What will happen if I don't wear my retainers for a week?

I left my retainers at a friends house and they just went on vacation and won't be able to get it back to me for about a week. What will happen? Will they shift to the point where it won't be possible to use the retainers to get them back to their regular spots? I'm very worried.
