Rsvp's coming in

Phew - After reading some of the posts from some of the ladies here on this site, I was worried we wouldn't get many RSVP's back and I'd have to spend days calling most of my 250+ guests to see if they were coming, once our March 15 deadline passed.

Happy to say that seems to be unfounded - 3 weeks after we sent out our invitations, we have 26% of our RSVP's back. With another 6 weeks until our deadline, I'm hopeful I won't have too many to call!

    I have about half in, 3 weeks till deadline! I am actually worried about it though. I guess because even people I KNOW are coming haven't done it.

    That's so exciting, at this time last month I was stressing about getting RSVPs. We are now a week away from the deadline and we have received 58%, I would say about half of those came in the last 2 weeks.

    Glad you are encouraged and pleased with the results! We sent out our save the date cards and the link to our wedding website mainly for the hotel booking information and have had family RSVP to the wedding before the invitations were even sent. It is fun to see who will be coming and kind of nice to see who cannot make it as we are able to invite others in place of the "no's".

    I know, right?! I'm the same way - RSVP right away!

    I know we're going to have to track some people down in the end and call them, but I am hopeful it's not going to be too many!

    I was worried about this too haha we sent our invites out just after Christmas and we have already had a decent number of replies, about 1/3 I think! I'm the type of person who always sends the RSVP card back straight away because I know they are waiting for everyone to reply- I never understand why some people take so long when they already know they are going to reply 'yes' (My FH's immediate family being in this category) We set our deadline for April 1st so there's still lots of time yet...

    Awesome!!!! Yeah same here I was stressing so much incase the website didn't work, or people didn't get the invites, or I didn't receive the RSVPs! We sent out about 3 weeks ago too and hit the 1/3rd mark for returns! It's so exciting when I see another one come in!

    That's awesome to hear!!

    I haven't send invites out yet, but I had lots of feedback with the Save the Dates! I sent out a Accommodations card with it too so guests could book the hotel this early, and there's been a lot who have already done this! I'm hoping not much will change when the invites go out and the same guests will RVSP quickly "yes"!

    That's awesome!! I know how you feel - we started selling our social tickets at Christmas for our March 29th social and we are already 80% sold!! I'm actually asking our wedding party for tickets back so our family will be able to buy!
