How many RSVP's did you get back?

HoundMama, on April 1, 2013 at 5:39 PM Posted in Planning 0 13

Hi all - we are smack in the middle of getting our RSVP's back (well - a little over 50% there) and I was just curious, how many you ended up getting back overall? Did you get almost all of them back with a few stragglers you had to chase down, or did you end up having to call just about everyone on your list for their answers(or somewhere in between?)

Also - how many of you ended up getting a big surge at the end (or late?)

    Well, my RSVP by date is tomorrow for our May 5th wedding and so far out of 150 people, 22 have RSVP'd. I plan to send a FB message at the beginning of next week since that's how I communicate with mostly everyone and will make phone calls a week from that.

    WOW - that seems really low. We gave ours until April 15th for our 5/4/13 wedding and we have about 95 yes and 7 no for 168 people so far - BUT most of who is left are either people we think probably won't come, OR they are my family who couldn't send back an RSVP to save their lives.

    I invited 225 people for my May 4th wedding. I've had 154 responses so far, and my deadline is April 8th. There's been no surge thus far, but I'm hoping to get a lot back this week.

    We sent out last week. Out of 86 invites we have 9 Yes and 3 no. Those are family units not individual.

    My RSVP date is this Friday (4/5) for our May 25th wedding and I've received 53 responses/verbal confirmations out of 102 families. I got 5 RSVPs back today, which is pretty a pretty decent spike. Yay!

    I'm giving everyone until April 10 before I start harassing.

    Too damn many!!!!

    Desired Guest Count 130

    RSVP's so far 116

    Realistic count 140... I PRAY! This is my daily stress. I have so much anxiety over this. I get ecstatic at regrets which have not been many!!!!!

    We only had about 1/2 back without sending out a reminder to send them back, Facebook or texting to get a response. we ended up not getting 6 back at all so we just guessed o_O I don't get it we had postage on it and addressed it only thing they had to do was drop it in the mail

    @Teriauna, why are you getting RSVPs back already? They're usually not due until a couple of weeks before the wedding.

    We sent out about 30 invites, and had to make 1 phone call. Not too shabby :-)

    Sorry let me clarify. Informal/Soft RSVP on our website. I have to know what to expect even though I know things come up in 5 months. But, my per plate cost is so expensive, I have to gage early.

    We had 140 guests, so about 70 RSVPS, and I only had to call about 5 people. Everyone else either sent it back, or confirmed by phone/email.

    Out of 140 guests, 106 RSVPed yes, and 6 were no shows.
