First let me start off by explaining my reasoning for my crazy idea. My brother was left with over 30 plates, which he paid for, because people rsvp and then didn't show up. My cousin had about 20 uninvited guest show up at his wedding and had to fork out another 2K to feed and seat those people who he did not even want at his wedding. Both of me and my fiance's families aren't big fans of RSVP so they will either not do it or they will do it and not show up or add more uninvited guest. I know that's rude but I can't change our families obviously so we are trying to figure out a way to attempt to eliminate either one of these scenarios especially because we are on such a tight budget and we really wanted no more than 80-96 guest. So here is my idea... I send out normal invites but I do not put the name of the venue or the address, just the date, time, and city--I'll explain in a minute. On the RSVP card I put something along the lines of "We are saving "2" seats for you RSVP by 05.10.14 to receive your romantic date night pass (or something like that not sure on the exact wording yet). For those who do not plan on attending, they will either return the declined rsvp or simply not respond but they do not know the location or venue name so it decreases the chances of unexpected guest. For those who do RSVP I plan on making really cute rustic looking tickets to match my outdoor rustic theme wedding with the venue address and their reception table number. Now I know it will not eliminate either one of my fears by 100% but I think it might help and urge people to RSVP. I rather spend like $60 to do these tickets than spend a couple grand on something unexpected. Okay people go ahead what are your thoughts on my crazy invite idea?
