No rsvp Table of Shame...

I'm done chasing RSVPs. Deadline was last week.

I've got 7 invites outstanding.
And I've got one "maybe", but they're in Nashville, and I'm not going to bother them about my wedding. Theyve got way bigger things to care about. I'll happily provide them seats if they show, at a planned table.
I'm a little annoyed because I have a handful of people who are just being rude and not responding.
And I've got 3 invites out to people who will probably just show up anyway.
So I ordered 5 extra servings, I'll throw 8 chairs at a table. That table gets to be last to the buffet. And they're going to be a weird motley crew of people, but I don't care.
I'm over all of this. And I'm not going to scramble to set up a table for people who didn't RSVP. Don't see your name on the seating chart? Tough luck. I didn't see your RSVP hit my mail. You don't get to sit with your friends, your table is in that corner with the rest of the people who dont think they have to RSVP.

You’re more generous than me. No rsvp, no dinner. I would be like Oh I assumed you weren’t coming since you didn’t receive a RSVP. I’m sure the staff might be able to pull something together.

You go girl. We did the same thing with the people who couldn't be bothered to go to the convenient link and take five minutes out of their day. I threw them at a table and just shrugged my shoulders. They can eat last and enjoy the corner table. And the few who did decline through my mom I marked them in my rsvp system because they couldn't bother. Ready to be married.

Girl my RSVP date is Wednesday and we have 100 people who haven't RSVPed. I will attempt to track them down once and then nope, you're not coming. I never even thought about having a few extra seats/table for them, I don't even think I'll bother.

Youre nicer than me. No rsvp, after we tried to track all 109+ stragglers down, meant they're not coming and I won't be paying for their meal just in case they do show up. However, our venue did mention that we should only give them the number of definite yes guests and they would accommodate people if they did just show up.

We also had six no shows that we found out about one and two days before the wedding after we had already paid for them..and I left their escort cards in with everyone else's so they would be out on display. Two of them I did take out of the bunch. They were sick and we were all bummed that they couldn't make it. But the others had no excuse..and didn't even have the decency to tell us personally that they weren't coming. They told my husband's mom and step mom.. I might still be salty about it.

We had 41 people not RSVP, and our deadline was 3 weeks ago! We needed to plan because it’s a destination wedding... I’m over chasing people down too! I don’t understand how people don’t RSVP. We did the online version too, thinking it would be more convenient for people. I guess not!

I love this!! Thanks for such an awesome idea. I’m laughing my A$& off about this. I also love all the support you got about this. I fully expected people to have mean things to say.

If anyone fails to RSVP to our wedding, I will follow up with them, and if I still don't get a definitive response, I am just going to assume they aren't coming and will not be accommodating them at the wedding at all. If they show up they won't have a place to sit or food to eat, and at that point it is their problem not mine.

I wouldn’t include anyone that did not RSVP (except Nashville, they get a free pass!). Everyone else, they had their chance!

My husband and I did this at our reception. We made the escort cards for that table say "I didn't RSVP but I showed up anyway" and they were assigned to that table. We did a New York Ranger theme at our reception by naming our tables after players and the guest's escort cards were tickets that I made.
