Invite mishap - please help

I am completely embarrassed and stunned that I managed to send out all 110 wedding invites without including any RSVP information. Back story - When I created my invites I had 2 templates, which were very similar, with what I thought was all the same information, clearly I was wrong. The invite we chose does not have any RSVP info on it, not even our website. *Que crying* Somehow this made it past myself, my MOH, my fiance, and both of our mothers before we sent the invites out. One of our guests mentioned it to me and I was for sure thinking they were joking. Nope... Some guests have figured it out from our previous shower invites to RSVP online, but I'm afraid not everyone will put two-and-two together.

I don't know if I should send an additional RSVP card out? Should I send out an email?

My mother and grandmother are telling me to send an email 2 weeks before the RSVP's are due. Is this a good idea? I am currently 8 weeks out from our wedding date and 6 weeks from my intended RSVP deadline.

PLEASE HELP!:'(

Def just email 2 weeks before. UNLESS some of the guests who need to rsvp are flying, then email now so they have time to make travel plans. My cousin did something similar. The email just said “ additional wedding details”. it doesn’t need to look like a mistake, you can just be like “ we’re so excited to see you, please see some additional info below for transportation lodging and RSVPS on our website below etc ect” just breatheeee. This ones an easy fix and no biggie

I would start contacting people via text, email, or over the phone ASAP. I wouldn’t wait until 2 weeks before the deadline.

I would send an email now, with a follow up two weeks before (or whenever you need the final guest count). Fortunately people were kind enough to mention this to you, so you can start getting the rsvp’s sorted out now. While it may take some time to track everyone down, this isn’t going to ruin your wedding.

I would call the ones who haven't RSVPd yet about 2 weeks before the intended RSVP date and ask them, and if they don't know yet by then then I would tell them that you need to know in 2 weeks. That way they have time to figure it out and you still meet your dead line.

I would start contacting people now. I would not wait until closer to the wedding day. Contact them now and follow up later.

I think I'd try to send an email now, especially if you have out of town guests who will need to make travel plans. Otherwise, I think just following up near the RSVP date is fine.

Reaching out sooner rather than later can give you a little peace of mind.

I would reach out now by email to everyone who has one and send a card to everyone who doesn't, this way you are at peace and can relax about it rather then stress until 2 weeks before. And then when RSVPs are due I would give the people who you have not heard from a call.

Don’t feel bad, I sent save the dates without the date! Haha but my wedding website was listed, so I’m playing it off like I was just forcing everyone to go to the website. Just send an email like others have said and you’ll be fine!
