Hello all,
It's 4 days after my RSVP date. I figured I would allow a few days of buffer time in case people thought it was okay to be postmarked by the RSVP date. Anyway, out of 200 RSVPs, I've received 103 RSVPs back to date. I'm a bit annoyed since the RSVP was already pre-addressed and pre-stamped.
Anyway, I'm going to start making phone calls, leaving emails and private facebook messages for people who haven't sent back their RSVPs. I was planning on wording it as:
"Hi ______, We had sent out our wedding invitations on _____ and were wondering if you have received it because we haven't received your RSVP yet. We have to give our final numbers to our venue and caterer by _____ and will not be able to accommodate any changes to it once it is finalized. We hope that you will be able to come but if you cannot, we understand. If you would confirm your attendance, we would really appreciate it. If for some reason you have not received the invitation please let me know by tomorrow and I will send you all of the details."
My fiance and I do not want to run the risk of having empty seats or no seats for a bunch of guests showing up that have not RSVPed. Do you think the paragraph above is fair to say?
Thanks.
