Anyone else waiting on people to RSVP

My first and only shower is in two weeks and over half of the 80 guests have not RSVP'd. This got me a little worried so I checked my registries out, and not very much has been purchased. I'm feeling a little panicky now about how much we'll have to spend ourselves that I was kind-of counting on getting at our shower (I hope this doesn't sound greedy - I just thought we'd be getting a lot of help from the shower). I guess it's also hard to understand why people don't RSVP to events (etiquette-wise).
Has anyone else had this problem? Maybe I'm just feeling overwhelmed over how much is left to do...

Re: Anyone else waiting on people to RSVP
Are the RSVPing directly to you? That seems odd to me.
Anyway, not everyone RSVPs. If it is getting super close, your hostess could call/email around and see who is coming, otherwise, I wouldn't worry about it.
My shower was last weekend and only a couple of things came off my registry until the day before my shower, then several things where purchased. Remember not everyone will shop off the registry, over half my guest did not shop the registry. Also, only 4 of my guest actually RSVP'd, way more than 4 people came.
Calm down, I am sure it will be fine.
I had this too, but it was mainly with DH's side of the family (so annoying) I got so fed up I had him just start asking them, sincee there was an RSVP by date on the invite and they needed a final count.
Luckily most of the guests on my side I was close enough to to just ask, "are you going or not?" and that worked.
If you have a deadline then I suggest just asking people or having someone else do it. I think it is rude when people totally ignore an invite to say yes or no. But don't stress--more people will prob show than you think! And don't worry about the registry either, everything will fall into place.

My shower is in three weeks, and the invites have been out for three weeks (my dad is out of work from surgery and had nothing else to do but write out the invites haha!) My parents are hosting the shower, and my dad says not many people have RSVP'd yet...
and I find this pretty rude but (with my bridal shower most of DH's family called his mother and told her if they were going or not).... even though she is not a host nor is her number on the invitation to call (just like with the bridal shower).. which I am sure they are doing again...
My shower is 3 weeks away and out of 45 people only 17 have rsvp'd. Invites have been out for a week now... There has been a few things coming off my registry but really not that much. Like other said most people don't shop until the week before and then they buy things from other stores and not off the registry. I am sure it will all work out in the end.
