No Rsvp, no dietary accomodations?

OG Gretchen, on June 29, 2018 at 9:22 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 31

I have a friend who is a notorious no show to events. She is also a vegan, so when she comes to an event there are always accomodations to be made for her diet. We had a party where we catered food and had to get additional items for her that were vegan friendly. She cancelled the day before. It was only a $14 loss, but it was still something we specifically made sure to work around for her. She has no showed at multiple parties/get togethers for our circle of friends, even when she says she is coming. She hasn't RSVPed for our celebration party or returned the follow up call. She is the only vegan we have. Is it ok for me to not order food for her from the caterer? Part of me feels guilty that she will literally have nothing to eat except fruit if she shows up because all of our dishes are prepared with butter or have meat and cheese in them except the fruit. The other part of me says that if she wanted to be accomodated she should have sent the card back or called. I have to put the final order in on Monday and am planning on not ordering the servings of vegan friendly items because it will be part of our final food total and nobody else will eat it. I'm being ridiculous, I can handle being told.

    Nope. Don't order if she didn't RSVP. She's an adult, she can pick up food on the way if she decides to show up with no notice.

    Agreed with pp. No rsvp = no food. Why go out of your way for her when she can’t do the bare minimum?

    I would def not order food for her. If she has nothing to eat she will learn that next time she should rsvp. She probably feels entitled and vip knowing that events she shows up to unannounced will have something specially for her. Need to break that rude habit of hers.

    I agree with all the other PP.. no RSVP, means you can't get upset that there aren't accommodations for you.

    Have you called the people who didn’t RSVP just to be sure they aren’t coming?

    I'm sorry but unless she rsvps don't waste tge time. Vegan is expensive and tedious to make at times and itll be a waste to make one thing and she doesn't show. Maybe you should just double check with her to see if she's still coming.

    She's the only non responder and she didn't return the call.

    Not your responsibility to cater to her if she has not rsvpd. It will be her own fault if she has nothing to eat.

    If she doesn't return your call by the time you turn in your order on Monday, I'd say she's out of luck.

    I wouldn't go out of my way to accommodate someone who didn't RSVP or return your follow up phone call.

    I wouldn't order it for her. You have already gone out of your way to try to make special accommodations, so as of now it is on her.

    I wouldn't order it for her unless she contacts you before you have to turn in the final order. If she tries to RSVP after that I would tell her that shes welcome to come but since she didnt RSVP in time or return follow up calls that you didnt order food for her since you didnt think she was coming.

    I agree with everyone else. No RSVP = no seat and no food. Sorry vegan, but you're out of luck.

    Yea I totally agree. You don’t need to more than accommodating to someone else’s lifestyle when they can’t be bothered to even tell you they’re attending. Yea- that would piss me off

    Don't order the meal. If she shows up simply tell her: Well you did not RSVP I did not hear from you when I called, so.....

    I wouldn’t order special food. As everyone else said, she is an adult and if she doesn’t rsvp, she can’t expect certain food.

    Heck no don't make special accommodations for someone and additional stress for yourself over someone who can't reciprocate. It's your day... if she shows up, she can bring a veggie tray from the local supermarket for herself. Ugh. Some people.
