Q. I’m worried about people not RSVPing to my daughter’s wedding (250 guests!) in a timely manner. How can I let them know that I need to have an answer by a certain date, without looking pushy or rude?
A. It’s very important for guests to reply as soon as possible when they receive a wedding invitation. Between caterers, wedding planners and your own sanity, it’s crucial to get those replies. The best thing you can do is put a “Please reply by…” notice on the reply card itself. If some guests still haven’t given you an answer once this date has passed you may most certainly call them up to find out whether or not they will be attending. Saying something like, “Jane, I was just calling to see if you and John would be able to come to Juliette and Mike’s wedding on August 10th…” will keep the conversation light and you’ll get the information you need the most.
