rsvp

When is your deadline for RSVPs? Most people do it at or near the deadline.

Most people reply on the last day and others don’t reply at all so you have to track them down the day after your deadline. How early did you send your invites?

I made the deadline May 22

I sent them out April 22

Typically the deadline is 3-4 weeks before the wedding when caterer needs a final headcount with invites sent 6 weeks before. Employers and schools don’t grant time off before then so they can’t predict. Also you have people who wait till the last minute to see if they want to go anywhere in the middle of Covid.

I just posted something about this too! Mine are online-only RSVPs due by May 15th and I've already received 13 responses!

Our deadline was April 25, and we received 80% RSVP by then. We still have 3 are not confirmed.

How many people did you invite?

120 haha. So I guess I should've said.... "I've only received 13"

I guess we'll see next week!

We have 130 guests invited and so far 47 have RSVP'd, with less than one week to go til our deadline. Over half of my guests have RSVP'd and only 2 on his side have (not even his parents!). I'm so annoyed It's online so you can literally do it from your phone, it's not that difficult people!

My rsvp date is this Friday and we're waiting on 16 responses out of 81. We definitely did casually nag our friends and family in conversation to get to this number though.
Not many weddings happen in either of our families and more people than I would've thought didn’t read all the parts of the invitation and realize they had to rsvp online with their meal choice. Family members would just tell us "you know we're coming" which was beyond annoying.

I hate the "you know we're coming" response to. I got a couple more responses last night after making a facebook post

I figured online would be me easier and convenient, but guest are proving me wrong.

I think people who don't RSVP online probably wouldn't have mailed their RSVP cards in either. At least this way I didn't waste the stamps
