WTF!
So we are receiving replies from our invitation. Today 2 come back, totally blank! No name, no "will" or "will not attend" checked off, no meal selection! Last week, we received one that had no name, but 2 will attend and they both want prime rib!
What is the matter with these people! I think they are Chris' guests though judging from the PO stamps...
I wish I numbered each card!
Make sure you number each card to a particular guest!
It will save you a lot of frustration!

How bizarre! We didn't get any that were blank but my mom and dad were so excited to send it back they filled their names in but didn't check whether they were coming or what they want to eat. They wrote a really nice sentiment on the back of the card though.
I guess at the end of the RSVP period you'll have to make a few phone calls, and offer "Response Card Etiquette 101" to those that respond, "Of course we're coming. Didn't you receive our response card?"
Our RSVP deadline was yesterday and we still have 24 response cards outstanding (50 people; 1/4 of the guest list). 21 of the cards are on Bob's side, 2 of the couples go to the post office every day to pick up their mail (just drop it in the mail box, PLEASE!), and some we know have already reserved hotel rooms.
Thank you for validating the time I spent numbering and correlating on response cards! I am knee deep in stuffing my envelopes right now... at least I feel good about one of the things that made it take longer :)
I'm curious to find out who they were- let us know if you ever figure it out!
Kelli- ouch! I'd give a few days though, because some people really do believe you have to mail-by that date, no matter what it says. I seriously question if people get dumber when it comes to wedding related things!
That is very bizarre! I did send a response card without filling out the dinner options recently. I filled out the name Mr. & Mrs. because it is taking place after our wedding, but never asked Troy what he wanted for dinner, then didn't want to mail until after our wedding, and completely forgot to put the meals on, thankfully it was a very close friend I see several times a week so it wasn't a big deal. But I can't imagine not putting ANYTHING on the card, or that you got so many of them.
Kelli - give it another day or two then assign people based on whose side it is or how close they are to call and follow up with them. It sucks but you shouldn't have too much trouble getting a response one way or the other before your deadline!
Good Luck!!!
You are all right! We've received 8 responses in the last two days. We're waiting until the end of the week to assign the phone calls.
