AND I MEAN IT!!! lol. After vfriday's post, I wondered what you ladies are going to do if/when people that have not RSVP'd show up at your wedding?!
Here's my plan:
I will have a HEAD hostess, an adult with wedding experience. She will have a list of the people that have RSVP'd. She will also have a list of people that did NOT RSVP. When the people come up to the table, they will be asked their name. When she locates them on the RSVP list, she will then let them pass to the other 2 hostesses. They will help them to find their name on the escort card chart. And from there, assist them with finding their tables if they need it.
If their name is NOT on the RSVP list, she'll look on the "invited but ain't RSVP" list. If they're on there, then she'll tell them that they can wait to see if someone that RSVP'd had not shown up and we MIGHT be able to accommodate them.
If their name is on neither list... CHILE, BYE! You wasn't even invited! Go to bed!!!
SO, what are yall's game plans?!

I'm doing this.... Except my DOC team will be handling it.
I just had someone call me yesterday and ask was it too late to RSVP! Ummm.... YES! You had two months to decide if you were coming.
For those who show up but weren't invited (depending on who your are), I don't mind if they take a seat of a no-show. I'd rather fill the seat than have it empty & waste our money.

[QUOTE]That is too funny! I have no idea what we're going to do yet. I know that <strong>some of FI's ghetto azz family will be the ones to just show up</strong>. I'm having escort cards and maybe what we'll do is if someone who didn't RSVP is wondering where their escort card is, then we can kind of do what you're doing Ty and have them kind of wait and see if there's somewhere they can sit. Or maybe we'll have an extra table in the back corner (because if you don't RSVP you don't deserve a good seat!) as kind of an "overflow" table. I don't know though. I'm not looking forward to this part AT ALL!

<div>This.. yes!!! I will probably do something like tyboyd. Can't stand foolish ignorance though!</div>
[QUOTE]I'm thinking we might be able to avoid this because to even get on the resort your name has to be on the guest list. So if all goes as planned, anyone who hasn't RSVP'd will be SOL and I don't plan on feeling bad about that at all. <font color="#ff0000"><strong>They just don't realize how expensive it is to pay for each seat.

Yeah, I'm one of those big wedding guest list people. I think it will be more folks on my side not doing the right thing than his.

Such a classic line...Love it
And my DOC along with the Venue's coordinator will have the pleasure of saying ummm NO. I don't even play like that i personally called everyone who had not RSVP'd a week after they were due. So with that being said Good night and sleep tight cause i cant help ya.

lmao but true!
We're having a seating chart made by our stationer which will contain the guest names that RSVP along eith their table name. If they don't RSVP, they will not be on the seating chart, hence no seat.
Our coordinator will also have a copy of the seating chart on her to answer guest questions and help them find their tables. However, I know my parents, if somone shows up without having RSVPed, they'll be pissed but they will find a way to accomodate them and cuss them out later.
I am going to give one courtesy call..... and it's a wrap. no rsvp no seat. I so agree.
