RSVPs - a pet peeve
Disclaimer: This is regarding all events besides actual wedding ceremonies/receptions (but including wedding showers/bach parties/etc):
So maybe I'm in the minority on this - but I HATE when I get invitations that say "RSVP - Regrets only" because:
1. It is presumptuous that I would want to attend
2. It means that if I cannot attend, then I have to make sure I remember to reply.... and if I forget (which I often do), then I feel bad later when I refind the invite buried in mail or tucked away hidden under the other magneted items on the fridge, that someone assumed I was coming and bought food for me!
Isnt easier just to have RSVPs for people who ARE attending? and not to worry about people who arent attending
Re: RSVPs - a pet peeve
My family has always done regrets only invites. I always thought it was easier because then less people had to worry about calling to RSVP.. I always forget to call..
BUT.. I learned with Eve's b-day party that it really wasn't the best way to do things (I literally realized like 2 minutes after i dropped the invites in the mail).. I had no way of really knowing how many were coming, especially since I invited a lot of whole fams.. so I didn't know who was coming from each group and I had to get in contact with everyone to verify.
And like you said, there were some people who didn't respond and then didn't show..
So.. I think I'll change my ways.

It almost seems like you can't win when you are the person sending out the invites... (this is not directed at you!) - I have done so many parties over the past 3 years for the kids and whatnot, and people are horrible at RSVPing! They either don't RSVP, or they assume that I assume they are coming, or they assume it is regrets only. I am not a fan of regrets only but maybe it was something that stemmed from prior frustrations?
When I send out invites I feel like it is so tough, I can never win.. I always end up contacting most of the people anyway because I have no idea what is going on. Not to go on a tangent but I thought more people were coming to my DD's party in March than showed up, so I bought a $65 bday cake and a whole bunch of people ended up cancelling..grr!
