Undecided RSVPs

My RSVP deadline is this Friday, September 1. I have not heard back from everyone and that is okay. My problem is I have had several guests either text my FH mother, or leave a note on our online RSVP saying "We are unsure if ____ will be able to attend at this point" or "We are waiting for my daughter's work schedule to come out" or "We unknowingly scheduled a vacation over your wedding date, which now may be canceled due ____"

Do people not realize that I need a final count to order chairs/tables, linens, etc etc??? We sent save the dates months ago so people could make plans to attend. I don't even care at this point if they decline, I just want an answer! How do I respond to these guests who want to wait to RSVP?

I really would like to say "if you do no tell me you are coming, bring your own chair and a sandwich!"

Omg bring a sandwich and a chair I love it!! Our deadline is in 2 weeks and we are still missing 58 RSVPS. It's so frustrating, I sent out Save the Dates a year a head of time! I feel like 95% of the people should know if they can come or not.

Esperanza, that is a bad decision.
OP, I agree with PPs. Contact them and give them a firm deadline (such as a few days before the final head count is due). Politely let them know that if they don't give you a response by that date, you will have to mark them as a no.
