Invite question

kimsande · May 2011

I am working on my DD's invites for her first birthday. Is it rude to ask people to rsvp? should I exclude it all together? do regrets only? TIA

I don't think it's rude to rsvp, all the invites i've had, had it.....esp. if you're providing a meal, you need to know how much to make/buy....

we're just doing family, so we're so small, i don't even do invites

I think RSVP is perfectly acceptable. This way you can plan accordingly with food, cake, drinks, etc.

RSVP!!! For sure. I hate doing regrets only because people who won't attend still won't call you back. I'd rather have a solid yes or no so I can get a better head count. I have found that putting your phone number and email address for RSVP's seems to get more results. Some people have a "thing" about calling to RSVP and feel more comfortable emailing.

Not rude at all. People would think you suck if you didn't have enough food or beverage. So it's best to have a plan in place, and knowing how many people is a big part of that.

Exactly! I don't think it's rude at all.

Why would that be rude? It's pretty standard that if you send out an invitation, there is an expectation that they need to respond. It's up to you if you want everyone to respond or do regrets only.

It is not rude.

I prefer regrets only and I include an e-mail address as well as a phone number.

Its not rude at all! I had regrets only on DD's bc I knew there'd be more people saying yes than no & it was just easier that way for me

definitely put an email address. I hate when there is more than one host listed and one phone number and you have no idea who you're calling. BUT assuming you're inviting family and friends, that probably isn't an issue, I think that's probably more of a shower thing when the host doesn't necessarily know all the guests. I assume you are the host and know everyone Stick out tongue
