Just Said Yes August 2019

I asked for RSVPs to be in by August 1st. Does anyone reach out to guests before the RSVPs are due to see if they are still coming or when the deadline comes do you reach out to guests? What are the best ways to reach out to guests?

    Yes- we reached out to people before the deadline in a casual way. If we saw them or spoke with them we asked them if they were going to be able to make it. A couple people we connected with on Facebook. Very informally. A couple weeks before the RSVP deadline we used the guest reminder feature on TheKnot which just alerts people that we were looking forward to their response. Between these tactics we were able to get every RSVP in (approx 175) with a couple days to spare before our deadline. If we hadn't we would have been more direct for responses with people who hadn't responded before the deadline...luckily we didn't need to.

    I waited until one week after the deadline (I sent out the invites and made my RSVP deadline early for this exact reason). Then, exactly one week after the deadline, I started shooting texts out or asking FH’s mom to reach out to the ones on his side. Thankfully they all got back really quickly!!
