I am getting married in May of 2020. I have a lot on my plate and to save money my fiance and I are doing planning ourselves. I just sent out invites three weeks ago and a very very small number of people have RSVP'ed. We are doing a plated meal and people need to RSVP prior so we have a count and know how much food to order. It honestly drives me crazy that people don't plan and I can picture getting dozens of calls and emails in a few months asking me about this so I want to get ahead of it before it's a huge headache.
I want to know what would be the best way for me to remind people en masse that they need to RSVP so I'm not roped into doing a ton of work calling everyone individually. I have friends in different groups, some of whom I have phone numbers for, some I have emails for, and some I have on Facebook, while a lot of my relatives I only have addresses for. I just want to figure out a way to get people to RSVP without it being a ton of work on my end or costing more money with another mailing.
Tips appreciated! Also I'd like to know timelines for when you should remind and then stop accepting RSVPs. Or do you? I'm not sure! Thanks in advance.
