Re: From your no RSVPS
Posted by HSsweethearts
I have to say as a bride getting a LOT of no's.
(I seriously broke down crying a few times...)..
I really appreciate the little notes.
One cousin wrote 'with much regret' next to declines with regret and explained when we saw them at another wedding that the wife (the one not related by blood) has a family reunion that weekend and people staying at her house.
Some other people wrote notes on the back or on a separate piece of paper. I thought that was at least nice, although two pissed me off.
One was from a friend since freshman year of HS who actually lives in NY (in fact her parents still live like 10 blocks from me), and she explained in her note that she has 3 weddings in June and it was a'really hard decision' and she couldn't take off for all 3. I felt kind of bad.
Another cousin from FL wrote something like 'We hope we can meet soon to celebrate'...I posted about this already, but we have gone to FL sooooooo many times. I guess they're waiting for us to come down there again.![]()
I don't know, I feel kind of sad. I also noticed that people saying yes generally put a check, and people saying no generally put an x, and seeing this card with just an x makes me sad.
Maybe it's just the overall thing of how FH's family is mostly not coming and a lot of my older HS friends are flaking out too.
I appreciated the notes as well. One of the no's was from a roomie in college. She has just marked the declines with regret and I was kind of put off about that. It was FH that noticed later that she had written a long note on the back of the card saying she had a wedding in texas the same weekend and that she will be at my shower...the notes really do help! Especially if it's a guest that you really would like to see there.
I really hope you get some more yes's. or at least legitimate no's... Don't cry!
