Hey buddy,
Well, i'm glad that some of the family members have acknowledged this, maybe they do read this board and saw my fightin' words!! haha But yeah, at some point you just have to let it roll off your back, petty people just dont matter so dont give more weight to them than they deserve
As for wedding, wow, all i can tell you, having gone through it myself recently is that I HEAR YA SISTER!! I had a hard enough time with 120+ guests, cant imagine how stressful it is with 300! Since they are mostly your hubby's family, why doesnt he take it upon himself to deal with all this and call each of them to chase down RSVPs, ha? LOL Only fair :)
But honestly, I also dont get for the life of me how people dont reply to these things but guess what, many many dont. Sometimes it's unintentional, they just think to themselves they do it later and completely forget. I had some of my friends do it that i never in a million years thought i would have to chase down to get an answer from but that's the way the cookie crumbles...But either way, it IS rude. And yes, Rachel is right, the etiquette is to call them all and get an answer one way or another, saying "they dont eat" wouldnt really cut it if they do end up showing up and sit at the table. So now is the time to call them all up and be tough about it
And as for plus ones, i have to side with Rachel on this too, i think there are plenty of people in serious relationships that would be crushed if you dont allow them to bring their significant other. I dont think they need to be married or engaged. I, myself, had some issues because i had that rule (that it was only for more or less long term couples) but then a few of my guests just started dating someone a few months prior and were head over heels for them and were begging me to bring them. What i told those people, was that if i got any guests RSVPing no, i would let them bring the plus one in those free spots. That's actually a good idea, typical wedding gets about 15-20% declines so just tell these people that you will keep them posted once you get a more or less finalized headcount. Just let them know more or less several weeks in advance, otherwise that's a little tacky to do it last min....Same with kids, although if you decided on a strictly no kids policy, you should stick to it and again call up everyone that is RSVPing with kids and let them know that its an adults only reception. We had a rule that it was only immediate family's kids that were allowed, not friends' kids and the word was spread through word of mouth and also on our wedding website (its always a good idea to have a website bec then you can just direct guests to it but its a little too late in the game for you guys if you dont have one, just call people up or email and spread the word that way)
And most of all, relax, it's Rachel's wedding, not yours, there's no reason for you to be more stressed out than the bride!!! :))) She seems to have a good head on her shoulders so i'm sure everything will turn out just fine!!
I bet things were a lot less complicated when you got married, ha, buddy? hehe
hugs,
Myst
