Wedding RSVP's...

[atcwag]

So...RSVP's are due for my wedding on Saturday. That is 3 days away and we still have nearly half (106 to be exact) people who are yet to RSVP. This is discluding the people who have RSVP'd by word-of-mouth. Do people not realize that this whole thing takes planning and I don't want to pay for your meal if you are not coming?!?!? Seriously, there is a stamp on the RSVP. All they have to do is drop it in the mail! GRRR!!!!

Wow, that's a lot! Very stressful for a bride.

I'm sorry you are having to deal with this. Meals are something you really need to plan on as well so you have enough but not a bunch going to waste. Just remember this is your special day and enjoy it to the fullest

Is there someone who would be willing to make a bunch of phone calls and at least try and narrow the RSVP list for you a bit?

HUGS and CONGRATS!!!

A friend of mine got married 2 weeks ago and that's what I did. Got to track down the no-repliers-kinda like a bounty hunter....

Welcome to bride-dom, sorry. As other have suggested, have someone sit down with a list of phone numbers and start calling people to remind them. This is one of the most frustrating aspects of a wedding.....

Sorry about this dilema. I love the show 4 Weddings and on one episode I saw the best man announced that if you had not RSVP'd that you didn't have a spot in the dining area and were free to sit outside LOL very tacky. I vote on making the phone calls.

Seriously???? I bet they made room for them on the gift table though....geez.

Sorry about your stress OP. I had lots of RSVPs, but then a category 4 hurricane hit our town a few days before the wedding...so lots of people didn't show because they were trying to tarp the holes in their roofs. We had three generators hooked up to freezers up until they day before because we had no power and the wedding food would have gone bad (we provided the food for the caterer).

If you have a roof and power, you're way ahead of where I was!

I'll be that person and admit that I don't understand RSVPs, but then I tend to be socially awkward and etiquette challenged. If I don't respond to an invitation, it means I'm not coming, and I don't think anything more about it. I get invited to 826992746 various functions a year, it seems, and if I'm not going, it never crosses my mind to tell someone I'm not going. I only confirm if I am going. It's just one of those formalities I don't get. I'm ok with someone calling/facebooking/emailing to ask. I do think it would be rude to just show up without confirming.

But then I'm also the grump who thinks that things like bridal and baby showers are inherently tacky and avoid those like the plague (I know this is neither). I guess I won't be writing any books on etiquette anytime soon.
