How many Rsvps did you have to chase?

I still have a week before my rsvp deadline, but as of now, I still am missing 40 out of 90 invitation rsvps 🤦🏻‍♀️

Daughter only had 10 people (3 households) who hadn't responded by the RSVP, but hers was only about 3 weeks before the wedding so it might have been easier for people to know their schedule for certain. She had the outstanding RSVPs resolved within a day or two. Good luck! (Since you have so many, I might start with a BCC email or text reminder, and give people a day or two before you start phone calls. Hopefully, a quick prompt will get a response from the majority!)

Originally by the deadline i had to chase about 15-20 out of 80. and now we’re waiting for 5 that won’t respond and we’re getting married next month 😂

Ultimately 1.
On our RSVP date we were missing about 24 in the mail, but that night and into the weekend I got a few calls/texts/emails like “omg I forgot to put it in the mail!!” . I decided to give myself a week before I started reaching out to people and within that week I heard from everyone except for 1 person. It was clear a lot of people dropped them in the mail probably end of the day on the due date as a couple days later I came home to find EIGHT in the mailbox

Ours was Friday, 9/6 and we have 15 families to reach out to still.

View Quoted Comment Good luck! We had several come in the last week, so maybe you wont have to call so many.

View Quoted Comment Thank you! My FH did a group chat on FB and is getting some answers now!

View Quoted Comment Isnt that just rude? I mean I started my follow up yesterday and I can see that they have read the message, but won't say yay or nay. My next message will read, after a few pleasantries, if I dont hear back from you today, " I am going to assume you are not coming"

View Quoted Comment Thats not a terrible number! Best of luck to you!

We invited about 45 and are still missing about 10. But at the same time I'm having a hard time justifying spending hours on the phone when we are getting married in 28 days

View Quoted Comment That's great! I thought about just letting it be another week, but i want to move on to my "b" list of invites. People that we could only invite if we had room.

Our RSVP deadline is this Saturday & presently we are waiting for 42 responses (19 families) out of 214 guests who we invited.

View Quoted Comment Yes it’s super rude. like it’s not hard to say “i’m not sure yet i’ll let you know (this date)”
or “we can’t make it”
its not our jobs to guess and stress over a couple guests who haven’t helped us one bit

We invited 170 ppl and are still waiting on 45, which is 24 invites. Our deadline was the 4th so we’re going to wait until the 11th before we follow up with those who haven’t responded and we’ll give them until Friday to respond, otherwise they’ll be marked a decline.

My deadline is next Friday and I have received 22 RSVPs our if 75 sent out. It’s very frustrating considering my venue wants 1/2 payment the Monday after they are due. The head count for food has to be given the following Monday after that. I am going to be using all of next weekend calling 75% of my guest list. Which includes family I thought would have already had at least called me. At this point bc of the money being due, I can’t give them an option to “get back to me” I have to tell them that if they are unsure they are not being counted as we are having a sit down dinner. When the head count is given unfortunately if someone shows up per my venue there will be very little wiggle room and table will be set as to the list given and food will be cooked as to that as well. So they can come but they won’t eat unless my parents press the cook and venue. They recently changed their procedure, prices and cook so I got grandfathered in for price but head count will be final once given. It’s a tough spot to be in and I don’t want to make those calls either. I pray more come in this week.

I know! Im mostly getting this from people who haven't been to weddings in a while and clearly just don't get it. Never will I ever again procrastinate an rsvp lol

I like how consequential you are being. My FH wanted to do the same, but im paranoid about people just showing up. Good luck!

Our deadline was last week. We haven't received 17 rsvps (34 people), and I've decided I'm not going to chase them to get an answer. They're adults, can read, and I included a stamp on the return envelope. It's almost a relief because our catering budget will be half of what we estimated.

That's a lot. I guess I am grateful. We sent out around 56 invites and we have the majority of them back. We have I'd say around 15 invites left to rsvp and our closing date is September 20.

Our guests had our invites for 6 weeks before they were due (we sent save the dates out 10 months in advance), and we sent them with full stamped & addressed RSVP cards plus the option to RSVP online. The day after our RSVP date, I had to contact 61 people. By the following day, I had heard from all but 20 people. We invited 225 total.
