Everyone else I just assume they are not coming. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-chase-rsvps#post-1995966 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 13:07:59 +0000 Andrea 1995966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not usually, I take the lack of response as a no and make a few extra favor bags in case anyone shows up. And I always overbuy on food/drinks anyway so I don't worry that we won't have enough with extra people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-chase-rsvps#post-1995858 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 12:12:49 +0000 Meowkers 1995858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and I hate doing it. I think it's so rude that people can't take 2 minutes to respond. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-chase-rsvps#post-1995630 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 10:38:10 +0000 anonysquire 1995630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: well how inconvenient that she doesn't get to choose the guest list at a party that isn't hers :) Geez! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-chase-rsvps#post-1995623 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 10:33:45 +0000 autumnlove 1995623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: only 1/3 of her friends is attending so I think her answer is gonna be no! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-chase-rsvps#post-1995618 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 10:32:11 +0000 anonysquire 1995618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: seriously?? I would tell her whoever she doesn't want attenting, is attending. Holy difficult!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-chase-rsvps#post-1995601 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 10:23:29 +0000 PinkElephant 1995601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on how extensive the prep requirements are. Not RSVPingrealy annoys me though. And if someone on my list was being as persnickety as the friend who wants to know who else is coming before deciding, they might not get an invite from me next time! C'mon, I understand why s/he wants to know, but at least be discreet about it, right?! https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-chase-rsvps#post-1995585 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 10:17:20 +0000 dolphin 1995585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, always. I like to know the exact headcount. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-chase-rsvps#post-1995562 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 10:09:32 +0000 autumnlove 1995562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: yeah, I think I'm going to stop and just make a few extra favor bags! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-chase-rsvps#post-1995555 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 10:06:34 +0000 Mamaof2 1995555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>never - I assume no reply is a "no" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-chase-rsvps#post-1995552 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 10:04:46 +0000 jetsa 1995552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I figure half the unanswered aren't coming and leave it at that </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-chase-rsvps#post-1995531 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 09:54:28 +0000 MapleMoose 1995531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on the event and what the food situation is. If it's just a birthday party and I'm preparing the meal or picking up catered food then I don't chase RSVPs. If it's a more formal event held at a location other than a house and the food has to be ordered according to how many people are attending then I do chase RSVPs. Though I usually don't have to worry about my side, it's always people on DH's side that never RSVP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-chase-rsvps#post-1995525 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 09:51:00 +0000 autumnlove 1995525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ValentineMommy: I don't mind texting people the day the RSVP is due for a yes or no answer but one friend wants to know specifics about who is attending before she decides....and she says she will get back to me soon. lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-chase-rsvps#post-1995518 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 09:49:22 +0000 ValentineMommy 1995518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup I do. And I hate it too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-chase-rsvps#post-1995509 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 09:46:58 +0000 autumnlove 1995509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chasing RSVPS is my least favorite part of party planning. We are ordering food so I want to have the right amount! </p>
