RSVP reminder

You can make a list of friends on Facebook and customize the settings of your post so that only that list can see it. No event page necessary; just add your invited guests to the list.

I would just contact the people out of town who haven't RSVPed. It's a courtesy to remind them to book their room. Everyone else you can wait until the deadline.

OH MY GOD DO NOT POST THIS AS A PUBLIC FACEBOOK STATUS!!!!!!! What about the 300 Facebook friends who aren't invited to your wedding? You're going to start getting messages from people asking why they didn't get invited, and wondering if their invite got lost in the mail. Not something you want to deal with. If you want to do something, shoot people and email, reminding them of the RSVP deadline and the deadline to book with your room block. I wouldn't bother. Your guests are adults and they should know how to RSVP to a wedding. Once the date does pass, you need to contact those who haven't responded. You can't assume they are/aren't coming just because you didn't get your RSVP card.

You can customize your post so only the people invited see it. If you want to send a mass message, thats option so you don't offend anyone not invited.

Facebook status is definitely a big no-no. BUT, you could group message your friends or send a group text to remind them of the room block discount expiring. That's helpful, because you are saving them money, and people will probably appreciate it. Do NOT remind them to RSVP. That's pushy and rude. You need to wait until a few days after the RSVP date (because many people will mail them out the day they're due) to individually contact people and follow up on RSVPs.

No no no no AND NO. One star posters should not be allowed to give advice. Do NOT post it on Facebook. What has the 21st century come to?!

Wait until a few days before your deadline and then reach out to people preferably by phone call, but a text or email may be okay as well. Just don't post it on Facebook. Please. Social media + wedding information and reminders = NO.

@OP I'm not yelling at you. Just yelling at the people that have given you bad advice

ETA: And as PP's have said, just give a friendly reminder about the hotel deadline. Go after the rsvp's a few days after your deadline.

You do not remind people BEFORE a deadline has passed JuneWillows. Otherwise, what the hell is the point of your deadline date? The deadline date is irrelevant because you are too impatient to wait for their responses? Or your just didn't plan properly? You're wrong. It's pushy and rude. And I'm sorry, there are tons of "wedding planners" out there who are clueless about manners and etiquette.

OP, as others are saying, wait until your deadline has passed by a couple days and then follow up privately with anyone who hasn't responded. No posting of a FB status.

As someone who always replies on time I would be put off if I dropped the rsvp into the mail today knowing it would be there by Friday and you called me today

I say post away of Facebook, it really should not concern those who were not invited. I post about my wedding planning all the time. At the end of the day, it's your day.

In my opinion I think it's tacky to make a fb post especially when some people might be even check the status (tagged or not). Just take the time out to reach out individually (your fiancé and you could split the list?)

My RSVP deadline is next week, and we've heard from approximately 49% of our guest list. As frustrating as it is--and I do sympathize with you--it's proper to wait until after your RSVP deadline has passed to contact any outstanding guests. While wedding planning may seem all consuming and consistently at the forefront of your mind, it is unfortunately not for the vast majority of your guests. They, too, are occupied with their own lives and may not have had the time to mail/email/etc. their response or are, because they are busy, trying to figure out how to juggle their schedule and obligations to attend your special day (this is especially true for those with children, or out of town guests).

I would not post about this on Facebook, because this conversation should be private and personal. There are a myriad of reasons why a guest has not yet responded, and you do not want to open it up to a public forum where they may feel attacked, even if the post is not directed at any one person in particular. You also do not want to post on something highly specific regarding your wedding because it may upset those you did not invite. I disagree with some posters on here and believe you *can* post about your wedding on social media, however those should be confined to "I'm so excited"-type messages. You never want to air your dirty laundry, so-to-speak.

Happy planning and congratulations!
