How many Rsvps were you missing at your deadline?

I think we were missing around 15% of our RSVPs by the deadline, though once we reached out to those we hadn't heard from, we got responses pretty quick.

Not counting RSVPs that were confirmed verbally and not formalized via Zola only two a cousin of mine and a co worker failed to rsvp.

Looks like we were missing 17% by the end of the deadline day. We called most of those people and got their response within the next couple days. After that, there were a couple who didn't have their sh** together and still wouldn't commit even like a week before the wedding (they didn't end up coming).

Out of 150 invites, we were only missing about 20 people on deadline day. I was shocked. But, we didn't make much progress. We are now 8 days away from the wedding and there are still 7 people who haven't RSVPed (and better not show up!!!). They're all my future MILs guests

I think we were missing about 25-30% on the deadline. That seems to be a common occurrence. It doesn’t take very long to put in an RSVP but boy some people take forever to get around to it 🙃

We were missing like 25%, between me, my FH and my FMIL, we were able to get all back within a week after the deadline, which luckily I added a week for a buffer.

Chasing down people who haven't yet replied pretty much comes with the territory. Typically the RSVP date is a month from the wedding date which gives you plenty of time. In reality, most caterers are able to handle adding in last minute if it turns out there's good reason for that. I'd call, not write.

View Quoted Comment I also added a week buffer because I knew we would have to reach out to some people! Glad to know we’re comparable with other couples as far as how many we are missing.

View Quoted Comment Oh I definitely knew I would have to reach out to people, and I gave myself about a week buffer to do so. We’ve already reached out to them. This post was more so a discussion just out of my curiosity!

Our actual deadline for our November 10th wedding is October 1st, but we've received a response for every single invite we've sent out! 50 isn't a lot, but it was nice that everyone replied in a timely manner!

We were probably on about 10% but a handful of them I knew were planning to come because I'd heard them talking about booking hotels or whatever.

We also had 4 people drop out in the 24 hours before the wedding, one evening guest turn up as food was happening (not a big deal, it was a buffet) and about 6 people turn up for the evening that hadn't RSVPed at all lol

UPDATE: Out of the 66 guests, we're only missing 1 RSVP! We're getting close to our RSVP deadline (Oct 1st) for our November 10th wedding, but I'm pretty content with our RSVP status so far!
