I'm not sure about the etiquette, but I wouldn't mind doing this, except that I don't know most of the guests, so I don't have their phone numbers. At this point, I wouldn't want to ask my friend for the numbers because I figure that she'd have to track many of them down (many of the guests are relatives, friends of the mothers, etc.) and it would be a hassle. Also, by the time she got them to me it would probably be too late to really follow up, anyway.
I am so bad about rsvp'ing promptly, although I do rsvp (earlier than this)! I vow to be more prompt about it in the future! Never thought about the stress that it can cause to a hostess trying to figure out how many plates/forks/foods that she needs.
