189: Has Your Wedding RSVP Deadline Passed? Don't Panic, Do This

You set an RSVP deadline. You put it right there on your wedding invitation. You probably even sent a reminder. And yet, here you are, past that date, staring at a guest list where a chunk of people have just said... nothing. And the problem with no response is that you’re stuck:  • Your caterer needs final numbers.  • Your venue needs final numbers.  • Your seating chart needs names.   Today we’re going to talk about why this happens, why it hurts as much as it does, and exactly what you need to do next. Including one strategy that I think is one of the most overlooked tools couples have in this situation, and it has nothing to do with sending another group reminder.
