Invites were sent and there is info for RSVP to my best friend so why do people keep leaving their RSVP on facebook?

Her facebook or yours? If it's hers, I guess they are RSVP-ing. We did regrets only (as usual) for this exact reason. People are busy and forget. From my experiences hosting quite a few events it's easier to assume people are coming. I know if i'm not planning on going to something I respond right away so I don't forget. I don't know why it's so hard for people to RSVP, it just is.
If it is on her facebook, i guess that counts.
I just can't stand when people don't RSVP. DH fathers side of the fam is notorious for not RSVPing, Some didn't even RSVP for our wedding- Hello self addressed stamped envelope! Arggg
That is annoying ani25! It sounds like a lot of people are having issues with RSVP's...I'm having some baby shower issues myself - for a while I thought maybe no one was throwing me a shower because I hadn't heard anything. Finally my DH checked in with my mom and a close friend and found out that yes, I'm having a baby shower, but they apparently want it to be a surprise. No one has checked in with me about dates, who to invite, registry info etc. and I'm almost 7 mos...I don't want to come off as a control freak, but I'm starting to get worried that if they wait too long to send invites, people will have already made other plans (it is summer after all). I've even had a neighbor and coworker offer to throw me a shower because they thought it was odd they hadn't heard anything about one yet - should I just tell my Mom/friend that I don't want a surprise and to please include me in the planning, or is that way too rude? Are my pregnancy hormones causing me to become totally neurotic?
Ugh! That sucks. Well I guess just try to look at the bright side, they are replying and pass it on to your hostess. Sorry they are being lame.

I hear you. This is happening to me on DH's side of family. My mom wanted to include everyone on DH's side of family (she didn't throw anything for me for my small scale wedding and wanted to host a large baby shower). SIL gave my mom 2 names of people to invite, adding "they probably won't come anyway because of the distance" (mom's shower is about an hour away from said 2 people) then added she would organize something for their side of family. Well guess what - I'm 30 wks and nothing has been mentioned at all about a surprise shower on that side (not a word to even DH and he would totally tell me), no dates, nada. So its very doubtful they will do anything.
The thing that annoys my mom is she was willing and was planning on hosting both families. Had budgeted for it, the whole 9 yards. This is family that lives an hour to an hour and a half away. If they chose to not come because of the distance, that would totally be their choice, however she wanted to at least include them. There's really nothing we can do at this point.
Good Luck!!
