Did you confirm receiving guests rsvp?

No and no. I see where you are coming from, and the control freak in me would want to do the same thing. But most people save the invitation until the wedding as a reminder. People should assume that their RSVP will get there, and people should remember when the wedding is. You're inviting adults, not middle schoolers.

If they don't RSVP by the deadline, then you call them up and ask if they are coming. You don't need to send reminders for ppl who did RSVP.

I'm a control freak too and have thought about this myself. Outside of tracking non responders down last month I have not contacted anyone to let them know we received their RSVP and I am not reminding anyone. Like said above they are adults. When I'm invited somewhere, after I RSVP no one has to remind me. I put the date on my calendar.

The only people I confirmed receipt of RSVP were people who have asked if I got it, because they can't remember if they actually put it in the mail or if got lost and they only THOUGHT they sent it. LOL

No to both questions - too much work and frankly, I never thought of doing such a thing.

No way! This could go infinite if you did. Send out invite. Receive RSVP. Acknowledge receiving RSVP. They acknowledge receiving your acknowledgement. And so on. LOL

LOL, @KAT - where have you been? Or have I just missed your posts?

Yeah, I am a control freak, but I'm glad that's not something else I have to do. My FH's BF lost his invitation, and another friend lost hers too and when she asked about the details, my FH told her the wedding was last weekend (it wasn't.....he's such a joker). She freaked out and sent her sincerest apologies. Lol...Anyway, that got me thinking that reminders might be necessary. But if it isn't the norm, I won't do it. I already have so much to do! 27 more days!

I have, only because we chose to do RSVP via phone or email. I've responded with a simple "thank you, we can't wait to see you guys!" To all emails just so they know they didn't end up in my junk mail or spam or whatever. So far no back and forth

That said, I only have 45 guests and 18 invites/RSVP's so it's no biggie for me. If we had a larger group I would've done it differently so I wouldn't need to respond

At first I was fretting because I planned on hunting down my RSVPs who haven't responded yet, but pretty much everyone has told me to let it go. If they don't respond, they're probably not coming. I gave myself some wiggle room from the RSVP date to when I actually need to give my numbers to my venue, caterer, etc. but I feel so much better not hunting them down. Haha.

Of course I'll add a few extra plates/seats just in case, but still. There's no time to respond to everyone who has or hasn't responded. Haha.

Actually yes I am responding to every RSVP I am getting...it is all going to my email anyways. I am just letting people know that I appreciated their response and also making a personal comment. We have already received accepts and declines. It has been super fun so far touching base with these people along the way!

Not sending out out reminder but anyone that hasn't booked a room (which I get a list of who has booked) by Oct 15th will be getting a call or message from me letting them know that they need to book ASAP (as they should have booked by Sept 30th at the latest to receive the discounted room price.
