RSVP Rant/Want to go Bridezilla on FI's family!

So we are now down to 3 weeks before the wedding and are still missing 20 RSVP's....all from FI's family. FMIL is also being really difficult with getting me contact information for these people. So I used FI's facebook to send a message to his cousins that he is friends with that have not responded. One of which post on facebook EVRY 5 MINUTES but I have yet to get  a response in 2 weeks and 2 messages! GRRRR! I don't know what to do at this point! I want to be a real B and send a nasty message to her but I am refraining barely. I also thought of sending a not so polite but to the point letter or something to the rest since I don't have their phone numbers or e-mails. UGH! Sorry, vent over.

  • I didn't receive a single RSVP from FI's family either..

  • We're missing a bunch still but they've all either told us they're coming or we basically know they aren't going to be coming.

    Also, don't rely on facebook to send messages. I don't know how many times I haven't received messages on facebook or how many haven't actually sent. Being rude is just going to make you look bad. Send another message politely saying that you'll take their non response as a no and move on.

  • I thought of just ssending a message that we will count them as not coming but FI thought that was rude too!

    I don't really want to just count all 20 of them as no's because I need an accurate count for the caterer and for rentals. I wish I could though. In my perfect world I would love to have a door person with a name sheet and not let non RSVPers in ;) But I know that's just my inner B fighting her way to the surface.

    FI has asked his mom for the contact info but she is just like "Oh yeah I will get that to you" and never does.
  • That sounds perfect! Thank you I will try that!
