How long do people wait to RSVP???

Im still waiting for my evening RSVPs to come back and I get married next Saturday...

OMG!!! that's out of order! I'm having a seating plan for the evening so I hope people are more forthcoming.

Ahh right, nah we dont have a seating plan for the evening only just the day which everyone did eventually and then 2 dropped out x

You would think with the meal choice people would reply - but obviously that is far too straight forward. Not good hun - hope you receive lots this week x

I sent out a meal choice too and I was getting them from about 4 weeks after I sent them. I gather you've given yourself chase up time before getting menus into the venue??? I had about 2 weeks grace before I had to go to hotel with stuff....

I get married in 3 weeks and am still waiting for 31 people to reply. All my day people have replied, it's the evening only people I'm waiting for. I think I'm being a bit too laid back about this.

Ive been fairly lucky with the day guests and there are only 3 that havent RSVPd (but Im told that one of them IS coming). The evening guests are being REALLY slow in replying! Granted the deadline isnt up til next week but I get the impression that I am gonna have to do a lot of chasing - worst thing is that most of the evening guests work with me so they see me EVERY DAY! Grr.....!!!

I've got 7 weeks between the deadline and the wedding. We're having a very different type of day/evening, as our sit-down dinner is in the evening for everyone! So I need everyone's reply... We're having a caterer making French crepes ? so I've given guests a choice of fillings. I must get in touch with him by the end of September so I've got a month to chase everybody, but still, I have better things to do!

My RSVP deadline was August 1st and still waiting on invitations. My family all replied about mid-way through and then the rest we have just had to squeeze out of people.

Hi - one of your date triplets here!!

We sent ours out middle of July and now waiting for 9 day invitations to RSVP and 4 evening ones as well as the open invitations which we have put up at work for the evening do.

Dont get it why people cant just send them back - we even put stamps on so all people had to do was tick a box and pop it in the post!

What do you do if they dont reply by the deadline date - do you strike them off the list or do you ring them up??

Tricky one - but like you we need to know so we can start table planning etc.

Hope you get some more back soon!!!#

I think I'll be a muppet and I'll give them all a ring.......... better that than have some people turn up on the day if I'm not expecting them!

Are we twins? isn't yours on 22nd?

Hi - Yes we are twins - cant believe it will be 9 weeks next Friday!!

Its funny that you said about people turning up on the day unexpectedly - I went to a wedding a few weeks ago and the groom's nan had brought four friends along to the whole wedding (according to bride they werent invited to the day or eve do!)

Luckily the venue were really accommodating and managed to squeeze them onto a table together. They obviously werent on the table plan and didnt have place cards but it didnt seem to bother them and the bride laughed it off - she said there was nothing she could do about it and wasnt going to let it spoil her day but couldnt quite believe they had just turned up!!

Think youre right - I will ring people up and check if theyre coming if they dont reply by the RSVP deadline!

Still seem to have so much to do - its all finalising but theres a long list of it!!!

Ours is on October 23rd... you'll be married 24 hours before me ?

Hi,

we are getting married December so to get in there first rather than all the xmas party invites we sent ours out early july and RSVP by 21 sep, I have only had about 35% back and its really annoying as whenever I get an invite I make sure I reply straight away! I guess people are not so organised but when you have the names you can start making the table plans work!

3 and a half months left and I am now starting to feel the pressure!!!

Hi

We gave our day guests approx. 3 weeks to RSVP and most did indeed RSP in that time, those that had to wait for conformation on weather they would be able to get holiday etc contacted us to say reply would be delayed.

That said a few people have not sent formal RSVPs just emails or txts! ( a little annoying when trying to keep track but still a reply I suppose).

YOu have given your guests a nig RSVP window and i suspect you will find you get a bunch of replies just before your deadline date when people realise they haven't RSVPd yet.

id say you'll got them next week. They will be waiting til nearer the 1st sept! Ther thinking that sept is way off, nd then it will dawn on them all of a sudden!

We have finally had all of our day RSVPs but have had about 20% of evening guests RSVP. I am currently in the process of texting/ calling them asking if they have received the invite, and if they are able to come as I need to let our evening caterer now. Our deadline was 10th August as we're getting married on 10th September.

Giving me the rage that people are so inconsiderate!
