RSVP....does anyone do this anymore?
| Thu, 09-25-2003 - 5:44pm |
Just curious! My friend is planning an event for the blood bank and another gave her advice. When you send out a huge number of personal invitations, count on getting 30% showing up and most not responding. (even when people know you need to get #'s to caterers, etc). And out of that 30% showing up, only 30% of that number will RSVP.
I've heard friends gripe about weddings and no RSVPs, parties, showers and no one responds, one friend had planned a dinner party for 8 and people changed plans etc and only one couple showed up.
Have manners changed? Did I grow up in a different era? Our party tonight, we sent out 80 invites, got 25 or so responses, and out of those...I'm getting lots of calls today and emails saying I'm sick, my back is out, something came up, can't make it...the day of.
I realize the 25 is about 30% of what we sent out, so my friend is right LOL...but hmmmmm oh well. Just sharing!!! Maybe just 10 of us at this rate :o).

I think one should always respond.
