Rsvp due and still waiting

catherine, on January 21, 2014 at 7:34 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 21

RSVP's due in 3 days and still waiting on about 35 ppl! What do you guys do if they do not rsvp? Contact them? and if they still don't respond to your email or messages do you just take it as they aren't coming?

    Wait until the RSVP date and then call/text people and find out if they will attend. I found most ppl who didn't RSVP to me ended up not being able to make it

    I called, texted, facebook messaged, emailed. And I harassed until I got an answer.

    Some people expect you to just know they are coming, it's so annoying... out of 75 friends invited, only like 5 rsvp'd, my parents' friends on the other hand all sent theirs in early.

    Mine are due Friday. Still waiting on 5 or 6... I think most people just assume I know they are coming and it annoys me

    I would follow up with them the day of and day after your RSVP due date. If they don't respond after 2 attempts, mark them a no.

    I think people will assume that you know their answer so they just don't respond.

    I would be tracking some people down by now!

    Thanks everyone!!! I have been face booking them. And i see the message as read but they leave no response. So now i will wait till the day after they are due and if they still don't answer i'm putting them as no. It's Just frustrating. I also found out today my mother in law is not attending my bridal shower and does not want to come to the rehearsal diner( where we were gonna give her, her gift) i'm getting discouraged with my FH's family.....

    Track them down or harass like Laudie said ha! Try different forms of communication though.

    I plan on calling, texting whatever, the day after our deadline to get an answer. We actually have people that booked their rental home for the week of our DW and haven't even RSVP'd!

    I would wait until the day after your deadline and let them know that if you don't hear from them for the rest of the day that you can assume they aren't coming.

    I'm 17 days past my rsvp date and I've only received 42/93 of mine back. Don't feel bad!

    Why are people so horrible? I had to track down people for my shower because nobody RSVP'ed to my aunt. I really wish Facebook wouldn't tell us when someone reads a message. Because it pisses me off like no other when I can see they've read it and don't reply. I am dreading sending out invites because I know people won't RSVP. I just don't understand what is so hard about it. Annoys me beyond belief. But I will give them a week after the deadline. If I contact them and they still don't have an answer, they are getting marked as a no. And if they show up, they can stand or leave. Not my problem.

    I have read a lot of advice on other sites, along with this one, and most girls have said that the guests wait til to due date to even send it back you. So always make sure you have an extra week just in case stuff like this happens. If you still don't get anything by next week, then you have every right to call, email or text everyone that hasn't rsvp'd yet.

    Hi, (insert name)! I haven't heard from you guys about the wedding and RSVPs were due yesterday. Please let me know by (given date) if you're able to make it. If I don't hear back, I'm really sorry, but we won't be able to accommodate you.

    My RSVPs are due Friday as well, and we meet with the venue on Monday to finalize. So my mom and I are going to spend the weekend contacting people we haven't heard from.

    I wouldn't harass them the day after the due date, many people mail it on the day it is due. I would wait until 3 days after the date to start contacting and harassing people, unless of course you need to turn in your final numbers soon.

    I like OTW's statement, pretty much lays it on the line. Hey, get back to me by (given date) or your out, but in polite form.
