rsvp reminder?

I wouldn’t post that on social media because I’m assuming not everyone who follows you on social media is invited to the wedding. You’ll just have to start contacting people a few days after RSVPs are due.

I have seen people do that where they just said "Don't forget to RSVP to my wedding if you received an invitation". That or I have seen people do facebook group chats/event pages. I think it is acceptable to do it that way instead of trying to get a hold of every single person.

I would not do this. As Kelly mentioned, you likely have people on social media who are not invited to the wedding. Technically, you shouldn't send a reminder before the due date anyway as some people may be putting it in the mail this week. After the date passes, you can reach out, but you should call or text people individually. I know it's draining and takes a lot of time, but it's just the right thing to do.

I wouldn't, you can avoid drama by not posting publicly about it.

People may wait until the RSVP date to even respond because technically they have until then.

I'd wait until 2 days after the RSVP date and I'd contact people personally to see if they're coming or not.

I'm going to put one on Facebook and only make it viewable to those that I have tagged.

I agree with this and with that Kelly said. It is more work but you gotta make those calls. I had to do this back in the early 90's when I first wed, lol.

Oopsies. I did 🙊 mostly because we did online rsvps only so i attached the link. Probably shoulsnt have done that in hindsight 😱

Ugh I hadn’t thought about that. Why can’t people just RSVP?! Lol

So we did our save the dates using a Facebook event.

Maybe you can create one, make it private, and remind everyone that way.

Otherwise, we are personally messaging people. We only have 60 people rsvp to us. I know people said they are coming to friends and family. Some people said they forgot, or just wait until the last minute.

have your fiancé help, maybe your parents can messsge some people.

View Quoted Comment At this point though why wouldn’t you just reach out to those people individually? You could just copy and paste the same message and private message them

My wedding is October 13, and my Rsvps are due back the 20th of September. I've gotten 70 back. I was expecting like 130 people and now I am wondering if I will even meet my minimum of 80. I've gotten a lot of verbal rsvps, but I am counting them as yeses, for now. I have a spreadsheet that adds up everyone who said yes and no, definitely there are a bunch of people who did not rsvp yet at all, I'm just thinking they are still deciding if they can make the trip or not many are out of town.

Wouldn't do this for a multitude of reasons

I definitely would not post on social media. You'll have a ton of non-invited people messaging/commenting asking to be invited.

The most effective way is to reach out to guests individually so that they will feel inclined to answer. A post can easily be ignored by the people you intended it to be for

View Quoted Comment Like what's the point when all I have to do is a simple status and click only to those tagged. Really simple. I could do either one but either one works

I would maybe give a some to trusted members of your family or wedding party to reach out to? like maybe 5-10 guests each? And have them be responsible for reaching out to see if they are able to make it or not. Just to relieve some of the stress from you. Thats what I plan on doing for the RSVP's I haven't gotten back.

I posted a meme on facebook a couple days before the rsvp due date of a skeleton and it said "waiting on my wedding rsvps like..."

It definitely got the point across. Got half the rsvps I was missing right then and there.

OMG that's our wedding date, too! We have the RSVP due on the 15th of September. I've only gotten 30 back out of 100, but I just sent them about 2 weeks ago. Hoping to get a ton more in soon, I really don't want to have to nag people less than 30 days from the wedding date!
