what to do if not enough people rsvp?

HI Bride

If your RSVP date is fastly approaching make contact via phone, text, wedding website, email etc reminding guests to rsvp as they may have gotten busy and forgot to send back. If they do not respond you may have a back up list of guests that you would like to invite.

Hope this helps

I would suggest calling those who have not responded to ensure that you have exact numbers. Double check with the venue to see if you can change to a smaller room if this is possible, otherwise most venues will make you pay a minimum number.

Good luck and I am sure the day and all these hiccups will be fine. 

Congratulations again.

Hello Bride -  my first piece of advice is - don't stress.  

If you have passed your RSVP date, it is conceivable that their reply card got lost in the mail, or if it was an email RSVP - that they have simply not followed etiquette.  A simple follow up call is completely appropriate, only if you have already passed your RSVP date - if your list is too long then split it between bridesmaids, family, your mum or a friend who has the time to help out. 

Be relaxed on the call - how excited your are that it's only '2 weeks' to the wedding, that you don't seem to have their RSVP but that you were so hoping they would be there to share the day - are they able to attend?

Know when your final date is for numbers to caterers, venue etc, and if you have still not received a response from a number of your guests it is perfectly ok to give them a date for final response - 'we really hope to have you join us but if we have not heard back from you by Friday, when we need to have final numbers with our caterer,  then we look forward to sharing our honeymoon pics with you when we return.'

Take care and I hope your wedding is glorious

I would contact them all just confirming that they have received the invite and if they are attending. If your list is too long spilt this with your in-laws and parents to help you out. A phone call wont hurt. If you are only trying to get the numbers for the venue call those that you really want to attend first.  

Best of luck
