Rsvp's for small intimate wedding

Hello beautiful people!

So we are having a tiny amount of guests, around 25 more less than more lol so I was just wondering. Should I get rsvp cards for that tiny amount of people, that I'm sure all will attend?

I feel like, if I do it, it would be for guest control (hopefully that makes sense) but I decided on the mark of 25 just in case a few mouths ran and people that we are not inviting might appear (because sadly that's how we Hispanics are lol). Although, I do plan on letting everyone know it's an intimate and small affair.
But thinking about it, in that case, it wouldn't be a job for an rsvp. So, just do word of mouth?
Thank you gals!

I’m having a very small intimate wedding as you are. So far about 17 adults.. and when it comes time to send the invites, I have them made to where they can text me or my FH with numbers.. but for most part, I already know who’s coming or not. Lol

Yes, you can’t assume that every guest you invite is going to come.

I'm not assuming everyone will come. If they show up great if they don't then there's nothing I can't do. We are not having a venue and even the food will be done by us. So it's not like we need the rsvp at all. And knowing them they won't turn down a party at all... Hispanic stuff lmao

When it's a small circle, you kind of know. I'm not worried about the people we are inviting, I'm worried about the people we aren't lol but thank you!!

Yeah I think a text, call or online RSVP would make more sense for you than having people mail back RSVPs. It’s less to keep track of, so ostensibly you could track it in whatever fashion makes the most sense. Still get a headcount though. And yeah plan for a couple extra surprise guests. I am also Hispanic and have heard stories of uninvited guests that would horrify a wedding planner

Goodness yes I know they are going to show up ugh it's so frustrating cause I don't care for the people I don't invite but omg lol thank you and yes I'll be very vigilant on who is coming and such, since is basically mostly family and a couple of very close family friends.
I'm going to definitely have them text me who and how many coming.

I would, it's better to have a paper trail of people saying they will attend & confirming. Especially if you do something like guest transportation, plated meal, etc. where you need a choice on something.

Yeah, I understand but again I have nothing like that. It is just a casual party nothing traditional at all. The ceremony will only be, us and close family members, because is a courthouse wedding.

Yeah it's up to you in the end! To me, RSVPs are more formal and make it easier to plan for seats & food & all that. But if you are okay reaching out to everyone for confirmation they are coming too, that will work!

I totally understand and yea I honestly feel it's fine. Again, it's going to be small and very very casual. Thank you though honestly!

I agree with the online! We did online at anrsvp.com and it is super easy. You can have ppl write the number of guests they are bringing and I did the extra option to write the guests name so I know who they are bringing.
