Would you reach out to ppl who don’t open evite

[Anonymous]

I don’t know if our invitation is stuck in the spam folder or they are one of those people who have thousands of unread emails and missed our invitation. Is it worth a text or personalized email?

What do you do with guests who never opened your Evite?

[Anonymous]

i would if i knew them reasonably well.

I’ve had Evites go to a wrong email address (same name, different gmail) and so I’d say yes. Or at least double check your invite list.

[Anonymous]

Yes! Mine often go to my spam folder. I generally have to ask the host to send me the link via text

If they are people I actually like and want them to attend, I do (and have). If they are my nosey neighbor who monitors my recycling bins and joking-not-joking asks about the invite they think they missed... yeah, no.

At the same time, I've been reamed out by a parent for not responding to a kids' party invite -- when they were the ones who screwed up my email address and misdirected it. So make sure you double-check your guest list before getting worried (or huffy) about a lack of response.

In my circles, the host reaches out before or after sending the invite, and invites get sent 3 to 4 weeks in advance. Yes, I would reach out to ppl who did not open evite.

Yes, a quick text saying “hope you can make it to xx party” is not intrusive. Once, I missed an evite to a party that some friends mentioned, and I assumed that I hadn’t been invited, which wasn’t a big deal. The host texted to ask if I was coming and I was very glad she did. I would have been oblivious to being rude and not rsvp’ing if she hadn’t said anything. Not to mention, missing the party!

In my neck of the woods, we all use paperless post, not evite, because it ends up in spam much less frequently.

I usually send an email reminder, but I’ll just text the parent directly if I’m friendly with them.

Similar story to others, but once I accidentally changed my evite settings so I didn’t receive any emails. I ran into a mom at school who asked if we could make it. Another time I missed a baby shower because my paperless post emails were being filtered into some random folder.

No. If they don't respond by your TDVP date then they aren't attending.

Please god yes. I am always missing evites.

[Anonymous]

Yes, please do! I got a group email from a mom once with further directions for a party the next day, but my kid hadn't received an invitation. When I reached out to her to ask about the party (awkward!), she realized she'd had a typo in my email address on the evite. She said she was wondering why I never opened it.

Evite is the worst for going to my spam folder. If someone doesn't open the invitation, I assume that the same thing happened to them and follow up with a direct email or text.

[Anonymous]

Absolutely, unless you’re looking for an excuse for them not to come, of course.

[Anonymous]

If they didn’t open it, yes absolutely! If they did open it, I’d probably check in close to the date if I wanted them there or if it was small. Likely they just forgot.

[Anonymous]

Yes- if you can see that it has not been opened def reach out. Evites always go to spam . I actually have now chosen the option to send them via text instead. Much easier and people respond more frequently.
