Need RSVP replys...should I make a post on FB or is that cheesy/wrong?I could also individually email each of them if that's better. I'm just not sure of the etiquette.

    Definitely don't make an announcement to your whole Facebook. Private message people, or better yet...call them!

    Thanks, girls. I guess it should've been a no-brainer, but I can't think straight lately! 30 more days! It's crazy!

    I'd do it one-on-one! Doing a FB post leaves room for RSVP squatters and people not seeing the post at all.

    I'm going through this now. If you're going to FB, send inbox messages to each one directly. Not a blast. My RSVP date was 2 days ago and I sent FB messages that evening when I didn't have any RSVP cards in the mail.

    I would email. My aunt got married last weekend and prior to made a FB post stating that she needed some RSVP's and that there was a change. She somehow included us in the FB post but we had never gotten an invite. It was just awkward and everyone was making fun of her for putting it on FB LOL

    I would call or text people individually. If you post on your facebook wall, what if 50 people who aren't invited say "What about our invitations, I'm so offended that you didn't invite me..." Email people if you don't need a reponse right away.

    Wait a week. After that, contact them by phone.

    You can do it if you have a private/secret wedding group page on FB. I'm actually going to do that b/c most of my friends and fam are on FB. And it's great for communicating something to a group. But definitely don't post it on your regular FB timeline. You don't need that kinda drama in your life!

    You could be sly like me and just post a generic status like, "ahh! Our first wedding RSVP's have arrived! So exciting!"

    I noticed a few extra's start coming in after that was on my status (and don't change your status for a good day or two after you post that - it stays in their feed longer and it makes it look like you haven't been on FB and that you have a life).

    Tip from RusticBride who is also a FB Whore.

    *My last comment was made under the assumption that your RSVP deadline has not yet passed but you still want people to wake the hell up and respond. You're also in the midst of vacations and 4th of July is next weekend, so people are at the pool, etc.*

    If your deadline has passed, call/text/private message it up!

    I agree with Rustic Bride. I just did something similar. I just posted a Yippie only 2 months until I get to marry my love (2 months to the date), I started getting some RSVPs after that Smiley laugh

    I have a "secret" Facebook group for all the guests invited to my wedding (basically only those people in the group see any of the information. If someone isn't a member of the group they can't stumble across it). I plan on using that first if I have outstanding RSVPs and then moving to calling/texting or messaging (by "regular" email or FB message) if I am getting close to wedding date and I need a response.
