This WILL happen! If all your guests RSVP on time, you have the Best. Guests. Ever! So many brides tear their hair out when people don’t reply, even when they’ve supplied self-addressed RSVPs!
My advice? If you’re having a big wedding and exact numbers are crucial, then account for…
the slow-coaches by giving a ‘reply by’ date at least a couple of weeks earlier than you had planned
the postally-challenged by giving them a phone number or an email address as an alternative means of replying
the downright lazy by resigning yourself to the fact that you might have to chase them for an answer.
Don’t take it personally. Yes, it’s bad manners, but there’s probably a million reasons why they haven’t replied… but you love them, right, that’s why you’re inviting them to your wedding?
A-a-a-a-n-d…….breathe!! Good luck!
