I always put these things off until the last minute, too. I bet you'll get a flood of them as it gets closer to the RSVP deadline!!
We called and texted and emailed everyone that has not rsvped every week for four weeks before the wedding, and reminder email with chain of events every week for two weeks. It helps getting everyone rsvped. People tend to delay until the last minute possible, but man, I know how you feel.
Did you set a deadline?
Yup we did, we’re not close to the deadline I just thought people would open their mail and then do it but clearly that’s not how it works 😂
I actually thought the same thing. I found that most of them came in right before the deadline haha. I assume like me people waited until the last minute to pop it in the mail. I am sure you will get more back.

How much time did you give for them to respond? And, how long between deadline and the wedding? People make weird assumptions about when they think you need to know. And you will get people who back out last minute. At that point, my thought was just don't come and apologize later., I can't unpay for you and its a stressor I don't need the day before.
hate to burst your bubble but i’ve never not seen a bride complain about this. it’s snail mail, something people use maybe once every 2 years. my current apartment doesn’t have outbound mail and the closest post office is a 20 min drive through west LA, if it were me i’d put it off as long as I can 🤪

This. We got some back the first week because the post office processed the return address as the to address, so started asking people if they received it. I lot had not been to the mailbox in the last week.
I remember being very nervous my head count would be way low, but it turned out about what I expected. But did start reaching out two weeks before the deadline. Made his mom interface with all of his relatives she swore would come, we did our friends, my parents FU with our relatives. We did add some local people we had not originally invited due to the No responses. But we were very heavy on the OOT invites.
If you use theknot, their mass email is nice. I would not use their text feature. It has a very long opt out message, and very few characters not preset. Do not send any group ones on your own. No one wants to be in that kind of chain. Do individuals or use an app.
Good luck!
