At what point do you start texting and calling guests for their RSVPs? Our RSVP date is next week, and over 50% of our guests haven't formally responded yet. Is that normal? Is it tacky to start reaching to folks before the actual rsvp date?

Are you bound by any sort of hard deadline to have a final headcount?

If yes - I think it’s fair to start pestering people.
If no - I say give it a few days after the RSVP date before you start asking folks.

I think people (should) recognize that planning weddings can be pretty time sensitive so I wouldn’t find it tacky.

Nah we got most of ours right at the rsvp date and we started our email/text reminder the week after the deadline.

You gave that deadline. Allow them to honour it and then bother people after.

definitely tacky to reach out before. i recommend setting up an online rsvp link through your website and sending it to people on the rsvp date so they can do it immediately

So my fiancé and I are having a microwedding in Rocky Mountain National Park next year, and we’re working with an elopement planner.

I’m just really happy that I found someone who is willing to take a vow to spend his life with me and I’m so excited for that day :)

Have you talked about your wedding with coworkers? I made the mistake of saying I had to leave work a little early one day because I was going to do a tasting at my venue. That starts a debate on why one shouldn’t get married, how much wedding costs & what a waste it is, dresses are stupid because you only wear them once, etc. I haven’t talked about my wedding much, but I didn’t appreciate this. I ignored the negative comments and we moved the conversation along. Not talking about that anymore!

Are you paying for bridesmaid hair and make-up? Was a little sticker shocked $200 per person before gratuity, just adds up quickly with that many people😬 Not requiring it but wanted to offer it if they want to be more glammed up, but now seeing online that’s it’s considered quite rude to not cover it for them? Maybe just cover one and they can do the other if they want? Don’t want to be rude if it’s expected but also don’t want to blow our budget… any perspective on the “norm” appreciated!
