for DD1's 1st birthday, none of my family RSVP'd but they all turned up. mum said 'i bet they still turn up..' so i just dropped a few comments 'oh, i hope i have enough food, i didnt get many RSVP's' lol even though i did cater enough.
fair enough if you say you'll be there, then come down sick. just send another text and say 'really sorry but im sick and cant make it' (ok, maybe worded a bit nicer but you get the drift lol)
i'm yet to find out how bad the people we've invited to our wedding are at RSVP'n. It was bad enough for our engagement party! Wedding RSVP's are most important because you need exact numbers.
For something big I would chase up RSVPs. For something informal I was having at home I'd just assume they weren't coming. If they still turned up I would make a comment about not expecting them!!
For our wedding I had to chase up quite a few RSVPs, it's so annoying. How are you supposed to assume certain people are coming? Why would you bother sending invites if this was the case? My DHs aunt didn't RSVP & even when my MIL called her she still wouldn't answer yes or no. Her reason - she didn't know what the weather would be like on the day!! WTF has that got to do with anything?
CheezelM ... sounds like the Aunt was only gonna be there for a free feed rather than the actual celebration ... OMG, i've stood in the rain for people getting married & thought nothing of it as the joy of celebration over rides the darn weather any day ... A friends Wedding was at 6am on a beach pier in freezing Winter in Melb & i had nothing but tears of joy for them (and some goosebumps, LOL). I even ruined a brand-new pair of expensive Italian suede shoes in the mud as it rained that hard at my sister's Wedding !!
