I know questions about rsvp etiquette are probably getting old, but I have one. We really need to know who and how many people will attend our wedding to make sure we have enough chairs/food. As most do. People around my home rarely rsvp. They just assume you know they are coming. And we arent assuming anyone is coming. Almost all of my fiance's family live out of town as well. I want to put an insert in with our invitations that says:
"We want everyone to have a place to sit and food to eat. Please RSVP through our wedding website or by mailing in the enclosed postcard by October 1st."
For some reason some think this is rude, but I cant imagine why? We truly just want to make sure we have plenty of everything for everyone without going completely overboard. Am I overthinking this and is this actually rude?
