Re: since people cannot manage to

My RSVP date is monday Sept 8th and we still have about 35 outstanding (that's 70 people)!!

I am going to wait until the weekend (5-6 days after the deadline) and start emailing people. I am going to tell them that the reception hall needs our final count in a week and we can't make any changes after that. We'll see.

I gave it about a week and started calling. Guess what? A couple of the people still never extended the courtesy of a return phone call...how 'bout that! I just found out a couple of nights ago that the last person we were waiting on is not coming...what was so hard to put the card in the mail?

MAybe I am weird, but I am not calling anyone. Let the RSVP date come and go.. I am not calling you.
I will just take it that you are not coming, and that is fine.

I know my family and friends that I invited are all coming, so I am not worried. But I will be damned if I have to be responsible for these types of people who cant even put a card in the mail.

And if/when they show up to the reception, and there is no place card with their name.... Oh WELL...

I am responsible for everything of that day going right, i just cannot be responsible for guests like that.

I am a week away from my RSVP date and my mom said she is gonna start calling the very next day!!! I told her to give them at least a week, but I guess she is sort of impatient and can't wait that long. I say you should call, especially if you are a week past your date.

UGHHH I feel your pain.
I think its incredibly RUDE and disrespectful that people cannot put the damn thing in the mail. We are about a week past and still missing a few. The worst one -- his mom and stepdad!!! I mean obv I know they are going but come onnnn.

I told my Mom one phone call...if they dont tell us by tomorrow (when we are doing the seating chart) then that's it...I'm considering them a no.
So sorry... too much other stuff to worry about.

Esp when you sent save the dates like a year beforehand!!1

I gave them a week and a half before I had my mom make phone calls. Plus, you'll get a lot in this week-people like to send them in on the rsvp date.

I am giving them a week after the RSVP, then making the calls.

Ditto.

I agree, so would I!!!

So here's my plan. If by Tues. 9/23 (rsvp due 9/19) I don't have all rsvp's in, they are down as a NO. If someone decides to show up, s*cks for them that there won't be a placecard for them. I know the RH will get them a place setting etc but I'm not going to make it easy for them.

I honestly don't understand what is so hard about rsvp'ing. Either you want to come or you don't, just decide and mail the darn thing back.

Re: since people cannot manage to

My date was 9/1 and I am missing approx 25 or so! We sent them out over 6 weeks ago! How hard is it to put a stamped envelope in the mail! I don't get the rudeness!!!!

Included in the one's missing in action are some from good friends. I don't get it - it's not hard!

We only received 3 this week! So I'll be calling next week. Although - I've marked them down tentatively as No's!
