Do people usually respond after receiving Save the Dates?

I had a couple people respond saying they were cute and a couple of people respond that they would be out of town. They don't have to.

I've never responded to a save the date

I have never responded after I got a STD. I just pop it on the fridge and go about my day.

The only way I would say anything is if I knew I wasn't available for the date.

We had a bunch of people post on our guestbook on the website and few e mails as well.

Most people just put them on their fridge, I think.

Don't let it bum you out. No one is as excited about the thought and care you are putting into it as you are. It's to be expected. Just be proud knowing that you sent something out you were proud of and you loved.

As long as they respond to the invitation don't stress yourself!

Only a few people who were really close to me (parents, best friends, etc.) and I talk to daily told me they got them. I wouldn't worry. They probably got them and liked them, but just didn't say anything.

Thanks, ladies! That does help me feel better! :-)

I had only a few txt me letting me know they received it. I didn't really expect anyone to respond.

Just a few people told me they got it, and one friend told me she couldn't make it!

We had a few people say that ours were cute and that they were holding the date. We had one couple let us know that they can't come.

I've only ever responded if I know I can't make it- my cousin got married while I was on study abroad and I knew I wouldn't be able to come well ahead of time.

I had maybe 5 out of 120 people tell me they received the save the date, no biggie. Response to the invite is what really matters.

I should add that much like you I also spent HOURS upon hours designing the perfect STD, so I can understand feeling a little underwhelmed at the reaction.

Any STDs I've received have been put up on the fridge - I've never responded to them. I don't really expect people to respond, either.

Yeah I've never responded to a STD and I only got maybe 2 responses from good friends about theirs

I always respond. I usually say whether I think I can make it or not.

I got a few responses from the people i talk to daily, about how they received them. I also got a few people telling me that they would not be able to attend because they would be out of town that day. I still sent an invite though.

I actually didn't care for people to respond to a STD. Some close friends told me they received them in passing, but no one called me to tell me they had received them. I did get my same aunt and uncle tell me they couldn't make it every time I saw them around the holidays and family events. I'm like okay, you can celebrate from afar and smiled. I mentioned it to my mom, since it is her brother and let her know that I am still sending invites to everyone, so people don't need to RSVP to and STD.

OP be grateful that you didn't get too many responses, because STDs are not invites.

Almost all of our close friends responded saying they were cute and we see them on peoples fridges but we weren't expecting that. We never respond to STD's so it was a nice surprise. Don't take this personally. The friends that responded to us are also our bridal party and people we speak to often so we respond or share everything.

This falls under the category of no one will ever care as much about your wedding as you do.

Its unusual for people to respond to STDs.
