When did your guests rsvp?

Just wondering when your remaining rsvps came in, right now I have 59 yes and 30 who haven’t responded. I’m really hoping I don’t have to chase down 15 couples. Our deadline is sept 14th and our wedding is oct 5th. Should I be concerned?

    A lot right away, then a major slow/trickle, then lots more as the date approached. On our rsvp date we were missing ~25 replies but I had some time before final numbers were due so I didn’t rush the follow up— I was glad I didn’t. Everyone must’ve mailed them the day of the due date, because we got a TON after the weekend after the due date. And a couple people called/texted/emailed apologetically that they knew they hadn’t put it in the mail yet but wanted me to know ASAP. By a week after my rsvp date, I only had ONE that I hadnt heard back from.

    We had people rsvp up to a week before the before the wedding. Some people who never responded came to the wedding, and some who did respond still didn't show up. I wouldn’t stress though, just try to give it your best judgement after your deadline.

    No you got a couple more weeks to go, unfortunately a lot of people wait to the last minute. We had a lot of people respond the week it was due and even a few days after it was due.

    My deadline is 8/31 and we’ve received just under half. I’m assuming that more will flood in right before the deadline. I’m sure I’ll have to reach out to the stragglers after our deadline.

    We are date twins!! I'm going through the same thing lol with my own family I called them to make sure if they are coming but my family is different and knew I was going to personally ask after the invites went out lol but with FH family it's driving me crazy since only 2 or 3 have sent back their RSVPs

    Don’t stress yet, you’ve got plenty of time, like PP have said lots of people wait til the last minute and then there are those that see you regularly or are closely related that don’t think they need to rsvp 🤷‍♀️. I had about 5 couples like that “oh you still expected us to rsvp?” 😂I’m two weeks past my deadline and still chasing down people. The worst are the ones that replied maybe... like what!?🤦🏻‍♀️Thank goodness my venue prepares for extras. I have until the 23rd to give them the minimum head count. But my FH thinks some of these maybes just feel bad to say no. I’m fine with three or four but not 10-12 maybes. 🤔 They should have a *tearing your hair out* emoji 😂cuz that’s how I feel rn😂😂😂.
