Frequently asked questions
What should late wedding rsvp reminder wording make clear?
Use the RSVP to send a polite follow-up after the RSVP deadline has passed. Make the response action and deadline obvious, and ask only for information you will genuinely use when planning the wedding.
How soon after the RSVP deadline should I chase a missing reply?
A polite follow-up within a day or two is reasonable if you need final numbers. Give a clear new response date and make the reply as easy as possible, especially if supplier deadlines are close.
What is the best way to send a late RSVP reminder?
Use the channel the guest is most likely to see quickly, such as a personal text, WhatsApp message, email or phone call. Keep it one-to-one, include the response link if there is one, and avoid public group reminders.
