@Jerseygirl23: I still have un-RSVP'd people and we had only 2 weeks ahead to add or take away linens, so I just planned as if these people were coming. Sucks though...ugh!
I told my fiance' we may have to do that and he said no way, if they can't RSVP why should we accomodate them! lol
Luckily we were able to track everyone down in time... but I wouldn't give them a table if they didn't RSVP. Worst case there's always someone who doesn't show, so they could sit there.
After calling and calling and calling the last few who I still haven't heard from... my mom's advice is to charge them a $50 cover at the door and seat them at the bar!!!
I would love to charge them at the door, lol. I went to a wedding last summer that had just the right amount of seats and two people showed up who didn't RSVP and they had no where to sit so they ended up leaving until after dinner, it was kind of priceless.
I think it depends on the people- are the scatterbrain type who just can't RSVP but you know they'll show up, or are they the avoid you like the plague because they don't want to tell you no type?
I'd try to contact them one more time telling them you need to give a final count to the rental and catering company, and if they don't respond you'll take it as they aren't coming and won't reserve a spot.
Maybe get a couple extra settings but i wouldn't arrange for a whole table for tehse people- it'd look pretty sad to have an entire empty table or one with just one couple at it
How many people are we talking about? 2-10? or 20-50?
If it's under 10, just treat them as if they were coming, it might be nice having a little bit of extra room? If it's a lot of people, I would probably call them, and just say "hi, I haven't recieved your RSVP card, and you haven't called, please call me by _____ to let me know if you're coming. I hope you understand that I have a deadline to turn in the headcount, and so if you do plan on coming it is very important you let me know. Thanks...."
We had a ton of people who didn't call back after the "rsvp check-in" call. We assumed they wouldn't come, and they didn't. Most were out of towners.
I have 18 RSVP's (36 people) that have not responded to emails or calls from myself or my fiance'. 9 of them are out of states, the other 9 are in town...
I would call or e-mail them one final time and leave a message that you're sorry they won't be able to join you for the wedding. Hopefully, that will get the message across that you aren't expecting them and aren't planning to see them!
Ugh, guess I'll get to calling tonight! (AGAIN!) Thanks ladies.

So, despite emails and phone calls to my RSVP slackers I have yet to hear from these people, but can't be %100 sure they won't show up, what would you do? Did any of you set an extra table for unexpected guests? The chair cover company needs my final count and payment by this Friday and they only take check as a form of payment so it's not like I can adjust it without it being a total PITA!
Grrr, people!
