I feel like going bridezilla!! RSVP Vent!!

God help those who do not rsvp to ours.. I might go bridezilla on them!!!

Yeah, I know how you feel. I even included stamps on my return RSVPs and people are still telling me the answers. I tell them I'm not going to remember that and to use the nice stamped envelope I provide and mail the answer back to me!

I feel for you. I'm not there yet, but when I am, I'm sure it will be an irritating experience.

I totally hear ya! Same thing is happening here! After calling each and everyone of them, I still have 14 with no answer. We are going to have a seating so if they show, guess their out of luck! You just can't let it ruin your fun! Good luck!

Oh yeah! That was my life a couple of weeks ago... In addition, I had people trying to bring extra folks "Is so-and-so invited?" uhhh... did you see his/her name on the invite? You have every right to be a bridezilla!

I just sent my invitations out last week & I have 67 more days til my wedding. If I don't get the RSVP's back then those people will not have seats or food lol. So far I have 10 people who left me messages of facebook saying they are coming....I sent RSVP cards in the mail for a reason! I know how your feeling!!

StankaMonsta... I know! Why would I spend extra money on matching RSVP's and pre-addressed envelopes, plus stamp them if they weren't supposed to use them. Plus this is a family wedding so most people are bringing their entire families. And I'm supposed to remember how many people come with each family even though I've never met some of these people?? AND some of his family are RSVPing for other family members who have not done so. His grandmother RSVP'd for 4 people, his aunt added an extra person to her RSPV to cover a family member who doesn't want to bother to send it back.

Oh no! First off I am sorry to hear that. We just sent ours out last Thursday and now I'm scared. I have heard this to be the biggest complaint, but I agree. WHAT IS SO HARD ABOUT STICKING IT IN AN ENVELOPE AND MAILING IT?! Never understood the "issue" behind that. It's not that hard to do! I am with you on that. Best of luck.

"as long as it's not too hot"? What is that? I don't mind people telling me, or FH, or our parents, and I'll mark it down, but for crying out loud, please do actually make up your mind! I would be tempted to tell your sister that you are paying $X.XX per person for their meals, so you need to know FOR SURE.

How did I word this before? "We regret that our [venue and caterer - whatever applies] will be unable to accommodate guests who do not accept our invitation by [date]. If we do not hear from you by [same date], we will have to assume that you will not attend."

Can you send that out via email? Update to your WW website, if that's the case? I think you're close enough now that it's justified.

I just sent mine out yesterday, I pray I don't have to deal w/this. I will go bridezilla on someone. Also, if someone sends me a FB Message saying they are coming but don't pick a meal choice, guess what, they are getting the cheapest meal option. Just send the damn card in the pre-addressed envelope. It's not rocket science

J&R S. What a good idea!! I might just have to do that. I can somewhat understand my sister saying if it's not too hot. She's having a baby by C-section not long before the wedding and it has been an average of 105 or higher here all summer. But this is the sister who has caused nothing but drama for me since she found out I was engaged. I sent her an invitation out of obligation. She has knocked every dress I looked at, knocked my flowers, my DIY projects, even my invitations. But that's another subject altogether. I've vented at length in the past about all the drama my sister has caused during this wedding planning process.

Oh Leyila, I'm sorry to hear about this! It would be so frustraiting especially since you spent so much time and money on the return RSVP. Do you have many of your guests on Facebook? If so, you could send out a mass private message including all those invited that have not RSVP'd re-explaining proper RSVP etiquette and that you would really appreciate people responding properly to your wedding....? And maybe those people would pass on the info to those not on FB? I have not come to this as of yet, and I didn't send out paper RSVP responses, just the RSVP here on WW. Good luck!!!

7 out of 80? WOW that's crazy. I sent out about 45 and is missing 3. I would be so upset ESPECIALLY spending $ on postage!!! Good grief it's not that hard people! And the "as long as it's not too hot" WOW again. What is wrong with people, seriously. Yeah I get that it's AUGUST and "hot" So what are you saying you NEVER go out in summer?? No BBQs, no swimming, no parks, no nothing under the sun?? People are annoying and I can't wait to be done with wedding planning. Lol. Okay, I'm done venting to HAHAHAHAHA ...

Maria R. I here you date twin!! I'm so frustrated! I have called people and they keep telling me the same thing, just count me in you know I'll be there since I'm in FH's family... I started telling people that I'm not keeping track of the RSVP's and that I turn them over to a friend who's keeping the head count. If I don't have a card with your name on it, you won't have a seat or food. lol This whole thing has got to have my blood pressure up! I'll be glad when it's all over.

Smh poor baby

I'm in the same boat! Not only did I send easy to do response cards, but I put our WW website on the response card if they got too lazy to go to the mail box! But about the mail box, is it too much to ask to bring my response card out with the stamp on it that I paid for with you when you walk out to check your mail? I mean you do it six times a week, what's so complicated about taking my response card with you one of those times?! UGH! And not only that, you can type your name on my RSVP page on the website! How much more simple can I make it?!? Out of the 150 people we invited, I've gotten 10 solid responses (barring the BP and immediate family). I think I'm gonna use J&R S's suggestion via email if I don't get a lot more by the end of this week... **sigh** Venting is therapeutic...

OMG i am so there with you with the RSVPS, and my FH's family is the worst and i'm so DONE. i'm really on a wish factor right now "I WISH SOMEONE WOULD SHOW UP WHO HAS NOT RSVPED" NO SEAT. I'm sorry but weddings cost too much, and the time and energy to mail out an invite with a self addressed stamp is way too much money and time. i'm livid about my RSVPs and i sent out close to 200 and i'm still missing 19, which is not bad but i'm still upset, so i feel your pain.

Glad i'm not the only one- sent out 30 invites, only 6 RSVPed. NO ONE on FH's side RSVPed so he's all heart broken thinking no one cares enough to come, so I had his mom call family members, almost all of them are coming but didn't bother to RSVP!!! Imagine if I didn't have seats for them! I was super pissed bc I gave FOUR different ways to RSVP, a self addressed stamped card, the website, my phone number, and my email. I thought my RSVPs were idiot proof, but apparently not. What can I say, people are assholes, even your own family members sometimes!

I'm getting ticked off just reading these...sometimes ppl really are inconsiderate.

I feel for you. This remains my #1 gripe about this whole thing.
