What should I do??

Steelgoddess, 1 April, 2010 at 22:08 Posted on Planning 0 8

Ok so far so good about 98% of the wedding invites have been returned or have replied...

I have one dilemma though, one friend who has been invited said she would come around last weekend to drop off the rsvp in person. She didn;t call or turn up and I have not heard a dickie bird. On Monday i sent a reminder of the deadline to everyone in question (which is today) including her, I have also Phoned/texted AND sent her an email!!

Tbh Im a bit cheesed off she hasnt bother to reply on time but mostly she has not even responded, i know people are busy but how hard is it to return an invite after having it for nearly 3mths!!!

What should I do??? Should I give a certain amount of time? And what if she replies saying she can come but not for another month or something?

Its so irritating as her invite is the only daytime one outstanding!!

    Contact her one last time - say you need to confirm some numbers with the venue and if she doesn't get back then I would cross her off the list and tell her why if she mentions it later down the line.

    This really annoys me about people.

    What you have to remember is that your wedding is the most important thing to you right now but unfortunately to others it isn't

    im sure its just an over sight and i missed deadlines unintentionally all the time. just call and ask im sure that if your only waiting on her to reply it really not a major issue.

    sorry if thats blunt but thats the way it is

    Im really inclined to agree with gillsy, its a wedding ffs - people are forking out for you at least have the courtesy to rep

    you have text/called/emailed her so its not like she could have 'forgotten' about it.

    ive had a few folk say maybees and im totally fine with that, it might require a bit of jiggery pokery nearer the time but thats ok coz mine is an ultra low key wedding - but if i was having the works or anything like it and lady muck couldnt even be bothered replying within 3 months? im sorry but theres no way im working 3/4 of a day to pay for a meal for someone who is too self absorbed to reply to a bloody invite never mind a call, email and text!

    I would give her another chance. Depends how good a friend it is. Then if still no reply I would be inclined to say no!

    Hmmm ok I think plan of action is going to be, wait for one more full week if I have not heard from her by then I will send her another txt and email to confirm by the end of that day otherwise...

    Thinking about it, I do think its rude... I would understand if it was the evening but yes you've been invited to an important event, wheter its her wedding or not... You should still reply!!!

    How much do you want this friend to come?? Whilst a non-rsvp is highly rude and very annoying, this is a friend who you obviously want there otherwise you wouldn't have intvited her to the whole day. You're really gonna cross her off the list cos she's a week late??

    I had some firends who still haven't RSVP'd who are coming to the wedding. I made sure I told them straight they hadn't RSVP'd and it was bloody rude but they're my mates and I still want them there. I just make sarky comments every now and then. But then I can, as they're mates ?

    Has she indicated that she would be coming? I would wait another couple of days and then call/text saying that you need to know by the end of the day to give final numbers to the venue and if you don't hear from her you will have to put her down as a 'no'.

    If she was going to get the rsvp to you then thats a 'yes i'm coming' hint. Put her down as a yes, its easier to remove someone later down the line than it is to add someone.....

    so as your wedding day approaches - like 4 weeks before- confirm if you havent heard from her and then decide to cut your losses....
