I did not get negative feedback; our date is July 18, and we have made our RSVPs for the end of March. So far we have gotten ONE RSVP back in the mail. Quite a few people have called or texted us or the families to tell us they cannot come, or they contacted our travel agent right away, but apparently they thought the RSVP cards (postcards) were too cute to get rid of. Seriously? What are they going to do with them? Wish I had not spent money on stamps! Melissa, when is your final payment due? Ours is middle of April (which is why I made the RSVPs end of March)... Now I am a little worried that we will end up with people contacting between the RSVP and final payment date - or worse, after the final payment date - to come or not. I will just take it easy though - you book after that, you are on your own for group stuff I think. I have been collecting OOT stuff off and on throughout our engagement. This weekend I am putting together what I have for the people we know are coming - and maybe one or two extra. So glad I do not have 10 extra like you!
