No - it isn't safe to assume they aren't coming. Its possible they are attending, but mailed it late or thought they mailed it but didn't.
Can you have your FI or Mom or BM call/email the people that haven't RSVPed?
Agree with TexasMeredith. It's just better to know that final number especially if the caterer or venue requires it.
It's not too hard to find everyone. Recruit some people, send emails, phone calls, etc. I actually recruited aunts and cousins to find people. It worked for us and I got back all my 290 responses one way or another.
Ok this is the worst, but yes you have to be a mom and babysit, and call each and every grown adult who couldn't manage to fill out the freaking little card.. i'm not bitter I swear.
I know you don't want to hear this, but if you need to know who is coming, then you are going to have to call and ask. It's not safe to assume that if they didn't RSVP then they won't show up.
Yeah, you unfortunately have to shake people down to give you a solid yes or no. I just threw my sister a shower and out of 60 invitations that went out I only received like 20 RSVP's. We had to call/email/stalk people the week before the shower just so we could figure out how much food to order! And a lot of the non-responders ended up coming, so it's very important that you find out.
Ooooh you have to call! Alot of those people are thinking "Oh I don't have to RSVP, they know I wouldn't miss it!" so they didn't bother, while others are just blowing it off. Definintely call! It stinks you have to babysit like that, but better to call than to have 40 extra people, or 40 people you've paid for that don't show up!
In all honesty, it's ok to check and see if they even received the invitation. I was glad I did! There were a small handful of invites (maybe 4 or 5) that got lost in the mail when I sent mine out.
not safe at all!!! send/call/txt/facebook them a notification that you did not hear from them after __ attempts and consider them as not coming. you will be surprised how many people say "oh! you didnt get my response?" "OH! yes, i am!"
its funny there was a fam member that we sent the invite out 2x to that never received it. in addition, there was another one whose next door neighbor must've have receieved it since i put 22 instead of 24. wouldnt you think they would give their neighbor missing mail??
Unfortunately you have no way of knowing whether or not the missing RSVPs will show or not. Gotta get on the phone.
Why oh why can't people send in a card with a 'yes' and a 'no' box and the stamp already affixed???

Is it safe to assume people that didn't RSPV aren't coming? I DO NOT want to call anyone and ask "Did you get the invitation?" or "Are you coming?" but well, I myself didn't reply to the last wedding I attended, though I did let her know before the wedding...
