Checking the mail has never been so much fun! Every day a few more RSVPs come in, and it just brightens my stress-filled days. I only wish it wasn't my wedding so that I'd have some quality hanging out time with everyone!
With a wedding the size of ours, there are a lot of people to keep track of on the guest list. I am not sure if there is an easier way, but I thought I'd share my method of keeping track of everyone.
1. I keep all the incoming cards for back up. And possibly a future scrap booking project.
2. I really have a deep love for excel spreadsheets. Therefore, I have all of my invitees on a basic excel list with their addresses. I use one line for each person, and if they are bringing an unknown to me person, I just have 'date' as a placeholder.
When I get in their RSVP they get highlighted on the left hand side so I know they wont need to get hunted down on January 8th. And then on the left I put the number of people coming. If they can't come, I just put a zero for good record keeping, lol.
If there is a baby involved, I just put them behind a slash so I can keep the kid head count separate. I am proud of page 1, almost all have responded! Good job guys.
I am hoping that we will get a good amount of RSVPs in this week and next week because the deadline is January 7th. I don't want to have to make a billion phone calls, but from what I read from other brides, it is pretty inevitable. Until then, I will be anxiously waiting by the mail box :)

We had our RSVP's sent back to my Fiance's parents house because our mail is kind of sketch where we live, so unfortunately I didn't get to share in the joy of receiving the RSVP's. I love spreadsheets too, but I think that is the Accountant in me talking, haha! I did something similar with keeping track. We actually didn't have that many people to track down, but we still had some none the less. I hope you don't have a ton to track down!
