Shower RSVPs

I know someone vented on here recently about wedding RSVPs...can I just add in my gripe about women who don't respond to shower invites?! PITA! So friggin' rude! Like, it's not enough that I took the time to assemble, address, stamp and mail the invite, but I now have to make time to call you to ask if you're coming?! Yeesh! It never ceases to amaze me just how inconsiderate some people can be.

Re: Shower RSVPs

  • lol at this. For the shower I recently had for the birth of my nephew I invited SIL who I don't talk to through MIL. I then asked MIL twice if SIL was coming or not and she was super non-comital. Two days before the shower DH called and said I needed to know to which MIL responded by asking why it was so important that SIL RSVP. (Like seriously, obviously I want to know for a reason not just to bug you). I was co-hosting this shower with my SIL (who had the baby (the good SIL))'s mom. She had made these cute little name tags for the grandmas and aunts and there was none for the SIL who didn't RSVP because we didn't know she was coming. MIL asked where SILs was and was more than a little embarrassed/upset when I told her we didn't know she was coming so we didn't make her one. OH WELL.

    Ok, now that I hijacked your post. Sorry.

  • That is one of my pet peeves too.  I mean don't people understand that the way to have a sucessful party of any sort is being able to pre-plan everything, especially the guest count.

    This is what I am worried about. Not hearing from someone, assuming that they are not coming, then having them show up. Especially if they are someone who "matters", ya know?

    People's lack of ability to RSVP is really astounding.

    My sister had a really hard time collecting RSVP's for my shower that was this past weekend. She had to call quite a few of the ladies and some of them still gave her indecisive answers. Two people who had RSVPed yes didn't show up. I really don't understand why its so hard for some people. I have always RSVP the moment I get a invite. Sometimes I get the impression its because they are waiting for something better to come up.
