Rsvp

Carrie, on June 3, 2019 at 7:04 PM Posted in Planning 0 19
So when I sent my invitations out my rsvp said number of guests! I guess people feel as though they can invite other people. Should I have done it a different way? Just frustrated!

    I mean you can't change it now, but you can definitely call them and explain that the invite was for whichever specific people. My rsvps will say ____ out of ____ attending and I'll fill out the second blank. I'm hoping that will tell them they can't extend their invite to anyone.

    My paper invites actually said names and the # of people I'm inviting. I had to explain extra about that for email RSVPs after I saw some people RSVP for more than they were allotted ahah because some people felt like they could just do what they wanted. In my culture it is also not uncommon for guests to bring extra people on the day of the wedding too -_-

    I think if I would have known this I would have said you have one spot saved or you have 2 spots save if it a couple! My Fiancé this it’s confusing and people think that means bring a guest! But I feel if the invitation is made out to that person then that’s the number of guests attending. I also sent a link for them to add a person and if they did add anyone I was counting them as one not a plus one. Ugh just frustrated!

    That was a good idea. Just don’t think people have the right to invite other people. Thank you for your input.

    Even if you had done it differently I've read a hundred different stories of guests adding people on no matter which way its done.
    You'll just have to reach out and let them know politely that unfortunately you cant host a guest for them as well.

    If it’s too much to call everyone, just make a public social media post abt how much of a mix up it was and they should understand. You don’t want people you did not invite at your wedding.

    Girl ppl are are just tripped out these days..I invited a person plus one. Yea right!!! Everyone person on my honey's side has been plus 2..3 ..4 and today it was plus Six! The lady literally called And said there was only one invite left so she had to go ahead an share it with 2 other couples and she rsvping for all of them. That was today. RSVP date was Saturday. So bizarre to say the least.. his family insist on being there.. my family..um yea..no. lol..so it wasn't the way you wrote the invite..ppl just don't care

    Sadly, people do what they want. Even if you make yourself crystal clear, some still find a way around and can't get the hint. I don't think this is your fault!

    I'm confused when you write that you sent a link for them to add a person. Maybe that confused them. But my invites will say 2 seats have been reserved in your honor for those with a plus one. And 1 seat has been reserved for those that do not get a plus one

    I truly do not think it even matters which way you do it.
    Our rsvps included, we have __ seats reserved in your honor. My brother's RSVP had '2' filled in and he still asked to bring a third guest. My answer was simply NO! That's that.

    Agree with this. Even if they are pre-filled in people still get silly ideas! It's just a matter of contacting those people and saying "sorry we can only accommodate the number of guests we designated on the rsvp for everyone".
