OMG girl this is one of my biggest fears LOL
I have a very large Hispanic family as does my fiance. We are used to someone telling one family member there is a party and everyone showing up. We are not used to RSVPs at all. Now I’m so scared that when I do send out invites, they won’t RSVP but they will show up!!
I think that you should tell your caterer a safe number like 50. Ask the caterer if there will be an opportunity to do a final count after the wedding and to get a refund for the food they don’t serve. My friend was able to do that with her wedding cake (40 ppl that RSVP did not show up!) but I don’t know about the actual catering. It wouldn’t hurt to ask.
You could also send out friendly reminders by phone or by email, if you have that contact information available. Word of mouth works well too.
Good luck! |
