The question I have are about the people who do not RSVP. My maid of honor is doing an awesome job and she sent me a list of the people who did respond, however I know of several who mentioned they were coming and did not RSVP to her. Should I contact those people and ask them to please let her know if they are attending? I know she is trying to get an accurate head count for everything. I just want to help her out, but I don't want to pester my friends and family. What do I do?

She can contact them and let them know that she needs to get an accurate count for the caterer. If they mentioned they were coming she can say that they did but she really needs to make sure. Give them a final date to respond and then go with the numbers at that point (keep in mind you should keep a few extra plates for the "just in case" guests who no matter what will not RSVP)
Let her know how great of a job she is doing and that you really appreciate it.
Unfortunately today there are lots of people who do not know etiquette.
But you shouldn't contact anyone unless you want to.

You should not call, but you might get a friend to put a buzz in their ears. Yes... it's very rude. People also do not RSVP when there is a seated dinner following a wedding. And some people even bring a friend or two !!! I think they do not realize how crucial it is when arranging for food and seating. Congratulations on your wedding!!!

The people who mentioned to you that they would be attending probably figure that they have fulfilled their RSVP requirement - so I would just let your MOH know who told you that they would be coming. Then, let her decide whether to call them along with the others that haven't responded yet.

Talk to your MOH about it and have her call these people who did not RSVP.
It's not pestering your friends and family. It's making sure you get an accurate head count for food/drinks and to make sure you have enough seating.
People are just plain rude when they don't RSVP.

If you're invited to a social gathering the host must pay for the meal/social gathering, however that does not imply that every person adheres to etiquette. There are the ones occasional contributors who're cheesy and can spring a invoice on you. are you aware a household member or the bride good adequate to invite and otherwise you might simply ask the waiter or hostess discretely as as to if or no longer the hostess is opting for up the verify?!

Casually mention to her the names of people who told you they'd be coming, and let her follow up with them. That way, you won't make her feel like you don't think she's capable of her maid-of-honor duties, and you'll get a more accurate head count.

Your maid of honor should be following up on the RSVPs.

If it's for the wedding shower, you really shouldn't be doing this. The person who is throwing the shower should call. She can ask someone to help her, but it should not be the bride. If she feels uncomfortable doing that then she should plan for extra guest.

Whoever is hosting the wedding makes the calls. Or your mom.
