Hi everyone,
I'm the maid of honor for my soon-to-be married friend, and I am planning her bridal shower and bachelorette party, both of which are going to be on the same day. For her bachelorette party, we were going to go to dinner and then to a Comedy Club.
After getting all the plans together, there's a new stress - only ONE person has RSVPed, and today was the RSVP date! I sent out about 15 invitations. I haven't even heard from the other bridesmaids.
I had emailed all of the girls to get their addresses for invitations, and some of them said in the email that they were going. However, that was almost two months ago, and I clearly marked on the invitations that I needed them to RSVP so I could have final numbers.
I'm not too concerned about the shower, because I don't really require exact numbers for that. However, I am worried about dinner and especially for the Comedy Club, because I was going to buy tickets ahead of time.
Is there a polite way to email all of these girls again and confirm what they're coming to without seeming pushy?
Also, what do I do if more girls show up then affirmatively responded? I think the bride has verbally invited people, which is fine, but I don't know what to do if 20 people show up and I only have a reservation for 10.
Thanks!!
