Wedding Rsvps

I would follow up with them, some people may honestly have forgotten or assume that you knew they were coming. That's what happened to my husband and I. For the people we didn't receive an RSVP from we contacted them directly.

Okay, that's what I was going to do. Thanks

I would definitely follow up with those who you haven't heard from. They may have thought they RSVP'd, or maybe it got lost in the mail, or maybe they forgot to RSVP. You don't want to assume they aren't attending, only to have them show up and not have a place to sit. Contact each person to say something along the lines of, "Our RSVP date was yesterday, and we haven't received yours yet, so I just wanted to check in and ask whether you are planning on attending? We need to give our final count to our venue, so please let me know by [date]." If they don't respond by the new date, I would then assume they aren't attending.

Okay, sounds good. Thank you

You have to follow-up individually. Unfortunately, this is quite common and many people simply overlook it (because they assume you know they are coming, Lol).

Follow up after the rsvp date passes— particularly because stuff happens! We did mailed rsvps (which, btw, a lot of people clearly put in the mail on the due date, bc a couple days later we had a ton in our mailbox!) and when never got one from my husband’s uncle. We knew they had been planning on coming, so we confirmed with them— and it was definitely a yes! They “claimed” to have put it in the mail and H figured they just forgot hah….however a month AFTER our wedding, I opened the mailbox to see a battered looking envelope — their RSVP! Turns out they had mailed it on time, it was postmarked even before our due date.

Ugh Okay thank you. I hate when people "assume." Can't assume anything anymore!

Oh wow! okay thanks

View Quoted Comment Pretty much most of my guest list assumes I know they're coming and wants me to mark them as rsvpd myself. I am being serious with everyone that I want them to go in and do it because why would I bother with invites and an rsvp system if I had to mark everyone myself. I always want every single person to look at the website so they bother me with less obvious questions. Even though they are still asking the same questions.

My rsvp date is also Friday and I sent a friendly reminder to the people who haven't rsvpd telling them it was approaching. Some people aren't even responding to that. So I will give them 3-5 days after the deadline before I say they're not coming and disable the rsvp feature on my website.

Unfortunately you have to follow up. I had quite a few people who didn’t rsvp who said they’re coming when I reached out. I guess we will see on Saturday 🤞

It's just annoying that people don't RSVP. I don't understand.

Okay, thank you.

View Quoted Comment Very annoying. I have a few people that I think are going to be declines just because they are avoiding me and trying to ghost me. I asked a few people a few weeks ago to see if they got their invite bc the mail is weird. No reply. I sent a reminder and no reply but I know they saw it. So the deadline is going to pass and I guess they just don't have the guts to rsvp no 😂

I plan to reach out after my RSVP date next Saturday. I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing this. I keep panicking that all the non replies will be "nos" and I'll only have 20 people there!

I mean I want a small wedding but not quite that small!

Ugh! That's so annoying. I understand if people decline, but have the decency to RSVP! It's so rude and stressful to the bride!
