rsvp Non-replys

I would try to call each of them and leave a message saying “our venue needs our final guest count in the next 24 hours. Will you be attending? If we don’t hear back we will assume you are not coming and will not account for you” then also send the same message in a text. This is a great question and we will be doing the same thing. We will need to know our final numbers! Good luck!! Let me know how it works out ☺️

Call or text them and let them know if you don't hear back from them or get an RSVP in the mail by the end of the week (or whatever day you choose) you are marking them as a decline.

I would assume that they are no’s, but I would also contact them to let them know that. “Hi there! I reached out last week about your RSVP and haven’t heard back. Our final head count is due to the venue tomorrow. If we don’t hear from you by this evening, we’ll assume that you’re unable to attend.”

I agree, send a call or text, or both and let them know that if you don't hear from them within 24 hours, you're assuming they're a no!

If you have already reached out via text, now it’s time to call and as others have said, reiterate that you will not be able to accommodate them if you don’t hear back

No you should call them via telephone and ask them. Some people are just lazy.

You should call, email or text each and every person you haven't heard from and let them know that if you don't hear back by a certain date, that you will count them as a no. Don't assume because you will have people show up and not have food for them, so try your best to get what info you can.

I would reach out to all the no-repliers one more time and say "if you don't let us know by x date, we will have to count you as a 'no.'" If you just mark them as a no and don't give them this final warning, you risk them actually RSVPing in like a month and then you have to awkwardly tell them that you already marked them as a "no." I would definitely give them this one final warning and if they don't get back to you, THEN assume they are a no.

I'm surprised people haven't answered your texts or calls about it. Our RSVP deadline passed and we were waiting on 61 people. I contacted everyone and by the next day were only waiting on 20 people. Now, we are waiting on 2 people so it's a lot easier.

Give them one last stern (but polite) call. If you don't hear from them in 24 hours mark them as a no and move on. If they come back to you later let them know their chance has passed and you'll see them after the wedding.

No, you need to try to contact those people to find out if they are coming or not. You don't want to assume they are no's, then have them show up at your wedding. The caterer will be pissed! Plus, there may not be enough food, chairs, etc. if you have people showing up unexpectedly. People are notoriously bad at RSVP-ing, and don't seem to understand how critical it is for a wedding. So, look at the forums on this topic. Most brides/grooms have to track down all the non-responders to get their final answer.
