Caterer Not Responding

I always wait about 10-days and if you still haven't had a response the follow up with a phone call. Keeping in mind, depending on where you are, they could just be reopening and getting things back on track.

I agree with calling, but based on the venues daughter got estimates from I think it is fairly standard practice when offering multiple entree selections that you are charged the cost of the most expensive entree for all guests. So if steak is $8 more than your next most expensive option, your price pp will be at the "steak rate" regardless of what people actually order.

I would just worry that your guests aren't going to know that far in advance if they will be able to attend. There is so much going on in the world that their rsvp could very easily change between now and your wedding especially if there is a second wave like they are predicting.

To you, to me... it's not a lot to do to acknowledge an email and yes, it's the right thing to do. But again, you have no idea what's happening there. Be patient. I had to wait 3 months for our venue / resort to reopen and even when they did - it was still skeleton staff and still had to wait another week for an emailed response.

I get it, it's hard to be patient and we want it to be all about us the wedding party, but we also have to remember there are lot more people out there that are probably in the same / similar boat you're in.
