Remind your host that not everyone checks their email regularly. If they do an e-vite and don't hear from that person, they need to call.
 
I leave them open for 2 weeks and have the host send the first e-mail immediately, a second one to anyone who hasn't ordered 5 days later, and then our websites automatically send one out 2 days prior. I just closed one and she got 2 orders from the first round of e-mails and 5 from the second round. Sometimes people will forget and then it moves down in their inboxes so they need to be reminded. Hope that helps!

That seems like a great system!! Thanks for the advice!
