When can you chase RSVP's??

toby'smum, 14 March, 2011 at 12:29 Posted on Planning 0 7

Hi ladies, I have a query about RSVP's, if I sent my invitations out at the end of February for my wedding on 28th May when can I chase people that haven't replied? We are catering ourselves so need to know numbers as mother in law to be is already starting to bake and freeze!! I don't want to harrass people so would like to know what the general thought is to how long you leave it.

Thanks

    Did you specify a date for which to have the RSVP's back?

    When did you tell them to RSVP by?

    If you didn't include a date, I would start chasing mid-April as you've then given guests a month and a half. Tell people that if they haven't decided and let you know by 1st of May then you will assume they're not coming.

    hope that helps!

    Venues normally require 2-4 weeks notice of final numbers, so I'd say 2 weeks before that date.

    Don't let people put you off giving you a definite answer, you need to know and they need to know you need to know. If they say "can they get back to you in a couple of days" then do so, and if they can't tell you a "yes" at that time then it's a "no" isn't it?

    I have little time or tolerance for late replies - there are only two people on our list that haven't replied, one is having family issues, the other is my boss...

    I agree I think people should let you know one way or the other, I can't be doing with people dithering! We are having the reception in my mother in law's garden in a marquee so we are doing everything ourselves, we have ordered tables/chairs etc but need definite numbers so we can finalise everything and organise food and drinks etc. I will chase mid April and if they don't let me know by 1st May presume they are not coming.

    My mate kept banging on about his recent wins, so I finally gave in and signed up. I was honestly surprised by the variety of digital fruit machines available on This Is Vegas Casino for players across the United Kingdom. It was the smooth graphics that kept me hooked for hours. I ended up having a really decent run on a weekend evening, which was a nice change of pace.
