Shower RSVP's

It's bringing back nightmares of the wedding! I thought I'd have a clean break from rsvp's since I'm not handling them but with my mother and I being so close she literally calls me every time someone rsvp. She's very excited about the shower (which I'm so grateful for) but she's never been to a baby shower besides her own and that was 24 years ago! Therefore she's a little out of the loop with things. Well the deadline to rsvp is Oct 27th but she's calling me asking why not a lot of people have confirmed. I told her some people like to wait until the last minute, some may not call at all etc. I said it was nothing we could really do until after the 27th to get a final headcount. She keeps asking me how to record the number coming, to decipher messages that aren't clear (which really are) and I honestly think she's thinking to much into things and making it more complicated. I just can't wait until all the guests are accounted for and this part of the shower is over. I just want to get to the cake and gifts!!!

How did your baby shower go? Where you involved with the planning (intentionally or not)?

RSVP's UPDATES

We sent out rsvp's last weekend and they have been coming in pretty much everyday. However we've gotten a few that gave us a good laugh. Apparently our guests either don't know how to fill out an rsvp or are just totally clueless. In this case I think it may be both! What am I referring to? Well we have gotten a few responses with NO NAMES! Seriously who does that? So apparently on top of planning my wedding and all the things that come along with it , I now have to put my physic hat on and figure out who these guests are. On top of that what gets me tickled is that our rsvp's are in postcard form so there's an area where you can leave a little note, which in this case would have been helpful in figuring out who they are. So as of now we have 4 guests that have RSVP yes and we have no clue who they are! I guess somebody will be getting a courtesy call from me after July 11Th (the deadline)!

I can't wait to see what other rsvp situations arise! Did you have guests that responded with no name? How did you handle it?

First RSVP!

It came in the mail yesterday, and It was like I had received a million dollar check in the mail, well not really but it was exciting! We all know in the wedding world that receiving RSVP'S back really makes the process seem soo real. I just hope I won't have to call ton's of people for missing the deadline, which is July 11th.

Here's the very first RSVP I received and since we did postcards it had a little message too!

The message reads: Ms. Motown, I couldn't be prouder of you. You have accomplished so much, you have such drive and I love you so much. Mr. Motown, welcome to our family, I love you, take good care of my niece, Love Auntie Motown

Here's a recent picture of Me and Auntie Motown at Momma Motown's Birthday Party:

Thank you Auntie Motown for such a prompt response, I can't wait to see you on the big day!
