For those of you who have been through the whole wedding planning process, you may agree that one of the most irritating steps is the waiting game. The waiting for all the RSVPs!! After SO much time is spent on picking out the right invitations maker, the layout of the card, the colors, the type of ink (in this case I used glitter ink) and the proper way to address people and so on and so on, FINALLY when the company emails me to let me know everything has been addressed and mailed out, I let out a HUGE sigh of relief and excitement took over. YAY! I finally will know who is going to do their best to make it and who can't (for whatever reason they may have). Once the RSVP's come in that's when it's time to let the planner know how many people to charge for plate settings, food, appetizers, alcohol, etc. It also lets my mom and I know just how many favors to order as well as programs. So, until everyone RSVP's everything is on HOLD.
We now have 37 days until THE BIG DAY!!! Woohoo!! Thing is, I just realized that tomorrow is the deadline for letting us know who can go and who cannot. Tomorrow. We have heard from maybe a THIRD of everyone invited. IF THAT! Hopefully many of the RSVP's are in transit and my mom will receive them soon. But for those that are just sitting on someone's counter/kitchen table, not cool! Matt and I spent a pretty penny to include a little RSVP envelope, that is already addressed and stamped (at least I'm 90% sure...maybe it's the actual invitations postage we payed for..hmm), and the RSVP card. Coming to the wedding? Check yes or no. Put it in the envelope. Lick it shut and stick it in the mailbox(if stamp isn't included then it gets two lickits!). Easy. Effortless. I realize people may have let Matt and I know verbally who is going and who isn't, but I already have wayyy to much on my mind to remember to tell my mom (Though ones who gave me a heads up is still appreciated!). I'm not the one keeping track, my mom is. So please, if you are someone who has their RSVP card sitting on their table, go ahead and mail it out! That way I can make sure everyone has a place to sit and eat :) I gotta get a move on on all this biznaz! Until then, I will be rockin' this waiting game..it's like Christmas every time I hear about an RSVP! :) xoxoxo

Hey, mine didn't come with a stamp! Small price for me to pay to be sure you've got room at the table for me! That's right RSVP people! I did!
ReplyDeleteWell, it could be that I payed for the postage to mail them out, but I'm pretty sure the RSVP came with one. You are also in England so maybe it's different! Either way, stamp or not, in the states it's a pretty easy task to mail them back :) And ps...we got yours <3 Thanks!
ReplyDeleteDon't sweat it, just give them a crummy seat at the reception! :p
ReplyDeleteThe RSVP came with a postage...most RSVP's are suppose to come with postage :) But that doesn't mean people will send them back! i had to hunt people down to get them to send mine back. it's extremley annoying and rude. Mine's in transit! :)
ReplyDeleteI have not sent mine yet.
