Saw this on an invitation site and thought i would share since everyone is having trouble with thier guests under standing...
12 Things RSVP does not Mean:
1.Reply if you want to
2.Reply if you feel like it
3.Reply when you get around to it
4.Refreshments Served Very Promptly
5.Wait to see if something better comes up for that date and time
6.Throw the invitation in a pile and forget about it.
7.Respond only if you're not coming
8.Respond the day of the party
9.Respond and then fail to show up
10."Maybe" is not an acceptable reply
11.I'm family so of course I'm coming, why should I respond?
12.And it most certainly does not mean show up with extra guests
