Second Wedding Defeat

First is losing the battle over getting a photographer.

The second... is losing the battle over getting people to RSVP. I’m just going to have to anticipate everyone is going to show up or oh well. Up to 12/28 officially confirmed. Of those only my parents have confirmed on my side. I FINALLY spoke with my bridesmaid today and after making sure her husband is getting the time off she is going to RSVP. I hope my MOH is coming, I think she is? Same with my brother? One friend vaguely alluded to coming in a FB message. The worst is my FH dad told us they won’t be RSVPing officially because we should know they’ll be there. So I concede! I can’t win or make anyone be a respectable person with manners. I guess they are all coming.

Funny enough. I used the platform Wix for my website - the email campaign I sent out had a direct link to the RSVP page. I can also see the stats for who has opened the email and who has clicked on it - obviously if they haven’t RSVPd and opened it, worst also clicked 🤬🤬🤬🤬 White flag raised. Hope to see everyone there.

    This must be so frustrating for you! I hope nothing else adds insult to injury. Stay strong, girl! It's their loss if they fail to do a simple RSVP and attend!

    I don't think it has anything to do with it being your 2nd wedding. I am still waiting on a signficant chunk of RSVPs, and they are due on 6/15. Some people just "don't bother" regardless of whether it's the 1st wedding or the 10th. Also, technically you have about a 48% response rate which isn't too bad considering your wedding is in August. I currently have less than that and my wedding is next month.

    This is my first wedding, it’s my “second” defeat of things going wrong in the planning process that I have no control over. Lol. I guess that title only made half sense - which makes sense because I’ve been so exhausted lately. Thankfully the only reason we have the ones we do is because FH messaged his siblings. I was hoping to get a headcount since we’re having a destination wedding and the vendors need numbers before the end of June. It is what it is, I’m just sticking with the number invited is what I decided.

    Gotcha. I'm sorry! But yeah, people suck. Most of my RSVPs have been because I texted people and asked them (our bridal party didn't even RSVP and we need actual meal choices 🤷‍♀️). Hopefully you get more RSVPs! Can your venue maybe help with the photographer?
