I hadn't received all the wedding invitation responses back so I called those who hadn't sent them in. Most of the people who did not RSVP aren't attending. One person/couple told me they are coming but haven't decided if one or both are coming nor have they decided what they are having for dinner. I tried to tell her that I need this information but she doesn't seem in a hurry to get back to me. How do I handle this? I have to give final count to the Inn next week.
This site has been so helpful in all my questions, thank you in advance.

If you have not heard anything firm from this person by the time you have to turn in your head count. Call one more time and explain that there will be no meal or place set for them unless you know right now. Every wedding has at least one like this and if they show after not accepting; the caterer will most likely be prepared with enough to make up the food plates...it may not be the guests choice but they'll have food. Plus it is always possible to squeeze in one or two more people at a table. What this guest has done is a rude and inconsiderate way to treat you and guests just don't think of the domino effect their rudeness creates.

I followed your advise and asked the person who hasn't responded about whether or not they would be attending the wedding. She said she would fill out the response card and drop it at my house the following morning but she didn't. Should I just call her and tell her that I'm sorry she decided that they won't be able to make the wedding and consider her not response as declining?

You could just call her and ask her. She really doesn't need to send the card. If she isn't clear about her meal choices, you could say that you will have to order for them and they won't have a choice. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
