We have all had moments in our life that have not gone as planned. The question is how do we handle these looming and sometimes complicated issues with grace? One such problem that arises often is what to do when you have not received a reply from an invited guest. Here is the answer according to Emily Post.
“The first important obligation a guest has upon receiving a wedding invitation is to respond immediately. If your invited friends and family do not have the courtesy to complete this simple task, you’ll have no choice but to get on the telephone (or to solicit the help of your soon to be mother-in-law) and politely ask the slackers if they plan to attend your nuptials.”
Harsh words from Ms. Post, but in reality it really is all you can do. After all, while it may be more work than you should have to do, having invited guests arrive after not replying with a requested RSVP can lead to many disasters you just do not need the head ache of.
