Our RSVP date was June 10, by that point we were still waiting on 61 people to RSVP. We contacted all of them the next day (June 11). We've heard back from most of them, but we are waiting on 20 people. What do I do in these situations?
1. B & B (Couple, wife told me right before RSVP date she was waiting on her work schedule to be released. No update yet. 2 guests total.)
2. M Family (Fiance's cousin, told me she was waiting on her daughter's softball schedule but still no response. 4 guests total.)
3. S Family (My two cousins & their wives & 1 baby - not super close to them - reached out a week ago via group text & no response. 5 guests total.)
4. S (bridesmaid's boyfriend - she told me he doesn't know his work schedule but would let me know soon - haven't heard anything yet. 1 guest total.)
5. A (groomsmen's daughter - they told me she wouldn't need a meal but would still like a seat - no update on if they are bringing her or not. 1 guest total.)
6. M Family (Fiance's other cousin, parents told me they are coming but never responded when I asked about 2 kids. 2 guests total.)
7. J (Fiance's friend, he texted him last week and no response. 1 guest total.)
8. 4 FF (two couples, friend's of fiance's father, no response at all. 4 guest total.)
I don't mind planning for an extra 1, 2, or 3 people but an extra 20 is a lot of money. I have to give FINAL count 14 days out for bar & dessert & caterer. I have to give final count to our guest transportation in 3 days (it's optional, not all guests are using it). I need to finalize linen & china order 2 weeks out too, so I'll probably finalize my seating chart then. Do I reach out to some or all again? Do I count them all as no? All as yes? UGH!
