Thank you!! Basic Invite did free address printing and it was a huge time saver!

That’s so exciting!! I just sent mine out a couple days ago! We only have gotten one with a “return to sender” sticker so I’m hoping that’s a positive sign for what’s to come!! When do you get married?? 😁

August 16th! We had one "return to sender" for our STD's and what's weird is the person has lived at that house for over 50 years and didn't move. So I have no idea what happened there! Lol.

Oh my gosh! I need to get on this! Mine aren't ready yet. I DIY'd mine and they came out awesome, but I'm addressing mine by hand. I need to double check a few addresses, write them out and buy stamps.

Our wedding is August 10th, with an RSVP date of July 20th. We are going on a big family vacation in July and I want to make sure everyone gets their invites before they leave town.

How exciting! Does it feel more real after getting the invites in the mail?

It feels SO real now!! We've been engaged since March of 2018 and I kept telling myself "Once you start getting RSVP's, then it's really happening!" Now I can start thinking about seating arrangements and who's REALLY going to be there. Our RSVP date is July 19th! I bet your invitations look awesome!

Congratulations! I was so excited when we sent ours out!

It makes it feel so real!! I'm sure I'll freak out when the first RSVP comes back in the mail, haha.

We still do! It's super exciting getting them back.

What's your RSVP count as of right now? How many acceptances/declines?

View Quoted Comment

We still have 10 days until our RSVP date. We have 35 "no", 85 "yes", and waiting on 112 people. We have a very large amount of out of state guests so we expected a large amount of declines. That count includes significant others, plus ones, and kids too!

Oh yay that's awesome!! We're hoping for some declines. Were inviting 133 people, but hoping for around 110ish guests total. We have a lot of OOS guests as well!

View Quoted Comment

Yeah! We invited 225, but would be happy with 150 guests. I'm not sure we will get 75 declines (and we were prepared for 225 guests when we sent invites out) but you never know!

I've been told you get surprised by who says "yes" and who says "no". We already had a family friend who lives on the East Coast (wedding is in California) say they are coming and have already booked their hotel - we were totally shocked! We didn't expect them to make the trip at all.

That's awesome! We've had one surprise RSVP yes from San Diego (wedding in Denver) but the rest I was pretty sure of. My family is pretty predictable & so is our friend, so far I've guessed right on almost all our guests haha!

Are you waiting until all RSVP's are back before starting to think about table/seating charts? I was thinking of "adding" people to the virtual seating chart program on WeddingWire as I get RSVP's and then finalize everything once everyone responds, but not sure if that will stress me out more lol

I started ours in All Seated, like a rough sketch. Just since I'm pretty confident I know who is coming & who isn't! I'll probably really start working on it after the RSVP date though!

Awesome! Thank you for the advice, I won't feel crazy starting mine early then. Lol!

Congratulations!! I can't wait to send mine out, I'm jealous! haha
