rsvp Help -those who don't reply

I’ve contacted all of mine by fb and sending the website link and saying “Hey! Just giving you our wedding website Incase you lose it or send it off with the rsvp 😊” it worked wonderfully, and a lot of people did honestly forget to rsvp. If you aren’t getting responses then I would recommend saying something along the lines of “hey, just wanted to remind you to rsvp. We understand that not everyone can make it and that’s perfectly fine, if you’re unable to rsvp by ____, unfortunately we’ll have to assume you aren’t able make it.”

You should absolutely contact them! Things come up, people forget to RSVP, they lose the invitation, etc. If they're important enough to invite to your wedding, you should contact them to make sure they're coming or not.

Reach out! People sometimes forget as they get busy with life. I would just send out a mass e-mail and remind people that you need to know whether or not they are coming.

I agree with the other brides, definitely don't assume they aren't coming. You'll need to reach out but if the number is large, enlist some help!

We had a couple cases as well where someone didn't get the invite, and two other people did send their RSVP but we never got it. We also had some people who plain forgot to mail it!

Never assume that they aren't coming! It will be just your luck that they will show up and that they were "so sure" that they rsvp'd. If after you contacted them 2 or so times and have only gotten voicemail or been put on read - then I would say they aren't coming and if they show up - send them away. That's my mentality though.... you don't have to send them away... but I would

It might be a tideous task, but find someway to contact them, bridal party or family might want to help out

Nothing is worst then having to accommodate people you “thought” werent coming.

Contact them! Sometimes people forget, or have other things going on. I sent out a mass email to everyone (bcc'd them!) I reminded them to RSVP, sent a link to our website where they were to RSVP, and said to let me know if they were or were not coming. I then said if I don't hear by the end of the week, I will assume they are not able to make it and they can catch a live stream of our wedding. Everyone either RSVP'd or emailed explaining why they hadn't RSVP'd yet (scheduling, health issues, etc) and gave a few people an extension based on their circumstances.

I’d call and text

I basically called, texted or Facebook messaged my guests to follow up shortly after the Victoria Day weekend.

also enlisted the help of my FBIL, FH & FMIL to confirm...and it was a damn good thing too- i had one guest who never received it and one who sent in her rsvp shortly after receiving the invitation...but i never got it.

Contact your guest by email to verify the date had passed. This way the answer can cone through better.

Id recomend contacting them. It wasnt too bad for me because we did evites so i sent our a 'reminder to RSVP' email to everyone we hadnt heard from yet about a week before our rsvp deadline and it worked well.

Everyone we still didnt hear from we either got my MIL to contact or i texted myself if i had their number.

Most of them ended up being 'yes' so im glad i didnt write them off and not have enough seating!

It's a hassle, but I'd contact them rather than risk some who "forgot" to send in the RSVP and plan to show up anyway. You could get some lost in the mail as well. Perhaps your maid of honour or a family member could help you out with the calls?

Assign someone else to contact them. My future SIL had 40+ people not rsvp so she gave the mother of the groom everyone on the grooms side to contact and gave her mother everyone on her side to contact. She was busy packing and finishing school on top of the wedding planning so it worked out well for them.

dont assume they’re not coming though, because then you’ll end up with people showing up you didn’t save a seat for.
