people that have not RSVPed

Hi ladies!

My mother and aunt are throwing DH and I a shower.  There are quite a handful of guests, 20 to be exact (most of them are my friends) that have not RSVPed (they were suppose to RSVP by yesterday).

Since they are my friends (and my mother does not know them very well), would it be ok if I called them to see if they are coming or should I just give my mom the numbers and have her call them?

If my mom was just hosting the shower at her house, it wouldn't be a big deal about getting the exact number of people coming,however my mom is having it at a banquet hall and she is paying about $30/person

    Give you mom or aunt the phone numbers. I'm sure they'll be fine with calling your friends. It's not like you're friends with Ted Kaczynski... right?

    You should not be chasing down RSVPs for your own shower.

    ETA: I was a little unclear... I don't mean that it's wrong/tacky/bad etiquette for you to call. I meant that you have people hosting a party for you and that's part of their job. If you have a few odd-duck friends (keep you on the phone forever, bad phone manners, etc) or if you were going to talk to any of them soon anyway maybe call those and let your mom and aunt call the rest.

    Eh, if it were me I'd just call my friends and find out.

    Agreed. This is the hosts' duties, not yours.

    I don't know why I even include RSVP on anything, because no one bothers.  I am sick of hunting down people for a yes or no, so I would have the hosts do it.  But I don't think it would be tacky or anything for you to do it.

    Maybe if you are talking to some of your friends anyway you would casually mention your shower coming up or something and maybe they will say "oh, yah, I meant to RSVP to that." My RSVP date is approaching and I know I was just randomly talking to friends/family and they just told me like that, even when I didn't mention it, so I just told my hosts. I don't think it's a big deal contacting your friends (maybe just a simple text would be easier?), if your mother/aunt don't want to call them. Most of my friends RSVPd to mine, so my hosts (my mother and aunt too) might have to track down some family members. Otherwise, I'm not sure we will worry about it too much, but I see how you might want more precise numbers at your party, though...
