    Cause I always appreciated seeing them.

     

    Total Sent: 93

    Total YES: 69

    Total NO: 24

     

    74% said yes.

    100% of in-towners said yes (although we had a semi-destination wedding to our hometown so only 18 guests still live there - not even we do anymore!)

    so out of the 75 people for whom it would be a destination, 51 said yes, so 68% of people from out of town are able to make it.

    Hope that's helpful to some! I can't believe just how small and intimate our wedding is now going to be!

    @soontobemrandmrsfinck:

     

    Yes I should mention ours were due June 15 (which granted, is an early reply date, but still), and after we sent reminders to those who hadn't replied, it took until today - 2 weeks later to get them all in. So annoying! Hope you hear from them soon.

    Cool! We are in the same boat too (it's a destination wedding for most, about 80% will need to travel). Thanks for the report!

    With one week until deadline, out of 214 invited, we only have 52 acceptances and 26 declines... that's less than 50% reply rate!  Hopefully I get a huge bunch of these things in the mail this week, or we'll have a lot of people to call!

    Just got off a lengthy convo with my mom and based on verbage + some actual RSVPs recieved. It looks like our #s are as follows:

    Adults:       95

    10 & under: 8      

    5 & under:   8

    Total:       111

     
    It'll change I'm sure but that's a pretty # to be at! We need to reach 100 adults minimum, shouldn't be a problem. So everything else is fluff. Our ideal total # is to be at 120. Which I'm sure we'll exceed.

    Yippee!

    P.S. My breakdown is bc 10 & under are half price (up to 10 kids) then 5 & under are all free.

    Due July 10th

    Invited: 91

    Yes: 48

    Maybe: 2

    No: 22

    Outstanding: 19

    It looks like we're heading to a 60% rate. Most of our guests are older and have to travel. I think only 10 guests are local. We are having the wedding where we live, our families live further away.

    The first week after the went out we had anywhere between 5-9 cards daily and it was super exciting. Now we're at 1-2 cards a day, but sometimes none. Ugh! I was so excited to open and see them everyday. Don't these people know I want to track their answers in my fancy new spreadsheet?

    @sgarrisson2- We only sent our out last week and I am not looking forward to when the responses start dying down. What else would I check the mail for?!

    My son's wedding is July 24 (3 weeks yikes!) and the final count to the caterer was due last Friday.  They gave us an extra week to nail down the slackers and here is the result:

    240 invited

    170 accepted

    70 regrets (or those who can't get their act together enough to make a decision so  we are counting as a NO!  They better not show up!)

    The wedding is a semi-destination wedding 4 hours away at the beach college town where most of the guests used to live, so more guests accepted than we thought would actually.

    The RSVPs keeping coming in! But we just got one where the the couple RSVP'd with their two kids. We specifically addressed the outter and inner envelopes to just the parents so we could avoid the no kids talk. Ah, here we  go!
