The one frustrating thing about sending out wedding invitations is that you often do not getting wedding rsvp replies as quickly as you'd like. Worse still, some guests never send them. They're not sent because they're undecided, they can't go but don't want to break the news in a mailing, or they simply forget. To avoid this from happening, consider sending wedding rsvp reply cards in the mail. Have them printed up, and include pre-stamped and pre-addressed envelopes (or use a double-sided postcard). Give your guests ample time to reply. They should have thirty days to respond with a wedding rsvp, and you should give yourself a cushion of forty-five days between that deadline and the wedding date, in case of stragglers or guests who change their minds.
If you have a set a deadline and mentioned it somewhere on the wedding rsvp card or wedding invitation and you still haven't heard back, consider giving your guests a phone call. Be honest with them: you need their wedding rsvp answer so that you can finalize the plans for your wedding. Chances are, they will apologize profusely and get you a definitive answer as soon as possible.
