Just A Vent
I know so many of you have been where I am and none of this is new, but I just have to let it out. What is with people and RSVP'ing? I've spent enough time on the Knot/Nest to have expected that plenty of people would not bother to RSVP...whatever. I even expected that some people would RSVP that they were coming and then not show up...okay. And I expected that people would RSVP for more than those who were actually included in the invite (which I don't think happened ON the RSVPs, actually).
But my oldest friend RSVP'd that she and her husband would not be coming and then makes a "see you Saturday" comment on Facebook (this week) with no explanation. I'm so glad she is coming and was really sad when I got her RSVP, but at least call me or send me an email/message that plans have changed. Then FI texts me a minute ago (wedding is in TWO DAYS) to tell me that one of the guests on his side who initially said she wasn't coming, then RSVP'd yes for her and her husband is now also bringing her grown daughter, her daughter's boyfriend and her daughter's three kids. So thats 0 to 2 to 7! yes's. Seriously? I hope they all enjoy sharing 2 meals.
Okay, I'm done for now. Why am I at work today, where I can let myself think about these things and sit at a computer and vent? Thanks for obliging me. So glad it will all be over soon.
Re: Just A Vent
our wedding caused me way too much unnecessary stress so I feel you! take a deep breath, it will saturday before you know it and you won't care about all of the little things that pissed you off before.
congrats, I didn't realize your wedding was almost here! can't wait to see pictures, I'm a sucker for anything wedding-related.
oh, and my parent's friend (who's divorced) added a +1 on his invite, his teenage daughter. on our RSVP cards, I specifically wrote in ___ of 1 attending on his card, he crossed out the 1 and put 2. ok, no biggie, whatever.
then the daughter doesn't even end up showing.
That sucks!
But - you're getting married in two days!!! YAY!!!
Yeah, I'm not so stressed about the actual logistics of it, it just pisses me off that people are so rude. At the end of the night, I know I won't care (probably won't remember) who all did and didn't show.
Yay!!! Its almost your wedding day
!!
On a side note, I had all of the above happen at my wedding, and basically just had an overflow table for all of the people who didnt have enough courtesy to inform me of their attendance correctly. I also had a family member add +6 a few days before the wedding - and I basically had my mom call them and tell them that the menu was already set and that we wouldnt have enough spots for them at the dinner portion. . . they ended up coming with their original number (2). . .
I instructed my friend who was manning the guestbook/placard table to instruct anyone who didnt have a name/table assignment to go to that table. It made for an interesting mix of people =P.
I'm so excited you're wedding is this weekend!! Did CJ tell you that I'm coming w/her too?? LOL!!! Totally kidding!! I hate RSVP's and how people ignore them. I have a gf getting married soon and another friend of ours sent her RSVP via text message. Really?!?! Texting your RSVP for not only yourself, but for the rest of your family who also received their own invitation. What are you people doing with the prepaid postage card that she sent you?? What a waste of postage!!
Enjoy your wedding. In the end...it's totally worth it.
Try not to think about it. DH & I talked about it at our reception, how many people RSVP'd that didn't show. In the end, it really doesn't matter. Enjoy the night with the people who are there to celebrate with you. Just relax and have a good time.
I kinda love the overflow table idea! Except I would probably call it something else...
