It is possible that a wedding planner will handle RSVP's but they already have so much to do. A better idea would be to have a designated person, like an aunt of the bride, handle them.
Whoever is issuing the invitation--most usually the bride or her family--receives the RSVP. There are two schools of thought on RSVPs, since there will be a number of people who come who have not RSVP'd and vice versa. If it is not a large number and you are providing a meal, it may be best to give them a call to verify. Or, take the chance that the numbers will cancel each other out and you will not have paid for too many meals.

Yes, it is common to request RSVPs for memorial services to help the family estimate attendance and make necessary arrangements. This can ensure that there is adequate seating and refreshments for guests. However, some families may choose not to request RSVPs, allowing anyone who wishes to attend to do so without prior notice. Ultimately, it depends on the preferences of the family organizing the service.
No, they do not. An invitation is just that, an invitation. The recipient does not have to attend, nor do they have to give a reason for not attending.

The deadline for RSVPs should typically be set about 1 to 2 weeks before the party. This allows enough time for hosts to finalize arrangements based on the number of attendees. If the party involves catering or seating, a longer lead time of 2 to 3 weeks may be more appropriate. Ultimately, the specific deadline can vary depending on the party's size and complexity.
The question "How many want to come?" typically seeks to determine the number of people interested in attending an event or activity. The response would depend on the specific context and audience involved. If you're organizing something, you might need to gather RSVPs to get an accurate count.
If you are planning your wedding, congratulations. Although it can be extremely stressful trying to plan a wedding, on the day of your wedding you will love the results of all your effort. Wedding planning can be even more stressful if you are on a budget. You will need to do a lot of the wedding set-up work yourself. Here are some tips to help make setting up the banquet tables at your wedding a little easier.Think About The BasicsFirst, make a list of all the tables you will need. Make a rough estimate of how many attendees your wedding will have. Ask the venue or the rental company how many people can sit at each table. In addition to tables for your guests, you will also need a table for gifts, and a table for the cake. Some bridal couples like to have a separate kids’ table with coloring books. You will also need a long banquet table for the bridal party.Make A Seating ChartOnce you get all your RSVPs back, you can get a definite count of the number of guests attending. Then, you can get started on your seating chart. When you make your seating chart, make a sketch of the layout of the tables. This will help you with the set-up later. Once you make your seating chart, you can see if you have enough tables. If you are renting tables and many of your guests cannot attend your wedding, see if the rental company will allow you to downsize your order. Do not get too stressed while you are making the seating chart. After dinner, guests will mingle as they like.Decide About Place Settings And TableclothsIf you want china and tablecloths, rent an appropriate amount from a party rental store. You can also decide if you want silverware at this time. Tablecloths can make your event seem much more formal even if you are on a small budget.Set-Up And CenterpiecesArrange the banquet tables how you want them. Make sure that there is enough room to walk between the tables. Finally, place your centerpieces in the middle of the table. Your set-up is complete.

A formal RSVP would entail a handwritten note addressed to the sender of the invitation. In some cases, such as weddings, a small card will be included with the invitation. You should use this card to indication attendance. Formal RSVPs are usually written in third person, although it would be acceptable to write in first person if the sender is a close friend or family member. People may request formal RSVP for large events to help them keep track of who has responded to their invitations.
Always start with a catchy title! Something like "Come have a splash of fun!" or something along that lines. Then make sure you put the date, time, location, and phone number if you want RSVPs. Add a lot of pictures of like people diving into pools or something. Good luck and have fun!
