RSVP on evening invites???

I guess it depends on what you're venue will provide for the evening guests? I'm getting married in Ireland and our provider has told us no need to know how many coming to the evening 'do' as the evening part tends not to really start until 9 or 10 PM and what they do for the evening guests is a buffet of finger food and they just require a 'ballpark' number. As a result, we're not putting an RSVP on the evening invite - it's also precedence - I've been invited to lots of evening weddings over the years and never had to RSVP but.... that might just be an Irish thing! ?

Whenever I've been an eve guest I've always had to RSVP if that helps x

I think its a good idea to put them on, some people need an extra nudge to reply in time.

The last evening invitation I was given hadan RSVP. It'd be handy to know how many you have to cater for for buffet for example.
