No rsvp Response... no longer invited.

Mandi, on March 20, 2020 at 7:20 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 17
So anyone else have guests who didn't RSVP and then ignore your attempts to get ahold of them?



Anybody else decide to kick those people off their guest list for their rescheduled wedding?
My theory is that if they weren't polite enough to respond to either attempts the first time, I don't need to spend more money on an invite that they'll potentially just ignore again.

    I had people who didn’t respond and after my repeated attempts to get their RSVP I just decided they were a no.

    I think if you leave them a voicemail/send them a text or email saying “we need to know by x date, if we haven’t heard from you by then we will mark you down as a no” then you’re fine.

    Right. But if you postponed your wedding and had to send out new invites would you waste more money so they could do the same thing again?

    Right. I did that. But now I have to reschedule. And I'm thinking if they were that rude before, why waste my time, money, and effort on them again.

    I think at the moment people might have more pressing issues on their minds than RSVPing to a wedding. I would try to be a little more understanding and would send an invitation once the wedding is rescheduled.

    I don’t think you’d be in the wrong to not send them another invitation. If they weren’t responsive the first time I wouldn’t count on them being responsive the second. I would have been extremely annoyed and wouldn’t want to waste my energy again. 😅

    My invitations were sent 9 weeks ago. RSVPs due 3 weeks ago.
    Things didn't get 'serious' in my midwestern town til last week.
    So my understanding is that they were rude.

    Girl I agree. Our deadline was march 1st. If they didn't RSVP it's a no. Sorry not sorry

    I agree why would I waist my time on them when they not even reply or try to get in touch me. I have a few I am still inviting but they are family and I was not planning on them attending anyway. I figured that I may have less than a hundred now with reschedule and that is fine. I’m throwing the reception for her and me. And I have made sure there is leftover if all so we have for brunch the next day with guests

    My own sister hasn’t returned RSVP yet. So I guess it depends on who how close or not worth the stamp.

    I think it's fine, especially if you followed up with them the first time. If they acted like your wedding wasn't happening the first time, they don't need to be notified that anything has changed.

    I agree with many of the previous posters. If they didn't respond to your initial RSVP and dodged your attempts of contacting them, I would consider them a no-show and honestly I wouldn't even tell them your new wedding date.

    Yes, girl! Totally agree! I wouldn't waste the time. I can't believe how many people are so inconsiderate. I'm very selective about who's getting an invite to my wedding in the first place lol

    How did you attempt to contact them the first time?

    No, I asked how you reached out to them when they didn't RSVP, not whether you reached out to them. If it was something they could have missed, like an email or mass text, then I think you should give them another chance. If you called them and left a voicemail asking them to give you an answer by X date and they never responded, then I think choosing to sever the relationship makes more sense, though it's not a choice I would make unless there were more to the story.
