How to tell people RSVP is closed

On your website, you could replace the RSVP app with just a page names RSVP where you let people know that, unfortunately, they are no longer able to RSVP.

As far as the telephone line, did you have one of the RSVP hotlines? Are you able to record your own message on it, or ask them to discontinue accepting RSVPs?

Dunno how you could pull it off on FB without specifying your wedding though. Mass message everyone invited?

Yes, we had a specific google voice line for people to RSVP. And yes, we can make our own message.

Thanks so much!

What did you think about my sample message for FB in the OP?

Well, I figure the people who would call or look at the RSVP app on your website are only those who didn't RSVP. I don't like the "all the spaces have been accounted for" -- makes it sound like they should have gotten tickets to an event.

"Thank you for your well wishes on our big day. Due to our obligations to our venue/caterer, we are unable to accommodate further guests."

Something like that? I'm sure others could think of a better way to word it.

Ok, thanks I see what you mean about the spaces comment. Maybe I'll keep it simple.

To those who contacted us ... thanks, and to those who didn't maybe we will see each other another place, another time.

IDK lol!!

I like the idea "Due to our venue/caterer deadlines, we are unable to accommodate any further guests or late responders."

Sounds good KKnTrev!

I prefer Reenski's wording, I was actually wondering about this myself, I hope I dont need to do anything like this, but while I only have had yes rsvps, they are not all in yet and my cutoff is approaching!

Thanks Karen S! Yes, you never know. But, it's funny for me, family has been the slowest to be specific.

Its my family too, which does really surprise me!

I am having the same issue and had made it very clear on the website and invitations. What really bothers me is that some of the non RSVP have only been married within the last 12 months and know the importance. I don’t have a telephone number or email address for the missing ones, so I guess I will mail a follow up to say it’s the reception halls deadline, because I need to go ahead purchase favors and things for guest.

View Quoted Comment Thanks! Totally stealing this 😂

LITERALLY having this conversation with the FH because his patience is wearing thin as people are going to wait until the last day. Since we are 3 days away from our deadline, he will be petty in his response on our website so we are looking for an alternative .

That's a conversation you have verbally, not a written notice. Most replies will come in on the last day but you still need to track down anyone who didn't reply by calling them up and politely asking they plan to attend. You don't need to say anything beyond that, nor make assumptions of any kind.
