rsvp due date!

There is no reason to contact them until after the deadline. Many will show up in the mail on the due date. Then you start calling on the phone or texting to track people down to find out if they are attending and whatever meal choice they want. You spend as many days as you need and you get fiancé to help. But if you don’t get a response after a first attempt, count them as a no. There’s nothing you can do before the due date.

Give it another day or two, call each person, and ask if they are coming or not.

RSVP-ing is such a simple task but sadly many people neglect to do so (and many simple don't because they think they've already done so!).

Once you pass your RSVP date, call everyone who is left and ask them if they will be attending or not.

I will be asking for RSVPs more than 6 weeks before the wedding so that I have time to chase people as well as get all our stationery sorted.

Maybe it’s the teacher in me, but if we didn’t hear from guests, I counted them as a no. I received two in the mail about a month after the deadline, and they were no anyway, so it all worked out. I’m uninterested in tracking people down- if they want to be there, they will RSVP, and ON TIME!

View Quoted Comment This!! I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH!

Did you do mail in RSVP's or online? If they are mail in, I would wait a few days. They might be making their way through our very slow postal system! I would wait until the beginning of next week to start following up with people again.

You don’t have to continue to contact them. They will call you or you will receive the rsvp in the mail either on the date or after. I received phone calls and rsvp after my date and I just added them in and this was after my final count to my venue. I let my my venue know bc I was able to add guests in. I didn’t get to many after my date. For those that did not send in their rsvp I figured that they were not coming bc of COVID.

People are literally hopeless! We constantly dropped it into convos, like "wedding is coming up, don't forget to RSVP." No one rsvped before the due date, and we had to chase like 50% of guests up until a week out. I don't understand why people have to wait until the due date. Personally I RSVP asap and add it to my calendar!

I am going through this same situation, although our rsvp deadline is 25 days away. I still know our guest have the rsvp and about 50% haven’t rsvp’d yet. So frustrating when you have a minimum guest count and are excited to see guest start rsvping

Talk to them. Call them, and keep calling.Sometimes when people semd messages, the person never received it in the mail and starts expecting it looking. You need to talk to find out if they got the invitation, and are they coming.

Is it wrong not to call everybody

I plan on reaching out within the week after the RSVP Date! Possibly a text first, then two phone calls. If there still isn’t an answer after that, they will be placed on a “No Response” list so that way the Usher (my best friend) will be able to pull them to the side and explain that they can no longer be there since they didn’t RSVP (since seating, food, etc won’t have accommodated them).
