rsvp for Ceremony and Reception

Posted in Wedding Reception 25

Wondering if its necessary to have guests RSVP for both the ceremony and reception, only for those who are invited to both of course. I'm just concerned that some guests will RSVP but only show up to one. Our guest count for both determines our food amount and more that can raise or lower the price....

    Perhaps, however, in my experience, every one of my guests who are attending the reception only is completely understanding and not offended. They understand the church is historic and small. I think if you're coming from a genuine place, and your guests know you and your heart, they understand. I would absolutely understand if someone explained this to me.

    That's possible, but it's more likely that your guests aren't going to come to you and tell you that they think you're rude. If I was invited to a tiered wedding, thank goodness I haven't been, I wouldn't dream of approaching the couple to tell them how I felt about it. That wouldn't do anything except make me just as rude as them.

    There aren't "rules" for wedding planning, but there is basic etiquette. If I bump into someone on an elevator, it's not a rule that I have to say "excuse me," but it is basic manners. Inviting guests to all of your wedding or none of it is just the same, basic manners. The fact that you're getting married doesn't mean that you get to treat people poorly.

    Caitlyn, you really need to calm down and stop jumping down everyone's throat for sharing their opinion. It's completely unnecessary; especially if I did not address you to begin with.

    I don't necessarily agree with having a separate set of guests invited to the ceremony and another set invited to the reception. All of my guests will be invited to both the ceremony and reception. However, if this is how KJandyce will proceed then it is what it is.
