RSVP Date past (with vent and update on my friends babies)

Well as of yesterday our RSVP date has come and gone. We have 17 people that haven't responded. I already started sending emails and making a few phone calls. I don't think thats TOO bad but still frustrating nonetheless.

Thats not really the problem. What I'm upset about is that of this count, 2 of them are members of our BP (and 2 are their guest).

One of FH friends has decided he's not sure he can spend the $ on the plane ticket from FL and the misc expenses. Shouldn't he have thought about that a YEAR ago when FH asked him? I know I shouldn't complain because money is a BIG issue for a lot of people, but with under 30 days he probably should have said something SOONER!!!! The tuxedo place needs measurements ASAP.

I also need to get on the phone with my BFF and get an answer from her. It's my own fault on this because I didn't want to push her.

For those of you that don't remember, she gave birth to twins about 3 weeks ago- they were 2 months early and both under 2 lbs. From what she tells me they're doing really well. They are starting to gain weight and they were able to take the breathing tube out of one of them the other day for 5 hours. I completely understand if she doesn't want to come because she is pre-occupied with the babies, and I'll understand if she decides not to come because they're in the hospital.

We met with the florist on Wed and told them the dilemma. They said we have about a week or 2 need to give them a count of how many bouquets and boutteneirs we need. Hopefully we know SOON whats going on!!!!

Good luck figuring out the bridal party situation!

You're being WAY more patient with the GM than I would be...let's face it, you can either save ahead of time, or let you know sooner. That's crazy...

And kudos to you for being so understanding with your BM. She's lucky to have such a patient friend who has her best interests at heart!

Sorry you are going through this so close to your wedding.
I would definitely put some pressure on the GM to make a decision.
As for your BFF I hope the babies get well and out of the hospital soon. I hope she will be able to attend your wedding. Good for you for not being bridezilla on her and putting the babies first

I would NEVER do that....Also its because she lives in DC so i told her not to worry about coming to my shower. I know she felt guilty but it was the right thing to do. I'm sure she'll do what she can for the wedding but I know her mind is completely focused on the babies.

I just CAN'T WAIT to get down there and see em. Hopefully by April they'll be out of the hospital and we can go down there.

We had a similar experience with FH's best man- he still to this day didn't open up the invitation (he is going to be FH's best man though- he knows where and when, etc. and got his tux and all).

Out of all our invitations, we didn't get back 15 RSVP's (only 2 were on my side of the family) so that is pretty good imo.. we called and got answers from all but a few.

That stinks though about FH's GM- you would think telling him a year in advance would be good enough for him to save up the $$ to be there and for the tux.
