Anyone have people change RSVP from no to yes? And not been happy about it?

I'm feeling like a horrible person. We received a decline from FH's aunt, cousin, and cousin's daughter in Indiana a few weeks ago. I've never met them so it really is of no matter to me -- and FH says they're kind of crazy so "it's all good".

Well, through the grapevine we've learned this weekend that his grandmother is considering paying for her daughter (the aunt) to fly out.

Maybe I'm a horrible person but I just want to be like, "Nope, sorry, you already RSVPed. It's in the computer, can't change it, nope nope nope."

I have absolutely no reason to feel that way -- don't know her, one person won't make that much difference in budget or wedding size ... but I really just don't want to deal with changing any RSVPs! You said no, so your answer is no.

Totally ridiculous on my part.

Anyone else have people say no and then decide to come anyway?

    This hasn't happened to me. Yet. But I'm sure I'll have changes. And I'm of the same mind set. What your first answer is, it's final. I even feel like those that don't RSVP by the due date should be put in as in automatic no. I know it's not really realistic considering some of the return rates I've seen on here. But a girl can dream. People shouldn't be rewarded for rude/inconsiderate behavior.

    I felt the same way you did girl! On husbands side we had a few people who responded 'no'. But then through the grapevine, we were told they were trying to get off and work and there was a good chance they were going to get it off and they will be coming. I was pretty ticked off. We sent out STD 10 months in advance and invitations over a month in advance, that is PLENTY of time in my book to request off. We had only one person show up because they got off work. I never changed the seating chart or anything though. I had bigger and better things to worry about. My whole thing was, I don't have time to babysit and check up on people up until the wedding if they can still come or not. Once they RSVP, I tally their response and move on. After that I do not care. LOL

    I guess I didn't feel the same way, but I've always been this "understanding" person who sees all points of view. It can be a blessing and a curse.

    There were people who changed their minds and some who didn't show. Not a big deal to me, but I was only paying roughly $30/plate and figured it was worth it to me if they had shown.

    I didn't have to give final counts to the venue until 72 hours prior. Therefore, anyone who I had to follow up with up until then didn't bother me.

    I understand, i would tell them that we simply cant add you guys because the seats are full and the cater has the final estimate, they could attend the wedding maybe but not the reception? we will see you afterwards lol
