STDs don't really ask for a response and so I don't think it is common to get too many!
I just received a few people mentioning them in passing that they really liked them! Try not to let this bug you too much!
I didn't get a single solitary response and I was pretty surprised! I've decided not to care though, since there isn't much I can do about it. Don't worry, you're not alone!
Oh yeah, we didn't get a big response to our STDs either.
We did hear:
"Is this the invitation?"
"What is this for?"
"What am I supposed to do with it?"
We did get an awesome response to our invitations though--I know it sucks, but it's pretty common, I think.
We haven't sent ours yet, but I've never 'responded' to a STD ever.. I think "okay, I'll put that on my calendar" (the purpose of a STD) and don't actually acknowledge it to the bride or groom. I wouldn't worry - if you think it mean people aren't coming, I'd just reach out to them and ask.
I sent out my save the dates a week or so ago. I've gotten a few text messages and calls. My parents have gotten a few also. I wasn't really expecting to receive any. I have never responded to one. They don't solicit a response.
I wasn't expecting a "yes or No" response- just from close friends on facebook saying something like "I got your STD- yay!!" I wasn't expecting people to tell me whether or not they were coming, I just wanted them to be as excited as I am!! But I guess I'm super excited cause it's my wedding!!!!!!!!!
I've only had some family and a couple good friends mention they recieved them, im assuming everyone else did as well. At least i hope so, it has all our registry info on it! dont sweat the small stuff! there are so many other things to worry about.
STDs don't really beg for a response; they're just little FYIs. Unless you're talking about a response as in "I really like your STD" but honestly, I don't expect those either because most people don't frequent wedding planning websites and really don't know what they are. Most people probably took them and stuck them on their fridge and are just waiting on the invitation.
I sent mine out MONTHS ago, and besides immediate family I got no responses. I didn't really expect to. I think invitations are wayyyy more important. A lot of people choose not to do STD's at all.
I didn't think you needed to respond to an STD. I've never gotten one, but if I did, I would think "Okay, that's lovely" mark it on the calendar and move on. It's more of a heads up than anything else no?
I agree with Quietserenity. We got some really strange questions with people thinking it was the invitation and asking why the location wasn't on there. WOW!! I had to text people and make sure that they go them in the mail, because very few people said it on their own.
I have a lot of friends that told me they got the save the date and how beautiful it was...but I think its because Im kind of insecure about my "style" decisions...so they just want to make me feel good! haha. I did find out that one of my friends never received hers and she knew that she was supposed to. So she told me and I sent her another one.
BUT for the most part people did not say anything. Like people have said STDs dont usually need a response! So i wouldnt worry about it too much :)
I didn't really hear from people until the next time I saw or spoke to them. They would usually mention that they got it and it was nice or something. I was glad no one posted on face space about it b/c I wouldn't want all my 'friends' feeling bad about not being invited.
STDs are a relatively new thing and replies are not really expected.
i got only a couple 'responses' and that's probably only because i had sent them out about 2 weeks before my cousins wedding and everyone was in wedding mode and said they got them...but it was also the first time most of my family had seen me since we got engaged. i wasn't expecting any responses though.
I only got a small handful of responses, but I wasn't really expecting any, to tell you the truth. They don't say to respond on them and everyone I sent them to knew about the engagement so it's not like they were going to call me again to congratulate me or anything. There were a couple people I sent them to that I'm a little suprised haven't mentioned anything (people that hadn't yet commented on the engagement but knew about it, I figured the STDs would give them the perfect opportunity to say something), but I'm brushing it off. The actual RSVPs are what really matter, you know?
Don't worry, I didn't even get 10 people call me and tell me they received it.
STD's dont require a response and most people don't bother giving you one. We only received a couple comments or emails which was fine with me!

So we sent out our save the dates at the beginning of last week. We have only heard back from a handful of people that they received them. I was hoping to get messages on facebook/texts or phone calls. I'm just a little bummed that I didn't get that response. Anyone else not get the response they expected?
