RSVP Deadline

So our RSVP deadline for our wedding is today.  There are quite a few people who have expressed that they plan to attend the wedding, but have never sent in their RSVP indicating how many plan to attend.  There could be some RSVP’s trickling in the next few days, but I doubt it.  Do we assume that these people are going to attend or do we assume they were only being nice and said they would attend, but never planned on it?  Is it in bad taste to call and ask if they plan to join us?  The only reason I’m concerned is that the price per person is not cheap and I’d really like to know how many people really will be there.  I’m just so frustrated with some of the people since many are the FH’s family and they just don’t seem to understand the importance of knowing final guest counts…or that RSVP-ing is sometimes necessary.  My MOH is hosting our couple’s shower and asked that people call with regrets only, no one has called (yay), but then I think about the FH’s family and their lack of RSVP-ing skills and I’m concerned that my MOH (also my sister) will plan for twice the amount of people that will actually show up.  I hate making assumptions, but I also hate making people feel uncomfortable or obligated in someway to attend by calling.  I’ve pestered the FH about it, but that only goes so far.  :::SIGH:::  And I thought I was stressed before.  Anyone else dealing with this and know the best way to go about this?

    absolutely you can call them!  It is rude of them to not RSVP.  We got lucky and all of our guests RSVP'd, but believe me, I was ready to have to make some phonecalls.

    When you call, if they give you a hard time you can explain to them that the caterer needs to have a "final count" and that since you hadn't heard from them you wanted to ensure that they would be fed if they are in fact planning on attending!  Good luck!
    no identifiable siggy pictures anymore, thanks a lot stupid nest!

    Call call call!  You don't want to be stuck w/ extra food at an extra cost.  Our RSVP date is 3 weeks away and we only have about 20% responses back.  I'm fully prepared to start calling now, but resisting my bridezilla temptation ;)

    Agreed - you definitely call them. I, too, am about 4 weeks away from my deadline and am getting so impatient...you better believe I'll be calling one day later!

    PHEW!  I'm so glad to know that I'm OK to call and that I'm OK to be frustrated!  I'm no Bridezilla, but I think there may be a small one inside me that is about to roar her ugly head!  Wink

    I am having everyone RSVP 3 weeks prior to the wedding so that way it gives me Plenty of time to call any one who hasn't RSVP'ed..

    Also maybe have your MOH or Best Man help out with the calling around..

    best of luck

    My fiance's family notoriously just shows up to any/all events w/ no RSVP...it's just how they do things....His Mom is already planning on callling all of them, probably prior to RSVP deadline!
