FMS, the barefoot wife!
Master August 2010

1 week 'till RSVP deadline and...

FMS, the barefoot wife!, on June 7, 2010 at 12:10 PM Posted in Planning 0 13

I have 145 accepted, 11 declined and 114 left to respond. I thought these numbers were pretty good, perhaps I am wrong? My RSVP deadline is on the 14th, I thought I would send a facebook message to the remaining guests to remind them to RSVP please by what ever date. What is a good say to have the new 'deadline' and how would I word the message? I want it to not appear rude, but important that they rsvp and that anyone who doesn't rsvp will be contacted once again, and if there is still no reply, then I would mark them down as not attending? Any ideas Thanks!

    Depending on who has not RSVP'd yet, I would probably do most through phone calls that way they are less likely to procrastinate getting back to you.

    Dear Lazy Bast*rds,

    Get your RSVP's in so that you have something to eat at our wedding.

    I agree with Star phone calls would most likely force an answer

    Or, alternatively,

    Dear so and so,

    We are quickly getting closer to our big day! Our RSVP date is rapidly approaching and it would be really great to hear from you so that we can be certain there is enough seating and food to go around. Hope you can make it but be sure to let us know either way!

    Love,

    FMS and Mr. FMS.

    I would facebook them something like

    Hi everyone!

    We're trying to get our final count in for the wedding, please remember to send in your rsvps by ___ to have a reservation for dinner!

    then i would give them a day or two past that date to start calling all your remaning slackers!

    You still have so many left...I hope that doesnt happen to me Smiley sad But I bet you'll get a ton after you send out a reminder message

    We had 84 to track down a couple of days before the RSVP deadline! It amazes me how people don't RSVP!! And I even emailed some and they never responded, but mailed in the RSVP...of course it was a few days late! How rude!! Why not respond back with something?? Good luck with getting your RSVPs!

    I mailed my invites on May 24th, so 2 1/2 weeks ago. Deadline is June 26th, 2 1/2 weeks from now...I have heard back from 36 people (PEOPLE not Invites) which means 18 returned RSVP's. We invited 125. I am trying to be patient and hoping that I am going to get mass envelopes here.... I didn't get ANY yesterday! Don't these people understand that I NEED those envelopes to make my days happy? Sheesh! The best was when the neighbor came by this weekend to hand deliver his son's grad party invite but didn't bring their RSVP for our wedding...I so wanted to call him out on that one. They live NEXT DOOR and haven't RSVP'd!!!!

    I also have about 130 people left to rsvp but my due date was the 3rd! I contacted a few people through facebook and then called my parents and had them ask around. Good luck!
