Didnt rsvp - But showed up

I'm assuming they didn't decline but rather didn't RSVP. And that is why you call your guests who don't send one

I think not RSVP'ing to anything is so incredibly rude, having said that, I would figure out a way to make room for them and be happy they came. The more the merrier, but I chose a venue that I will not have any issues adding 4 chairs/ table if I need to. I would never turn anyone away who I thought enough of to invite them to my wedding.

OP stated that they did try to follow up and got no answer.

It's so sad that they couldn't take the time to RSVP or follow up with the couple who reached out about the missing RSVP. However, if they showed I would make room for them and cover the cost. I wouldn't send them a bill after the wedding.

Everyone RSVPd for my wedding. However, I did have 1 person not show up which, frankly is worse because we already paid for them. We invited my husband's Godson with his girlfriend, since they were living together. He RSVPd for both but failed to tell us 2 weeks before the wedding that they broke up.

If someone showed up without RSVPing, I'd have the venue find a place for them and of course, pay for them. If they had RSVP'd yes, you'd be paying for them anyway. That's why you always budget for the amount of people you invited, not the amount you're hoping say yes.

Just because other people are rude, doesn't mean I have to be. You don't invite someone and then ask them to pay, that makes you just as rude as they are.

We had one of my clueless cousins show up with her boyfriend but we had 15 last minute no shows.

If we were topped out I would have asked them to leave. We wouldn't have enough seats or food so I really wouldn't feel bad about it at all. I also wouldn't squeeze them in and bill them later. That is the epitome of poor hosting. If you are going to be an accommodating host do so all the way don't turn around and throw a bill in their face.

If this happens to me, they will be turned away. We're at our max for the guest count currently (Haven't sent out invites yet) and will not have room for them.

I would have sent them home. That is extremely rude.

Especially if you did a follow up on the ones that didn't respond.

I plan on doing a follow up, so if I take my time out of my day to call you AFTER I sent you an invite and you still showed up, you would be leaving.

To me its like they didn't have anything else to do. Your wedding was a last resort, they didn't want to commit to an RSVP in fear of something better, nothing better came so they just showed up. NOPE. Not me.
