Really, Why Can’t You RSVP?

I really do not get why guests cannot do the one simple task that is asked of them when they are invited to a wedding or social event, which is to RSVP for the event.

If you do not know what it means to RSVP or why it is so important, then please read the three-part series I blogged about couple of years ago.

• Etiquette :: Part I – répondez s’il vous plait
• Etiquette :: Part II – répondez s’il vous plait

The third part to this series explained a couple of “do nots” when you reply to an invitation that are faced by many hosts.

• Etiquette :: Part III – répondez s’il vous plait

Have you been invited to an event recently or in the past and did not RSVP? If so, please feel free to tell us “why not?”

Or, if you have hosted a party, please share your experience (or frustration) with guests failing to RSVP?
