I feel your pain. My wedding is in 3 weeks. MY RSVP date is this Friday (don't ask - we sent out invites very late ).
I'm still waiting for about 75 responses. I'm not looking forward to having to call people that didn't respond. Most of them are on FH side so I think this will become FMIL's job

Holy geez. That would make me flip. I would only know about 20 people then if that were me. That's so scary, I can't even imagine.

Don't stress Chris, you will definitely get a lot of responses this last week and into the week after your date. Most people think they have until the RSVP date to mail it out, hence all the late replies the week AFTER your RSVP date.

That's what happens. We had 180 outstanding RSVPs a week before our due date. They always come in at the last minute. If I calculate correctly your RSVP date is still 5 weeks from your wedding date, so there's still time to have phone calls made to those that can't check a box and stick the card in the mail.

Ain't stressing it too much, 90% is from FI's side, and his mother calls me EVERY single day for an update! I finally (blew up) and told her Saturday that on March 20, I will give her the final update, and she could start making calls on March 27...until then, LEAVE ME THE HE!! alone!

I WISH we were done...my mom is still under the impression that we won't have more than 150 people, but looking at 'past' statistics...we invited 204, and I seriously DOUBT that 50 will say NO...but hey...fingers crossed...we'll just have less room on the dancefloor.

Re: 7 days away from the RSVP date...
you know, you spend all this time and effort making sure that you exclude no one, and offend no one. And you mull over all the decisions just to be sure that you are being as polite and courteous to your guests as possible... so much time and effort and thought and those wedding nightmares!
and the darn people don't even have the common courtesy to respond in a polite, proper and timely fashion.
Frustrating.
sorry dear, may you go home today to your mailbox will be overflowing with RSVP's.

You just wrote exactly what was in my brain! Thank you Laurie!
I'm just in awe about the bridal party and family members...they're all under the impression that I put a stamp on the RSVP envelope for 'decorative' reasons!

You know something - I have a whole bunch of them, and I'm not updating the guestlist! I'm going to call them all and let them know that the stamp is on there for a reason....
