Late RSVP's

Call them.

I had a large handful of late RSVPs. We called them, and they are ALL coming with the exception of one couple.

They are people I want at my wedding, which is why I invited them, so I gave them a call to be sure. What if someone did send their RSVP and it got lost in the mail, and you don't call because you assumed they were being rude?

Start calling, since it sounds that you already waited a week from your RSVP date, so your numbers are probably due right about now.

A lot of the late/no response people are very distant relatives. We really only wanted immediate family to come. The other people were invited mostly because our families requested that we invite them. The only contact information that we have for them is their address, so most of the people would be impossible to call.

Sorry for sounding rude as well, we have had a lot of communication issues with our wedding and I am tired of holding everyones hands to make sure they get their parts done! :o(

If you didn't really want them there, then they shouldn't have been invited. If someone did send the RSVP and it got lost in the mail, they'll show up and you'll be like, "Wha....?" They did their part, the mail didn't. You can have your parents (or whoever decided your list for you) call to verify whether they plan on attending, and letting them know they will be missed if they are unable to respond quickly. You also want to give them a heads up that it's not a free for all they can just show up to.

My wedding is the same day as yours and my RVSP deadline was the 1st of August and i am still getting handfuls by mail everyday! i'm missing about 30 but ppl have been calling me and letting me know that it's in the mail...

So you'll probably keeping getting them for another week or so...

But then i would call them if i were you! That's what i've done with a couple also because i know ppl forget. I love the responses are when you ask them... "oh crap i forgot to put it in the mail... i'll do that now"! lol

Thanks ladies! I should call those of us who we really wanted there. We got into a bad spot inviting people that our families wanted, they were important to them and not us, so I dont care if they come, less people to feed! lol

We have gotten a few that rsvp that they are not coming and than they call the in laws and tell them they are coming? guh even more frustrating!

Yea I have talked to a couple people, did you need this mailed back? No....the self addressed stamped postcard was for looks...

Please don’t forget to change your avatar so we remember you and so we can separate brides from spammers! Here’s how to do that and more! Happy planning!
