Is it OK for a Bridesmaid to Call Shower Guests Who Haven't RSVP'd

Yes, I'm the MOH. But there are no MOH-forums, and I need help. RSVP's for the shower were due today. Over half the invitees have not returned their reply cards. We need the final # for the caterer no later than Saturday (it's a small buffet at the Church Hall). Who is responsible for calling them...

Who is responsible for calling them to inquire if they are coming or not? The bridal party was given only the mailing addresses. We don't feel it's appropriate for the bride to be involved in calling guests, as it is a shower in her honor. But - she doesn't feel it's right to give out her guests' phone numbers. Yet their addresses were OK...

I've accidentally forgotten to send a reply card before, and have received a call from the MOH of that wedding, whom I didn't know, so I don't see the problem.

Bridal showers are organized by the bridal party, so isn't it assumed that the bride will give the BP the guests' info, including address & phone number, to make sure they are invited and show up?

Thank you for your advice!

    See This is what it is all about! You are a perfect example of a great MOH. I absolutely hope that the bride you are helping is there for you when it is your turn. Hats off to you!

    I was late to this party, but I'm glad I came just to read that story. That is some of the most insane ish I've ever heard. Good for you for keeping your composure.

    Thanks @Lindsay W.

    See, I knew I was right, mwahaha, but I compromised with the bride to calm things down.

    @Just reenski - Thanks - it was a messed up situation and I can laugh about it now, but at the time, it was painful to realize a good friend wasn't really who I thought they were.
