Help...in over my head

I'm getting married on August 4th and I've sent out invitations. I haven't received any back and some people have let me know that they received them but there are others that I haven't heard anything from nor have I gotten any back. We aren't serving a meal so we didn't include an rsvp so they haven't replies to me. Do I need to go through the list and email/call to check to see if they got the invitation or do I just leave it alone?

I would give them an e-mail/call just to get an idea of who is coming and who isn't this way you can give a head count to the caterer or know how much food you are going to need.  My RSVP date was last Friday and I still had 120 people that didn't reply so now I am on on the phones trying to track down people.

If you're not serving a meal then I wouldn't worry about it. If there wasn't an RSVP included they probably just assume that they don't need to let you know that they received the invite.

She said she isn't serving food - so I'd probably just leave it alone lol

The way your post sounds, it seems like guests were not expected to RSVP as there isn't a full meal being served. So unless I'm misunderstanding, it would seem like a waste of your time to call everyone. I would just let it be.

It doesn't sound as though your guests had any reason to contact you and let you know if they were coming.  It doesn't sound like you need to know a number (no food counts) and they weren't instructed to do so, so I wouldn't worry at all.  It's flowing as it should.

You're not serving any food at your reception?  I've heard of appetizers only or cake and punch but no food seems a bit strange to me.

If you wanted people to RSVP whether they were coming you should have included a card wtih RSVP details.

Exactly.  If I received a wedding invite with no RSVP, I probably wouldn't even say anything to you about receiving the invite, unless we were close friends or something
