If you sent out invites, three weeks early, to some friends to meet up for a day and go out and then have dinner, wouldn't you like to hear an answer from them BEFORE the date in question?

if you had R.S.V.P. on the invitations,
they should have the courtesy to let
you know one way or the other.
no R.S.V.P., you should not expect
an answer, but one should be given
anyway to give you the heads up
or head count as it were.



:thumbsup:

How you invited people shouldn't matter. We are all adults and we all should have the smarts to RVSP without being told, and as well if you are going to commit to an event; be mature enough to show up. It takes a couple seconds to mark it in a calendar; so there is no excuse that you forgot. I think people are just plain rude and there is no excuse for this. :angry:


:thumbsup: I agree...if it's a personal invite, then the person should respond. I don't invite people I don't know to any partY I have. They are all friends and family. Out of 48 I got back about 10 answers whoa

Yeah, I am the same way when it comes to inviting people over; its a personal one not a mass one. A simple yes or no shouldn't be that hard. I am lucky to have the friends that I have and we always respond to each other's invites even if it is to say no.:thumbsup:

WOW! You got 10?!

I think that is pretty good these days!

I'm not sure why but somehow people do seem to have become less
concerned in general about etiquette and proper invitation responses
over the years. I have just learned to go with it and generally
call or email everyone a few days prior to the event to try to
get a better idea but it is almost as if people don't want to say
they can't attend even if it looks like there is a conflict so
they don't say anything! Others who are planning to attend seem to
wait to the last minute because they think their car might die.

They're the clueless social misfits. Why are so many like that?!
Probably their brains are infected by aliens.
