- Origin of RSVP
- French répondez s'il vous plaît
which translated means please respond.
What has happened to society that people no longer to feel the need to RSVP to something when it clearly states to please do so? We don't put that 4 letter abbreviation on invitations just for the fun of it. Is it really that hard to call someone and say yes, no, or maybe? Because, if you can't make it, I am not going to expect a reason and my feelings won't be hurt. What hurts is when people act as if you never invited them to something. Even if you call and say maybe, that would be a heck of a lot nicer and considerate than just completely ignoring the invite all together. So from now on, the next time I have a party and you don't RSVP in some way, then I will assume you will not be there. So don't be surprised when their might not be enough food, games, favors for you and yours. I will no longer be calling people to see if they are coming either, because that makes me feel like pain in the ass. Okay, griping is over. ☺ Oh, and have a great weekend!

Im right there with ya...it makes it MISERABLE trying to plan how much food, etc. People need to decide right when they get the invitation if they're coming or not, and RSVP right then. Don't wait until the last minute to see if you'll have something better to do instead. @@
