    Hi Ladies,

    Oh what a delight to open my mailbox yesterday evening and see all those beauties (11 rsvp postcards)...Yay!!! Even though our RSVP deadline is not until March 9th and guests just received their invitation late last week, I am sooooo thankful for those early birds that are making my life so much easier:-)

    Ok, so let the fun times begin:

    Mailed: 125 invitations (approximately 180-188 people, yeah I stopped counting...lol)

    Yes: 10 postcards (17 guests)

    No: 1 postcard (2 guests)

    Wooohooo! My guests were pretty proactive about sending their responses but towards the end, I had to remind a few. In the end, we received them all. I hope it continues to run smoothly for you.

    Exciting!  That's so much fun, I can't wait to send my invites out!  Although this part is the thing I'm most stressed about.  I have a feeling that if some people RSVP no, it will affect our relationship... oh man :)

    YaY! I'm only having about 100 people at my wedding, but we've gotten about 50 RSVP's back so far! Our deadline was February 15, but I'm sure we'll get some more rolling in...& some people just don't RSVP even if they are coming! They just assume you know!

    Yay!  Thats a good number.  We've only heard back from less than half of ours so far and we're a month ahead of ya.  Gotta feeling we're gonna be making some phone calls and sending some emails when our deadline comes around.

    Ours seem to be coming in slowly but steadily. My side definitely has it more together than FIs. I am just ready to figure out numbers and tables!

    SOOOO exciting!!!  Does it make everything feel real?  I feel like I am planning something that is so far away that it feels like it is not real.... or maybe I am having a bad day.

    It has been fun getting those little cards back.  The other fun thing has been almost daily a package waiting to be opened. I never expected to receive wedding gifts this soon!

    After going through all this planning with my daughter~ I WILL never be slow about sending a RSVP back.  

     

    Seriously it has given me just NEW MANNERS... the cost of venues, food, entertainment~ to me not answering swiftly is now just on the R U D E list!

     

    I will NEVER be late or slow again.

     

    Congrats for getting so many back, hopefully they all continue to roll in.  I 've read so many "SAD" threads/posts about this.

    @Tampamom, thanks....I hope all the other guests think like you and send them in asap!

    @msgthoney....I'm so sorry to hear that....I'm also afraid of that. Although we still have 2 weeks left, there are still a LOT of guests that need to respond. Good luck in getting guests to respond ASAP!

    @msgthoney and mrs2thedr, I'm right there with ya'll!  Our deadline is next week and we've still only heard from about half.  We had a serious lull this week with only one rsvp all week!  I hope it'll pick up right before our deadline on the first, although I know we'll be sending a lot of email reminders.
