I know when you get married, no one will be as happy as you are. People will be excited, but not as excited as you. But these last few days I'm just feeling like an island. I sent out my invitations over a week ago. I've gotten 7 rsvps back. I think my shower is in a couple weeks, there is next to nothing bought off my registry. I know that's not what matters, but, it has me feeling like no one cares/wants to come. Then my brother asks me tonight if he can bring a friend. Not his girlfriend (he doesn't have one) just a friend. I said we don't have room right now, but if we get some no's I'll let him know. Now my MOH is making me feel bad, like that was the wrong thing. She said siblings should get a guest. I really just feel like no matter what I do, I'm letting someone down. And I'm feeling let down. I don't know. Thanks for listening. I figured if maybe one other person was feeling to the same way, I might find one here.

Feeling a little emotional... Kinda need to vent.
I feel like we got caught up in this too.. and then decided we just need to go with the flow and do what makes us happy and what we want. The day and this time is about us- and people aren't paying for additional 'guests' to come and if you can't afford it- then you have to do what you have to do. I would focus in on your relationship and take a time out from everything because no matter what you do, you aren't going to make everyone happy. I just designate jobs to everyone on both sides of the family so everyone feels important and I won't have to worry about everything. I heard RSVP's are the WORST and people never answer- so I would be prepared to start calling. This is the greatest time in your life! SMILE!

Don't stress the RSVP's, mine were trickling in and we still had to call people when the date came and went without hearing from some people. As for your shower, people will be going shopping at the last minute. Try to focus on how excited you are to be marrying your FH. This is your time, enjoy it!

I think 7 RSVP's in a week is a good amount of responses. Especially the week before Labor Day and majority of people are on vacation. Then you have the ones that wait till the last minute to respond...hint hint me! Don't stress about it in time the responses will be flowing in.

If it makes you feel better, people were buying my gifts for my shower just a few hours before they had to be there. No one cares about your wedding more than you do, trust me. People go on with their lives, and it sucks that sometimes we can feel so alone, but that's what FH is for. None of this matters, your marriage matters. What I have learned is 10 years from now none of it will be important, but the love your FH and you share on your wedding day and after that will be!
Hugs <3 We are all in this together!!

Thank you all so much. And you're so right, years from now none of this will matter. Side note - the brother who asked to bring a friend is my little brother, he's 13 years younger than me. But he's all grown now, in the Army, doing his own thing. And he's just the sweetest thing. I told him I don't have room for the friend right now, but if it opens up, I'll let him know. I also told him that I don't have all the RSVPs and it's kind of bumming me out. He said, 'no biggie! (about the friend) and i'm sure people will come, they just don't mail much anymore or something'. He's just the cutest.

Aww that was a cute response from him. It's just that part of the summer where everyone is away. Don't stress yourself, it will come.

Seems like your brother will be fine with whatever decision you make, judging by your response, so no need to stress that one. STOP looking at the registry lol I didn't look and I'm glad I didn't give myself the added fears. RSVPs are the worst. I've barely received any they all have to be in by September 1st so I'll be making a lot of phone calls.
