RSVP etiquette

Our wedding is a week from Saturday and we are planning an outside wedding at a lakehouse at Put-In-Bay. We understand that since it is an hour drive from Toledo and hotel rooms are not cheap along with the cost of the ferry ride and other expenses on the island some people won't be able to come, but we sent invites out with plenty of time for people to RSVP and still a large number have not responded at all. Of course we need an accurate count for food, tables, etc. What is the etiquette for this? do I call them? I don't want people to think they HAVE to come but how hard is it to RSVP???

    Yep, if it's past the deadline, start calling.

    Not getting RSVPs is soooo frustrating!!

    Ditto the others, if your RSVP deadline has passed, start contacting them.  For friends, I called/e-mailed, and for family, I passed those off to my Mom & Dad or MIL/FIL and they contacted them for me.

    I would definitely call.  With your wedding so close, you need to find out for sure.  I still have over 1/2 of my RSVP's out there and my deadline is Saturday.  I will give them until Monday to get it and if I don't have it, you can bet I will be on the phone making calls to those who don't understand the RSVP concept.  Just makes me mad that you provide them with the stamp and everything and all the need to do is make a simple check mark.  UGH! lol

    But good luck with finding out a head count!!

    Don't feel guilty about calling people who did not RSVP.  You *need* an accurate count.  And if you don't get an answer from them, you have to assume that they *are* coming and you have to include them.  So definitely don't feel guilty about calling people.

    Thanks everyone! I made a few calls today and of course I got a lot of "whoops I forgot" and "I thought I sent it" but now we have an accurate count and I can now set that stress aside and focus on more important details....Like please mother nature don't rain!!!!!! LOL
