RSVP question (I feel like I'm on The Knot again)
Say you receive a baby shower invitation that says this at the bottom:
"RSVP to [Host's Name] at (555)-555-5555 or host@hotmail.com by April 25th."
You plan to attend. Do you call or email this person to let her know you're coming? Or do you assume "RSVP" means "Regrets Only?" (Even though the invitation clearly doesn't say Regrets Only, it says RSVP.) Most people understand RSVP'ing when it comes to weddings, but I feel as though there's some confusion when it comes to more informal events.
My shower hosts told me so far they've only heard from people who *aren't* coming
even though everyone invited has had the invitation for almost two
weeks. Two of my friends have told ME they're coming, so I assume they
felt they didn't need to tell my hosts. I realize some people might be
waiting til the last minute to RSVP, but there's an email address on the
invite, you'd think most people could drop a simple email within two
weeks. I feel bad that my hosts are stressing that they won't hear from everyone in the next 6 days...
Re: RSVP question (I feel like I'm on The Knot again)
When I see "RSVP", I call or email right away usually.
Do these people not know the difference between RSVP and Regrets Only?
:Blog:
When I read RSVP, I assume that means I need to respond either way, no matter how informal the occasion. Who knows what people are thinking though. In my experience, most people are pretty inconsiderate when it comes to responding to invitations!
GL!

Ditto pp, I see RSVP as reply either way, and I feel like that is the norm.
And thanks for reminding me to RSVP to a baby shower (the deadline is not until next week, I swear!)
To me it means call if you ARE coming. But, I know that a lot of people tend to ignore that ettiquette and show up anyway.
Also, if you're registry stalking, I found that the majority of my guests didn't buy anything until the night before the shower.
