Rsvps

MD, on June 19, 2019 at 9:42 AM Posted in Planning 0 6

Maybe everyone is tired of seeing these posts, but I had to join in.

Yesterday was our RSVP due date, and this morning we were still waiting on 74 responses... out of 160ish guests invited. We mailed out invites early May, so they had about 6 weeks to respond. We also did only online RSVPs, so there's no chance of their replies being lost in the mail. Most that we are waiting on are tech savvy, so that's not the issue either.

What's also fun is that my final payment for our alcohol is due tomorrow, so they want me to send them a final count today so they don't overcharge me (which can be adjusted up to 2 weeks prior & I would get a refund if necessary). It's just a little difficult to give them an idea when we're waiting on almost half of our invited guests.

    I am so sorry to hear this. I am also afraid of this happening. I would definitely contact them now if you can.

    Since you need a final count today I'd try to estimate who of the non-responders you think will make it and include them in your count. I'm only saying this since you can adjust the numbers and get a refund if needed. Then start to reach out tonight and tomorrow to find out who is actually coming. Don't stress too much about it just yet - lots of people are always a day or two late with their RSVPs. 🙋🏻‍♀️ <--- Guilty!

    So sorry. hate when this happens. Some people just don't even bother to RSVP and have to be asked directly about it.

    I'm so sorry! Our stories are pretty similar. Sent out invites in May, RSVP date was June 10. Guests had the invites for over 6 weeks, and could RSVP online or with the paper addressed/stamped one we included in the invite. June 10 came & went, we hadn't heard from 61 people. We invited 225 total. We contacted all of them, by 1 week later we were waiting on 20 people. Now we are waiting on 16 (it was 14, but two people asked if they could bring plus 1s possibly). We only had to finalize transportation so it was a little easier, we don't need final bar/caterer/dessert until July 6. I'm so sorry and hopefully you have help reaching out to all those people!

    Thanks everyone for good wishes! After reaching out to quite a few today, I've got it down to 38 that we are waiting on. There was also 2 families that got theirs in seconds before I was going to contact them.. it's like they knew or something Smiley smile
