RSVP date was yesterday... still missing 100 RSVPS!!!

My RSVP date was 6/10/11 and I was missing 38! FH said to bad so sad for them. But I have one of bridesmaid's giving them all a jingle. I would hate to move people from my group B list to group A and the original group A's show up. All I can say is that they will fully understand what it means to RSVP on time when it comes to weddings when their on the outside looking in!

I also paid for postage....People are just rude!

Our wedding is at a navy base, and our invite enclosure pointed out that if folks didn't RSVP, then THEY WOULDNT BE ALLOWED PAST THE FRONT GATE.

We had pretty good success, only missed about 4 people (out of ~150), and we left one week between "our" deadline and the navy's deadline.

No more cooking for 100 and 25 showing up like with my grad party; my poor mother and all that food. I'm still waiting on 66 to reply, my deadline is in two weeks with a three day grace period. I'm getting married on a yacht. I need to know the final count at the latest three weeks prior to wedding because everything has to be paid in full by then. I'm staring my calls in two weeks. I have my parents, bridesmaids, and fiance's mom making friendly phone calls to people on the list. They'll call, catch up and casually mention the wedding rsvp. I have ushers and a wedding coordinator making sure only people on the list get on the boat. I'm using this non-traditional venue as the reason why it must be a solid yes or no as well as the reason why they won't be allowed on the boat if they don't rsvp. I have a family full of procrastinators. Also, my deadline is the day before my wedding shower so those guest who haven't replied will have to tell me in person the day of my shower

Yes, some people are inconsiderate and you have to ensure you don't let them add to your 'wedding planning stress.'

For me, I called those that I knew had mentioned they were coming to confirm that they still plan on attending, and I went online and RSVPd for them myself; waiting for such people to RSVP themselves is a waste of time! For those that I hadn't heard from, I RSVPd for them as not attending and sent an e-mail to them saying that since they have not RSVPd, I am assuming that they are not coming and have listed them as not attending. I would rather have 80 people that I am sure want to come and share the day with me THAN 200 people that feel compelled.

I so feel you on this one. I had to call a few people. My wedding party felt it was not necessary because they were in it. Ok, I give them that but if I took the time to send it to you with a stamp why not just send it back anyway. A few I just took off my guest list and it will be on them if they travel 5 hours and 30mins for nothing. They will be able to witness the ceremony but the party after is not available to them anymore. They have been replaced. I do feel annoyed that I wasted money on stamps though. I say if you have not heard from the missing links by now to assume they are not coming and if you have a B list like I do, call them and apologize for the late notice but ask them if they would like to come. I have 3 good friends who I could not invite at first coming from my B list and they were happy to accept and they returned their rsvp before some who were invited at first. They also had their hotel reservation and travel plans in place before some of them too.

We just send our invitations out today and the guess will have until August 15, to response back to us. Our wedding is schedule for Oct., 02, we wanted to give our guess time to respond. We are giving them 15 days before we have to confirm final head count. Most of our family are coming out of state and country.

Getting married in 3 days and the biggest stress we have had is the guest. I thought I had covered all bases for our small intimate wedding. Why are people so rude? Our dream is to look out over our guest and see people who we love and have some kind of close connection. We did not want a show. We want to celebrate. Why are people trying to make it about them and who they think should be attending. I thought this day was about what we wanted. We are excited about our life together but will be happy when it is said and done. I have never tried to attend a wedding I was not invited to or actually approach a bride and express that I was not invited or I did not get an invite. Some even called or sent messages that they would love to come when is it and what is the info. Well it's the middle of June. If you did not get your invite by now...duh! I can not tell you how many times I had to explain we were having a small (75) intimate wedding and that we were not able to invite everyone. Ugh

GOD's blessings to everyone who has already married and who are getting married. Put GOD first and you can't go wrong. Pray together, worship together and always stick together. I am marrying my Best Friend. How neat is that???

Our wedding turned out beautiful! It was at sunset on the beach in VA beach and mostly everyone honored our request and wore white. It looked so beautiful. Our biggest stress was the guest. People are just rude and that is that. All in all it was a beautiful memorable day! We honeymooned in Montego Bay Jamaica. Best advice is to make the honeymoon a priority. If you have to scale down on the wedding to take a trip than do that. You will need the time alone together after all the planning. We are in-love and happy and after the honeymoon relaxed. Good luck to all of you and God Bless.

I have 230 invited and my RSVP deadline was over a week ago and I am missing 100! My mother is one of 8 and not one of her siblings sent in an RSVP so I told her to ask and sure enough every single one is coming and figured "Of course I am coming. She should know that!" How am I to know if you don't send in an RSVP!! How am i supposed to magically know?!?! Wow people are rude. I also posted on my Facebook reminding everyone. I would think anyone that has planned a wedding understands how stressful this part is and would send in RSVP's as soon as they get them!
