Pic Added!!! Clever Wedding Reminders for Guests?

WW won't let me post the pic

That sounds like a thoughtful way to remind people. I wouldn't be concerned about the hard time with the RSVPs. So many people don't respond on time or the right way. I'm glad you got the phone RSVPs.

Man I would totally not open the door for people to change their RSVP status with me (but that's just me). I wouldn't want to be chasing down any more information about this at that point. That being said there's nothing offensive or anything about what you said.

Janeen,

If they can't come, I want them to tell me rather than not showing up! I still have time to NOT pay for them. We're not adding more people, its for declines. This is only going out to the people who said yes already. :-)

I had someone tell me today that she couldn't possibly know if she will make it to the wedding because it is soooo far out to put her down as a maybe..... My wedding is in 5 weeks... This has nothing to do with her work schedule she works Mon-Fri.... I really hope I don't get more responses like that.

Thanks Mrs. Droopy... and Maegan... that would tick me off. That means I'll consider it a no?!?!

So what are you going to do in her case?

I am going to do something similar for our reception/fancypantsbbq since it's almost a month after the wedding and the invitations have to go out in Feburary but the reception isn't until (ffs) August.

Not looking forward to the added cost, but dem's the breaks. I like your wording

I'm really bummed that I can't show ya'll the pic! It's so cute! LOL

That's the great things, we all know our own guests better than other people.

The guests who have received this have given great feedback. They write back and say how excited they are. Which confirms for me that they'll be there.

Maybe you don't have any guests on your list that will RSVP yes... and then not show. I do, I've seen it done at mutual friends weddings. With a big dinner cost per person, I'd rather know now if they aren't going to show.

I wish there was a nice way to put "it's important that you reply bc it costs us money"!!! LOL

I think its thoughtful.. I can't tell you how many people after the engagement party said to me ohh gosh was that this weekend blah. So I get ya about the memory of people that don't have this on the top of their list of priorities or activities. I think what you wrote is sweet and maybe helpful. let us know how it goes

TheFrankSpot -

I am definitely considering that one a no, and if by chance she does show up she wont have a seat at the reception.

I think this is a great idea. I may do this myself. Are you sending this message in an email?

Thanks Christine!

I sent it via text. It has a meme that says 15 days to go! #TheFrankSpot... it's really cute. But I can't get it to post.

And... I was discerning when I sent it. I did not send it to people that i know won't flake or that I recently spoke with. So far, it's been a good response. No one has said no, just that they are excited and can't wait!

Any tips for being able to post the pic?

Where is the picture located?

I love the message but how are you sending it? Are you mailing it to them?

But also, I wouldn't ask them if they changed their mind though. I would just send a friendly reminder

I was able to add the picture! I wanted you all to see what we sent our guests!!!!
