Had To Laugh...RSVP Funny...

Ugh. This is going to annoy me so much when I send my invites out. And I will call people out!!

I've read way too many cases of that happening! People better send theirs in for mine because their meal depends on it haha

@Amy - obviously the dog would take precedent!

Yeah I've had other people tell me that if they don't send it back it OBVIOUSLY means they aren't coming. And then there are our siblings and wedding party (who we said could have dates even though they are in relationships) who haven't sent theirs in to let us know if they are bringing dates or not. Deadline is Saturday and I'm still waiting on 30 RSVP cards....going to be a lot of fun making phone calls.

The irony is, they got married less than 2 years ago and I specifically remember her stating how frustrating it was getting people to RSVP. You would think their's would have been the 1st to arrive. O-well. I'm learning that nothing surprizes me anymore.

Ha! Amy - that would be too funny! I hoped you laughed! I could so see mine doing the something like that! And send me her flight schedule along with it!

Lol, if you knew, why would you send an RSVP card in the first place? With a stamp and everything!

NO ONE out of our bridal party or immediate families sent back their RSVPs! Ok yeah, I was pretty sure they'd be there, but it still makes it easier to have all the responses on paper when you're trying to get final counts!

FH's side of them family never RSVP for our engagement party so i had FH ask his mom to find out and her response was they all called her to RSVP when the invite had my mom as the contact. You think maybe she would tell us? i have a feeling this will happen again, you send the cards for a reason!

It's really funny which people respond and don't. For example, my grandma whose actually hosting the wedding and it will be at her place sent back her RSVP, but my FI family probably won't because they aren't really use to doing that. I really think it depends on the people, culture and tradition to what's appropriate and respectful. We're figuring on everyone we invited (which is about 80) unless they RSVP with no.

Oh my word, I was in a similar position. A lot of our BP didn't RSVP. I mean, I know you are coming but I still need your entrée choice!

I am not looking forward to the RSVP process. I know FH's family will RSVP. It's my family that I know I'll have to hunt down!

Also funny story, my FSIL just got married a few weeks ago. They invited some 230 people. Sitting at her parents house before the wedding, her future in-laws stopped by. The RSVP date had passed and they were still waiting on some from that family. Anyway...her future mother-in-law kept saying "Oh well this person will come, this person won't" or "This person said they were coming" and her mom straight up looked at her future mother-in-law was like "I don't care what they said, I need their cards back" The dynamic between the two mothers is hilarious!

I want so bad to say something on the RSVP. Something like "I didn't put a return stamp for my health" or "send this shit back" LOL

I can't wait until I have to face this /sarcasm

I know this is an issue I just ran into a couple that told us about their RSVP woes too and thinking back on a wedding last year where this guy rsvp'd with his date a week prior after being asked repetitively to send it in way before that so it pissed the bride and groom off, then after having to add them in as going with their entree choice assuming they weren't going, the guy tells them the night before he's not coming bc he and his date are fighting....again pissing the bride off and then they show up the next day anyway.....pissing the bride and groom off. It was a NIGHTMARE and I can only hope I don't have to deal with that. Maybe I can include a note saying "in order to ensure the proper seating and arrangements, everyone must send back their RSVP cards if attending, including family and bridal parties"

I like being specific and it's a trait everyone in my family and my friends are very used to so it might not be so bad.

I think ppl are crazy. a good friend asked me could she RSVP via text. umm No can u send the prestamped pre addressed envloped back. thank you. lolol

Haha! I'm debating not to send RSVP to my family. I figure none of them would RSVP. All of them live in a five mile radius. It might be easier to get a response if I just bang on their door. "Knock, knock... Are you coming to my wedding or not? I need to know." lol

My parents (who paid for quite a bit of our wedding) sent back their RSVPs with of course, a yes. My dad included an extra note "Can you make sure I get a good seat at the front of the church? Love Dad". I had to laugh at that one, as did everyone else whom I told. My dad walked me down the aisle and got to sit in the front pew next to my mom and grandmother (his mom).
