Closin' In...

...on the RSVP deadline!

This is exciting stuff, people.

On our list, there are a total of 91 parties that are invited to our wedding and all but 22 have RSVP'd. Our deadline (per our wedding website) is July 21st. That's just 6 days away! While we have a pretty good idea who will come and who won't, it will still be nice to get the official numbers in soon.

We have a few people that are obviously coming  who haven't RSVP'd yet (mainly family), so with those numbers calculated in to the total, we're looking good! Now we just have to have them take a couple minutes to fill out the RSVP form, easy peasy. Our spreadsheet is not only keeping track of numbers, but also vegetarian meals and is calculating how many little welcome bags we need for the out-of-town guests.
This weekend we will take a look at who hasn't contacted us yet, and will email/contact those who may have forgotten.

We're in the process of making pie charts (because Matt loves to do little things like this with Excel!) of the number of "yes" v. "no" and also the percentage of out-of-town guests v. in town guests. Should be interesting to see the final tally!

Once everyone has RSVP'd then we are going to try to nail down seating charts before we go home. It's a goal, but it might not happen just because it will probably take the entire last week we're in Korea to track people down. Wishful thinking, though! We'd like to get as many paper projects done and printed here, so we can work on larger stuff in Maine.

Loving the marriage advice from all of those who have submitted their RSVPs, friends and close family alike. We were thinking of maybe writing down those pieces of advice and displaying them at the reception in some way, shape or form. Who knows!

Exciting stuff!
