rsvp Rant

I’m not sure if I am being too controlling or impatient, but are any of you frustrated about waiting for your RSVPs?

I’m not sure if I am being too controlling or impatient, but are any of you frustrated about waiting for your RSVPs? My wedding is on 4/22 and I sent out my invitations on 2/18 with a RSVP date of 3/20. Guests can RSVP online or by mail and I included a stamp, and the envelopes were addressed so all they have to do is drop it off. I know I am still 10 days away, but everyone is so slow at sending in their responses and it’s stressing me out. Save the dates were sent out before the holidays so people were aware of the date, I guess I just don’t understand the delay. I’m trying to be proactive in getting my seating chart done, the favors are being provided through my venue so they need plenty of time to have it packaged, and I need to give the final table number to my florist. I know people are still trying to gauge how things will be regarding COVID but as we know it’s constantly changing but it won’t be going anywhere by April. And I keep telling myself people have to make arrangements because their lives aren’t centered around my wedding, I’m just getting so antsy. I want to start calling people and asking them to reply, but I’m trying to be patient. This is more of a rant but has anyone else felt this way.

    I’ve reached out to people who haven’t responded several times and I still haven’t gotten back an accept or decline from them. I just get “Oh I’m going to get back to you” I was wondering if I should just remove the RSVP option from the website since we’ve reached the deadline. Now that I saw your comment I’m definitely removing it. They had plenty of time to respond.

    If your wedding is in August, it's too early for an RSVP deadline. That's probably why you're having trouble getting responses!

    I got most of my responses almost immediately. There are people that didn’t respond to me personally reaching out to them. That’s rude. The couple that said they needed time to plan and decide were told that whenever they knew to just let us know. Simple. *shrugs*

    It's also rude to request an extra early RSVP from your guests.
