There really isn't an elegant way to do this on Facebook. If you don't have the time to call, ask for help from your fiancee or your parents. The calls don't really need to take long. You just need to let them know that the deadline has passed and that you need an answer. If you do decide to do something via Facebook, make sure you message the people privately. Putting a post up as your status or on someone's wall is just asking for trouble with people who weren't invited.

[QUOTE] Does anyone know of an elegantly put way to make a facebook status informing people that the RSVP deadline is in a WEEK & they wont be included in the head count if they dont get their RSVPs in? I haven't gotten more than half of the RSVPs, for goodness sakes a paid for the postage on them its not that hard to stick them in the outgoing mail =[ I know many people call these people for the late RSVPs, but I just don't have time to get on the phone and track people down !

Your deadline hasn't passed yet. There is no reason to get upset about this until it has. A lot of people don't put them in the mail until the deadline date. As for it "not being that hard" to mail them, that's a matter of perspective. At my last apartment, the mailboxes were on the other side of the complex from me, and I had to go out of my way to get to them. Was it hard to mail stuff? No, but it wasn't convenient, either, and it often meant I didn't mail things or pick up mail as often.

Nice try with the DD, OP.  You don't announce anything like that on FB.  There is nothing elegant about FB status updates.  You make the time to call whoever you are missing when the deadline passes.   

We had to call our entire guest list within 48 hours of the wedding to let them know it was postponed due to Sandy, so I have no sympathy for you having to call those you haven't received an RSVP for.

You DD'd but were quoted, so there's that.

Don't do this. I have friends who did statuses like this on FB and it resulted in FB friends posting things like "Where is my invitation?" You should have no wedding correspondence via FB and you definitely shouldn't nag people about their RSVPs on FB, especially before the deadline even passes.

You need to MAKE time to call and personally contact these people.
