Billing people who don't show up after Rsvp'ing

Nope. My sister is, though, for my bachelorette tea because she prepaid based on the RSVPs.

I would definitely find out, however, why they weren't there and maybe guilt them a bit.

Nope, nope, nope.

Never. If they're invited, they are considered a friend/family member. I couldn't possibly charge anyone who fits in that category. Since I'm planning on paying for them anyway, what's the difference? except that I will miss his/her smiling face.

Ummm...how could you possibly enforce that?

I honestly wish I could but I'm sure most would agree that's pretty damn classless so I couldn't bring myself to do it. That's honestly my biggest wedding fear. If I'm paying damn near $200/pp to be there and you say you're coming I better not waste that damn $200 that could have easily went elsewhere.

We have to reach a food minimum at my venue either way. Thing is, it right actually be harder to reach if they didn't show. I'd be to chicken to bill anyone, though!

I wouldn't do it, but I've told people I'm going to. Especially my flaky family.

Hell to the no. Keep it classy.

I wouldn't even consider it.

They may have had an emergency come up or otherwise good reason. People generally don't just rsvp yes meaning to not show up in order to spite the couple. Even if they DID do it out of spite I think it's important to be a gracious host.

Eh, you really can't, but that's another good reasonto ONLY invite people who wouln't miss it for anything.

I don't think you can do that fora wedding. Period.

We are asking for a deposit for the coed bach weekend….they deposit covers the cabin rental and that way if people flake no one will have to make up their part of the rental.

Interesting thought but I agree you can't really do that.

Luckily ours evened out between no-shows and non-rsvp'ers but if a lot of people didn't show up, i'd be royally pissed and definitely track down why

I think that is in bad taste for sure. I also think that I would only invite those in which I know will be coming for sure not the ones who are a not so sure!

Yea, I really don't think that would be productive. In theory it's a valid wish, and it's kindof funny, just wouldn't go through with it.

I told her that she's brave for that, and that I personally could never do that. I agree that it's classless. Id prob have people not speaking to me after that, and I'm pretty sure if they were billed, that they wouldn't pay anyway........they'd probably blast me all over social media for it too lol! I've never actually heard of that before at a wedding though.......so I was very interested in seeing your comments!

It's one of those things everyone wants to do, like telling a rude customer who doesn't tip your table he's a jerk.....just not a good result or good return if you actually do it, LOL
