FH and I invited a former church member and his wife to our wedding. Our RSVP deadline was over a week ago. Today, we received their RSVP for not 1, not 2, but 12 people! How could they put 12 people on 1 RSVP?
IDK what to do. FH said he would call them when he leaves work. I hope it was a mistake.
@trugem: Did they just write then number 12? Or did the put 12 names on the response card? Maybe at first they thought 1 could come, but then they both could and forgot to scratch out the 1?
Let us know how this pans out!
Call them - ask for clarification. If they confirm they indeed RSVP'd for 12 (or more than you invited) then apologize for the "misunderstanding" and tell them that unfortunately you are only able to accommodate (whomever you invited) and that you hope that THEY can still join you.
Good luck and please provide an update!
Wow. Can you imagine if they actually did mean 12 people? That's straight up ballsy!
Good luck! I hope it was just a mistake!
I agree to just call and ask them how many people they meant to write down. I'm hoping it was a mistake and like PP said, they just forgot to scratch out the 1. But if they didn't just explain that you're sorry but you don't have space/budget/means to have all twelve people.
You definitely need to call for clarification. If they did put 12, you should ask politely tell them that you only have 2 spaces reserved for them. 12 people at my wedding would up our total bill by a TON of money (extra table, linen, centerpiece, chairs, plates, silverware, food, beverages)--
They wrote the number 12 for the number of people attending. I can't imagine how they could bring that many people.
Maybe at first they thought 1 could come, but then they both could and forgot to scratch out the 1?
Hopefully that is the case.
Mannn I really hope that was an error on their end because if not I'd retract my entire invite. That's just rude. Lol
Wow... I'm seriously hoping that was an error! Who tries to bring 10 additional guests?! Let us know what they say!
WHOA - that is a lot of people! They can't honestly have meant to put 12...that seems ridiculous! Hopefully, it's just a mistake.
Wow, if they are really RSVPing for 12 people, they are NUTS. That's beyond rude!! Even rude people would think that's rude!
You NEED to call asap, but I'm sure they messed up and only two of them will be in attendance. I can't even think of ten people my fiance and I would want to bring along with us to a wedding! LOL
lol they can not have really meant 12. They probably mean to cross out the 1. or maybe they are playing a joke on you (not funny!)
They did not answer the phone when my FILs called. FILs sent them a text message (I'm pretty sure it was along the lines of you can't bring 12 people). lol
Apparently, my FILs believe that the people are trying to add on their kids (and their spouses) and grandchildren.
Oh my. Is that a new record on the Bee for RSVP add ons (on a single RSVP)?
invite 2, RSVP TWELVE PEOPLE!
please come back and tell us what they said - i know i shouldnt say i cant believe it (because guests keep surprising me) but really.. TWELVE!
I really can't believe it myself. I have to laugh. I'll come back and post what they said as soon as I find out.
ETA: Yes, it was on a single RSVP.
We addressed it as Mr. and Mrs. SoandSo, not Mr. and Mrs. SoandSo and Family, or any other variation which would have led them to draw the conclusion that it was okay to have 12 people on a RSVP.
Wow lol! That's just... wow!
I really wish there was a such thing as a fool-proof RSVP.
Omg, 12?!?! Wow!
Curious to know what they were thinking...
I really wish there was a such thing as a fool-proof RSVP.
i mocked one up the other day for another thread.. but im pretty sure emily post would faint if she saw it :)
I'm sorry to laugh at your expense, but who does this!? Wow! Please keep us updated!
Wow! Really hope that was an honest mistake on their part lol.
Oh my dear! That's ridiculous!
I had a guest RSVP for 6 people, and when I asked him "WTH" he said that was including (like you said), all his kids, their significant others. But still....12?! Sheesh
I really think it was a mistake. Like they forgot to cross out the 1 when they wrote in the 2.
@CorgiTales: I know me too!
I want to know what their response was to your FI's text!
Good luck getting this one figured out. Hopefully it was just an innocent mistake and they're not trying to bring 12. I'm sure if they really did RSVP for 12 and you explain you only invited two, they will understand.
Pshaw! Come on, whisper it to me, are these people Africans? 'Cause I know my peeps can pull some BS like that. I kid you not, I've already warned my mother, no crossing out of names and adding folks I don't know. Your invite might get yanked!!
I'm handing out the best response award on this one if they seriously ment it. Any update?
That has to be a mistake. No one can be that inconsiderate. It is funny though.
woooooooooooooooow. can't wait to hear what they have to say!
Oh man, that is amazing. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they just messed it up. Can't wait to hear what happened!
Seriously, I think that it might be a cultural thing! I friend of mine was telling me recently that it's normal for people of her custom to bring the whole extended family. Still, I think it's very presumptuous! Good luck!
