waste 28 cents!' I wouldn't normally care, but my invites ended up taking way longer and costing way more than I anticipated! They are due March 1st.
I think today I decided that most of the people that havne't answered me aren't going to before the deadline. I want to send out a few other invites but am not sure how to do the RSVP date since I can't use the post cards that I did for everyone else. HMMMM
We are having a small wedding. We sent out Save The Dates in October then we sent out our invitations on January 2nd with a due date of February 1st. We sent out 60 invitations (74 people) and have received 59 RSVPs.
65 people have RSVPd yes
8 people have RSVPd no
On January 28th I started texting people who hadn't responded and that seemed to help. We were surprised that almost everyone said yes. Some people told us that the Save The Dates really helped.
ours were due to us yesterday, and we only have 4 phone calls to make. I put something on facebook about a week ago as a "gentle" reminder to people that they were due, and we got a lot of responses right after that! We invited 158 and 125 are coming, which I am more than ok with because 158 felt HUGE to me.
I had similar problems with my RSVP's. On the due date (Jan. 15th), I still needed to hear from 80 out of 205 guests!! That's including counting in some people I knew were coming, so it technically was more like I needed to hear from 90 people. Rediculous.
How difficult is it really to figure out your schedule, check yes or no, and drop it in the mail box? Really? So... ya, I had to track down all those guests. It just seemed like such a waste to me too. Most of my guests said they "forgot" or "lost track of time." And, admittedly, I had a 6 week out RSVP date instead of the traditional month, and I did send them over the holidays, so I probably brought it on myself.... but still.
I have 26 confirmed guest and the R.S.V.P date is Feb 14th. We invited 146 guest. The waiting game gets frustrating at times! lol
We have 16 confirmed guests with an RSVP date of 2/20, invited 132. It's funny when you have RSVPs from people on the other coast already and some you're missing from people in-state!
we officially hit the 100 mark this week.
214 invited
104 accepted
8 nos
so... half of them 2 days before the rsvp is "due" on the 12th. I'm kind of amazed that I put the stamp on the freaking envelope and people still haven't sent them back. It's like no one gets that their rsvp effects us monitarily. I DIY'd our invites, but dang are stamps expensive.
I asked for the cards back by Feb 19th. As of yesterday I've received TWO back. Yes, TWO. We had a total of fifty-something with 21 households.
We've received a few verbal "yes, we're coming" but from people who have told us yes all along anyway, and I have emailed some who have declined in email. I have begged for the cards back. One thing I have told folks is that I want the cards for a scrapbook and that seems to motivate them more than any other reason!! Even though those people still haven't sent them back they now seem more willing to do so. ugh. I am more stressed at this point though about those who still don't know, can't decide, and want to tell me "later". I mean, the others who haven't sent the cards back but at least told me yes or no are helping me somewhat. The "I don't know yet" people are causing me stress! Especially since one of those includes a family of four. So it's not just plus or minus one person as a possibility, you know?
@Nola: We are wedding day twins!
We have gotten 90 YESs and 5 NOs so far. I was expecting more nos, actually... but still waiting on several.
@rose_emogene: YIPPIE for date twins
Final numbers: 78 no, 77 yes. I guessed we'd have 75 yeses, so that's pretty darn close! Woohooo!
We invited about 85 people and our total guest count is 62, plus we're feeding the photographer and videographer. We were shooting for a small intimate wedding for about 60 people or less, so I think we've accomplished that!
My wedding is in 23 days and we still havent heard from 4 people lol. We invited 240 (read: last minute unplanned family invites) and are at 123 yes and 113 no.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
Where are you guys at so far with your RSVP's?
I am so stressed because we have only got back 20% of them back and have less than 2 weeks for them to be all back. I am pretty sure we will be making a ton of calls.
So let's see girls how many have you got back?
