Okay, I know I have been MIA, I am planning and getting ready to get married 7/12/03. I am have a small/medium size wedding 125-150 people. I am wondering about RSVP's my future mother-in-law said that Black people have a tendency to not RSVP. I always RSVP, but I have not recieved that many RSVP's and they need to be returned by July 1. However I have got a HUGE amount of friends, family linesisters, etc who have emailed or called and can't wait to come. I thought it may have been a "class" issue but these are educated people who know better. I am like can you put the stamped enevelope back in the mail. We are having a reception and paying for XYZ # so I would like to have a decent estimate on the number of actual guests. What are your experiences with RSVP's for those who are married, and are there those out there who don't RSVP? If I can pay for less people than neccesary that would be awesome.
