Wedding guests- chasing missing Rsvps or not

Hi everyone,
we are getting married in just over 8 weeks and I am still waiting for a reply from 2 friends and their +1.
We have known each other for a very long time but we have lost contact in the past few years, for no particular reasons, just life coming in between. I sent them an invite in January with rsvp date 31/03, I got a message from them right after thanking me for the invite and showing their excitement for the wedding etc and they told me they'd check their schedules and get back to me. I sent another reminder in April but got no reply. Would you chase them again or just leave it and take it as a no?

    I don't think it would hurt to send another reminder - you don't want the awkwardness of them turning up because they think they've RSVP'd when they haven't. To be on the safe side, I would set a short deadline and make it clear that no response will be taken as them declining. For example, "Hi, we really need to know numbers by x date, so can you let us know whether or not you are coming? If we don't hear from you by x date, we will assume you are NOT able to join us." Yes, people shouldn't need to be chased, but it's easy for something to be overlooked. We had one person who thought they had RSVPd to us when they hadn't!
