A blank RSVP card??? Are you kidding me!!

All Smiles, on August 15, 2013 at 9:24 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 13

So I received an RSVP today from God knows who because this person decided Not to put their name on the card or check if their accepting or declining our invitation. Good thing I numbered them and was able to identify the person so I'll take it as a decline and keep it moving. Ain't nobody got time for that!

    I can't believe someone would do that. Hearing all these stories about RSVP's are scaring me for when I send out my invitations! haha

    I would call to check personally. Sometimes people don't think, I wouldn't assume it's a decline.

    They didn't even check if they were an accept or decline? That's a new level of stupid right there for it to be COMPLETELY blank.

    and yea, I wouldn't necessarily assume it was a decline. I feel like someone like that if they weren't coming, they just wouldn't have sent it back at all. (Not that no rsvp means a "no" because it's been warned time after time that it doesn't, but if I just wouldn't put it past someone who doesn't know/think to fill out anything on the card) I'd contact them and check.

    Ugghh I didn't want to put that much effort into contacting her since I had to first find out who she was. It happened to be one of my moms friend and let me add that my mother declined our invite so I'll take this as the same.

    So what do you do if she shows? for the sake of your sanity I would check. Don't check that's on you but we have already read about people who didn't and had unexpected guests so it's best NEVER to assume.

    @Gypsey I'm not upset that they forgot to put their name on the card But I am upset that they did not choose if their coming or not when it clearly gives them the option on the card.

    @Abbey lmao

    @ToomanyMistys my sister had warned me about this person being flaky, accepting invites and not show up which was why I decided to take this as a decline. I can double check just to confirm but what if I hadn't numbered the cards then what?? Someone would've been standing at the reception. Sorry.

    And this is why I AM actually putting the exact names of guests on the invite. 1 - so they can check exactly who is coming, who isnt. 2 - so hopefully noone tries to write in a name or extra # of guests...

    Sometimes you have to hand hold people, even if you aint got time for that, MAKE time for that. Because 50/50 this guest will show up & unhappy you didnt provide them a seat & food.

    Maybe they forgot to check it.....it could happen they were in a hurry thought they checked it and sent it back. It doesn't make sense they would go through the trouble to send a blank card, whats the point. If I were you, I would call to make sure. It could be awkward if you take them off the list and they show!

    Had you not of numbered them you would of still found out if she was coming or not because you would of had her on the list of no invites received (or also blank incase you got more) and then called to confirm. Plenty of people do it this way numbering just saves time so you don't have to wait until the RSVP date and then go through the list. Other than that it's pretty simple to find out who. Either way at least you know who it is. Smiley smile
