You will get some 'Nos' Alot of our 'No's' were people not bringing a guest despite being invited with one.

Re: please tell me there will be 'No's

I noticed a lot of our No's came in closer to the RSVP deadline. We started out at a 5% no rate, and we are now up to about 20% ... but then again, I'm still waiting on 40 RSVP's, and my deadline was Tuesday ...

for whatever your reason for wanting fewer guests, i'd be flattered if i were you that so many people want to come to your wedding. for us, i was bummed whenever we rec'd a decline, b/c we really wanted everyone we invited to be with us on our wedding day.

*** but i assure you, you will get 'no's' if that's what you're hoping for... just maybe not as many as you thought you would?? ***

Re: please tell me there will be 'No's

Don't worry about it. You will be ok. Most of your Nos will be the ones that you will have to hunt down. We got some Nos, but we were hoping for a whole lot more of those

listen to you complain LOL You'd be complaining if they were all No's and people we're responding late.

If it makes you feel better I was thinking the same thing the first 2 weeks. We got a bunch of rsvps right away then they slowed down. All the No's come later. We're ending up with a 30% yes to no ratio (ALL my family is OOT)

How many people did you invite and what's your mininum?

Re: please tell me there will be 'No's

At first there's all yes' just wait

Re: please tell me there will be 'No's

The No's take a while to come in. The first responses are people who definitely are coming, and a bunch of people go back and forth.

i had about 50 RSVPs still out after my deadline, and like 80% of them were no's.

Re: please tell me there will be 'No's

oh i was totally freaking out with my rsvp's too!!! the no's come in towards the end dont worry

we at one point had 86 yes and 8 no...in the end we have 212 yes and 60 no - the average 20-25% that they say you will get

Re: please tell me there will be 'No's

The early responders are usually YES, the later ones are NOs
