My rsvp date is August 4th... We invited 406 people. We've had 120 people respond so far. I have a lot of verbal 'yes's' but to me - I want to see it in writing! LOL!!
So far I have had positive experiences; but it's only been a week and a half. Yes people are rude and some are just plain lazy.

I am hoping to send out the invites rather early to avoid this ridiculous drama. I already know who the people are who will add their kids names (I might jump the gun and just inform them of the complimentary babysitting service I have set up!)
When should invites go out, and how long should you give people to reply?
I got one. My cousin had a baby. He and his wife are flying up from Florida. He e-mailed me to ask if he could bring his 3 month old daughter, and before I could e-mail him back, I found a response with 'X, Y and baby Caity will be happy to attend).
I have a story to add, I invited my neighbor who is an older woman, unfortunately her husband passed away three months ago, we were close with the husband and wife, so I give the wife the invite with her name and a GUEST, knowing she's not going to come by herself, she will feel lonely. She has two daughters that are twenty something, I'm 'friendly' with one of them, so I figure hopefully she'll bring that one, I didn't want to be rude and pick one daughter over the other. The other one thinks she's hot ****, hoochied up, but we just say hi and bye in passing. So my neighbor got so happy and excited with the invite and said 'Oh the girls will be so happy, we'll all go to the wedding' etc. Me being the nice person that I am was like okay, out of respect for the husband that passed away etc. both daughters will be welcome. THEN get this the 'Miss Hot Stuff' daughter tells her mother to ask me if her Boyfriend can come, they've been together for a few years and he will take the place of the father who passed away....I'm like HELLO, You are taking the place of your father.....Oh man....People are to much. I told them I will have to get back to them because I only have a limited number of guests and depending on who responds etc. Can you Believe it????

we had to wind up calling people the week before- it was so ridiculous- and we had no shows at our wedding also! you learn a lot about people when this happens!
