Hello! My RSVP due date was Wednesday so I've started pinging people who I haven't heard from since the numbers are due to my caterer on Monday. I've had a couple people say they were trying really hard to make it work for work/life reasons but hadn't found a way yet and if I needed an answer now it'd have to be a decline.
As you can see from my ticker my wedding is on October 10. Did I set our RSVPs too far away? I'm worried I'm forcing people to say no when they'd rather say yes because of my close due date, but it's a rather large event with lots lots lots of food so the caterer said she needs about two weeks to get all the rentals, etc. squared. Should I have pushed back on that?
I'm nervous I've been rude to the people I love -- perhaps especially because some of those who said they were trying to make it work but couldn't are some of my absolute favorite people. If they can't make it, then they can't make it and I understand but I feel bad that I might have put them in a bad situation with my RSVP due date.
