Is it necessary 4 the bridal party to rsvp to a wedding reception if u are bridesmade?
MUFF2309 asked:
Isn’t the Bridal party(bridesmaids) supposed to be automatically counted in to attend the reception? Mind you the wedding and reception are all taking place in the same location.

Good grief, RSVP anyway!
Yes, if you receive an invitation you must rsvp.
I was married last year and all of my bridesmaids and maid of honor sent back their rsvp.
Yes you should R.S.V.P. This way they know what you are eating and if you are bringing a guest. Also, someone else may be helping with the head count. Just do it. It takes a minute and the stamp is included….
If the person sending invitations requires a RSVP, just do it.
If not, its expected for the bridal party to attend, so it shouldnt be a big deal.
It’s just like a courtesy to RSVP; it helps how ever is in charge of the food and seating (and all that stuff) know how many to be exact will be attending. Congrats being in the party, and have a great time, but first remember to RSVP!
Yes, as an invited guest you should RSVP even though you are a bridesMAID. The reason for this is to have a tangible item (i.e. the response card) to keep track of the number of guests attending. Also, some weddings allow the guests to choose a meal, so the couple will need to know what the bridal party would like for dinner. And finally, if you are invited with guest, the couple will need to know if you are 1 or 2.
Regardless of your involvement - if they sent you an invite send them an RSVP.
Send a really lovely card to the couple thanking them for the opportunity to be involved in their day and letting them know you will most certainly be attending.
I sent back a really nice card to a friend I was bridesmaid for saying - very tongue in cheek - “just in case you weren’t sure… Of course I will be attending your wedding - I wouldn’t miss it for the world”.
Necessary, probably not, but courteous… yes
I had mine do it only because there was so much going on and I wanted an accurate head count. You’ll be surprised during that time how many times I almost forgot my own name because there was so much to remember!
I’m Pretty Sure The Couple Know You Are Coming. So No, You Don’t Have To RSVP.
Well I RSVP’ed for a wedding where they knew for certain I was coming. I got a “well we assumed that” back, but it’s a good idea to do it, so that they have everything in the same place, and don’t end up trying to figure out why the numbers don’t match.
