RSVP.... " Do i need to send you back my RSVP?"

People are so lazy! I'd prefer to get it back too. I didn't pay for RSVP cards for nothing, people!

Exactly , right!?!?... She did say no problem, that she would bring the RSVP card back, but like come on... haha how many more people am i going to have to deal with this?... & Its only the first day our invites have been sent out hahaha!

I don't see anything wrong with that. I'm sure you probably provided postage and the self addressed envelope and it could get daunting to keep track of everyone who verbally said yes. Don't feel guilty!

@victoria, exactly... I wrote my address, and provided postage and they still didnt want to send it... like really?? hahaah all that work and you dont want to send it? jesus drive me up the wall

I always send the RSVP card back, even when the couple knows already...just cause that's what you do! And I can see how you'd want them all back, just to have them, and it's definitely NO effort on their part to send it...but I do think you can manage some verbal RSVPs. I'm guessing you have a guest spreadsheet, right?

I know I wouldn't mind, but I'm only doing online RSVPs, not getting any back in the mail. I guess it just doesn't really matter to me.

ETA: posted too soon

You sent out your invites,already, for August?? WAY too early, imho

"No, you don't need to mail it back. I just sent you an RSVP card and paid the postage, because I wanted to waste money."

Oh man, I totally feel you! I went over to a close friend's house, I saw the RSVP laying on the counter (I sent the invitations out like 3 weeks before), I teased her about not sending it. She was like, oh you know we're coming, I was going to peel off the stamp and reuse it! I responded: "ummm or you could just put it in the mail since that is why I supplied the stamp and paid to get the envelopes addressed". I felt like such a Bridezilla, but it really ticked me off. A few days later the RSVP arrived in the mail, no names on it, luckily I had written numbers on the back. I know she probably thought I was being so anal, but really, you consider me a close friend, why don't you write a nice message no the card and pop it in the mail right away to show your support? Sorry for the rant!! lol

Our RSVPs require a food choice so I'm hoping that ensures we get them all back!! (wishful thinking lol)

My wedding is 8/8/15 and I just sent my invites as well. We are on a tight budget and I want to order the thank you favors soon and centerpieces. So without a correct amt of ppl attending it prolongs the info I need to buy my materials.

Good luck and i really mean that

more than half of FH family didnt sent a card back I had to go to FMIL to call them, its pathetic

I tell them yes so I can keep track because I am not always with a pen and my list to write it down when they call and don't want to reask them later when I forget. Lots on the mind.

I sent mine on Saturday and people just started getting them. Nobody's asked me that yet but I would definitely say yes! I would tell them how excited I get to go to the mail box to look for RSVP's so please, just put your name on it and drop it in the mail.

I sent mine on Saturday too!! So far people have just been saying they received them and love them, but no RSVPs yet. I can't wait till they start rolling in!

I dont get why its too soon to send my invites? Im getting married at the beginning of August, not the end. And I have to have my numbers in for the caterer / ferry on June 20th. Im hoping that I get them all... hahahaah wishful thinking maybe?

@Andixlyn, I totally agree with you on that!!

FMIL told me that FH's side of the family is terrible at RSVPing.... And my grandma asked last night as soon as she got it... like good god.... Now im stressing about stragglers... gawwddd.... so.. much.. stress hah

My really good friend, who I already knew as coming to the wedding as she was planning her plan ticket prior to me sending my invites, told me in person she was coming. I told her she had to go online and RSVP, so she did . But I don't trust the verbal RSVPs, I'd rather it be official.

@Joy, thats a good word... I agree to that as well, it does feel more official when you receive the RSVP in the mail!!

I would love mines back because I will for get who called me and tell me they are coming which is easier for them to send the it back in the so you can keep up with count much better.

If anyone give's you grief on wanting the RSVP card back after the verbal confirmation, first off they're rude and weird in my opinion - you put postage and your address! It's like no effort. Secondly it helps you keep organized! You talk to so many people. You don't want to be calling them close to the cut off because you forgot about the conversation!

For the record? I don't think you mailed out your invites too early. We all have our reasons for doing what we do and honestly? BIG DEAL! I will be sending mine out in September for a January wedding as I have a lot of people who live on the other side of the country and also it is so close to Christmas.... oh and yeah... I DID send out Save the Dates as well... LAST MONTH! i have been to a lot of weddings and every single one was given to me more then ten weeks ahead of the special day. YOU GO GIRL!!! OH, and as for the RSVP??? It's not hard to drop it in the mail... DAMN IT PEOPLE, JUST BE CURTIOUS !! If we send a stamped envelope and ask for a return ..........RETURN IT!!!! lmao. Some people... :-(
