Late Rsvp’s are so annoying

Christina , on June 9, 2019 at 9:52 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 9
We asked for RSVP’s back on June 1st and here it is June 9th and we got an RSVP back for a family of SEVEN PEOPLE!!! And a couple! Is that not just so rude and disrespectful? A part of me wants to politely tell them that it’s too late but the family of seven is from my FH’s step-mom’s side and everyone else from her side either didn’t RSVP or declined so she probably really wants them there... I just think it’s so so rude to not RSVP when asked knowing that we set that date for a reason (which is because we need a final number for food and favors). Anyone else experience this? How’d you deal with it?

    Did you not reach out to people after the RSVP date to confirm if they were coming or not?

    Even though these are adults fully capable of checking a box, Victoria has a good point. Reach out and remind them - maybe they plain forgot or their invite got lost in the mail. Super frustrating, but has to be done!

    My RSVP date is the 15th and I have tons of people who have yet to RSVP. You best believe I'm calling people on the 16th lol.

    It is always good to reach out to people who do
    net RSVP. It could have gotten lost in the mail she could have told her kid to put it in the mailbox and they did not and she just found it. snail mail could have been Super slow. My Save the date took 3 weeks to get to a local family. But it got to out of state people before them.

    It is rude. Our RSVP date is today and we are waiting on 61 people to respond haha! Good thing I left myself 10 days to contact all those people.

    Hello all! I reached out after sending invites to make sure everyone got them AND again a couple days after the due date for RSVP’s and it was very helpful. However, some people just didn’t respond when asked or would say something like “I might be able to go” 😠 As an adult, you shouldn’t have to be nagged about the invite/RSVP imo... I did give myself a 13 day leeway between the due date and order date nonetheless it’s still frustrating and irritating to get an RSVP for that many people over a week after the due date.
    Also, there people who we STILL haven’t heard from and the number is due this Thursday. I’m just going to add a few just in case.

    I am curbing this by reminding friends/family the week they are due in a simple facebook announcement. It helps curb a lot of the late ones (my friend did this and it actually reminded me to send in the RSVP), but I think it is inevitable that anyone has late RSVPs. I would just tell those remaining ones kindly that your head count is due and that you need a final answer of yes or no and that you hope they can join you on the special day!

    Did you make a wedding group on FB? The reason why we didn’t is because we thought it’s be rude to those whom we didn’t invite

    I haven't sent invites yet, too early. But you could've easily create a group message with the guests who haven't rsvp'd yet. I didn't not invite my friends or family same with FH, so we wouldn't feel bad on a public post. There's always those acquaintances who try to be funny and say "tfti", but really it's like okay we don't even talk to you on a regular basis and aren't friends, you're an acquaintance of a friend or a friend of a friend. Anyways, too little to late since your rsvp date passed! Hopefully you get the answers you need!
