ANGRY RANT...

ANGRY RANT...

So I just need to vent and I know you girls understand more than anyone. Our RSVP date is one week away. There are still 17 invitations that we have not yet heard from...this infuriates me. Half the people have told me they are coming so I don't understand why they can't check a box, seal the card, and walk to the mailbox. Even more aggravating, we blocked hotel rooms (which must be reserved by the end of this month) and are paying for a brunch the next day. I need a headcount of people staying out the hotel for OOT bags and the brunch, yet hardly anyone has made reservations yet. I don't get it...is everyone waiting for the last second or do they just not give a crap. I just think it's so unfair that I'm hounding friends and family to send back RSVPs and reserve hotel rooms at this point. ALL of this info was clearly outlined in the invitation that went out months ago. Don't I have more important things to worry about 6 weeks out from my wedding? I guess I'm just realizing that a lot of people are selfish...more-so than I thought...disappointing.

Sorry, just needed to type it out. Hope you all have better luck with this than me.

Re: ANGRY RANT...

I dont get it either. I am stressing that part already and my invites havent gone out. I had a bad experience with my baby shower and im really hoping it doesnt happen again. There is no getting around the fact that this part sucks and it should not be like this. I didnt do a hotel block cause i dont need the added stress. Good Luck..you know it will work out eventually.

Re: ANGRY RANT...

That is so rude, I'm sorry you have to go through that! I would be upset too, it's horrible

Re: ANGRY RANT...

Im sorry you're going through this. At this point you need to put your foot down and tell them that you need to finalize your plans and if they don't respond you'll have to count them out. It may be harsh but they are being inconsiderate of you.

Re: ANGRY RANT...

Nothing aggravates me more than people not RSVPing on time and then I have to call to be told you know I'm coming so what's the big deal!!!! UGH just RSVP! I do as soon as I get an invitation!

Re: ANGRY RANT...

You are right, we all feel for you and it sucks - just no way around it. I think this is the worst part of planning a party.....people just do not think!!

Re: ANGRY RANT...

Aww I feel ya. I think we will all go through this. Hang in there. I would contact or post again that it is imperative that they send their RSVP's in or they will be left off the list b/c you have a deadline. As for the hotel block, isn't it too late for them to book a room at the discount rate & is now subject to availability?

Re: ANGRY RANT...

Ive heard that this is the norm..unfortunately if ppl dont do it right away, they forget. Id just call them and get it out of the way so you dont have to worry. Dont take it personally :)

Re: ANGRY RANT...

i totally understand how you feel. People just don't know what a stressful process this all is and how much they mess up your plans if they wait on things. My hotel block got completely messed up because people never booked their rooms when i asked them to months ago.

I hope you get your RSVP''s soon. <3

Re: ANGRY RANT...

I have less than a week to my RSVP date and we still don't have 51 response cards!!! I am so annoyed at all the work I'm going to have to do to chase people down. Including groomsmen!!! Which would be fine since obviously they are coming, expect I need to know if they are bringing dates or not! GRRR!!

I totally feel your pain.

Re: ANGRY RANT...

Oh no! How RUDE! Could you set up an evite or something, inviting people to RSVP? And a second one inviting out of town guests to book their hotel rooms? Passive agressive? Yes. Satisfying, I'd bet yes as well! Good luck!

Re: ANGRY RANT...

Thanks so much for your kind words, everyone!!! I hope you all have an easier time with this than me. Now I've started contacting people and they don't even apologize for not sending it back...if that was me, I'd be so embarrassed that the bride had to hound me for an answer. I've even resorted to posting facebook statuses reminding people to respond and book rooms. It is just so selfish!

I feel so bad for you!!! I guess I have no right to complain. That's disgusting about your groomsmen, now you know why they're single!! LOL

Re: ANGRY RANT...

We are going through the same thing. We are getting married a week before and had to track down almost half the guests.

I don't know what I'm mad at more, that, or the wasted postage on the response cards
