![]() ![]() RSVP is not “demanding” an answer, it’s politely requesting an answer. Having effectively vented my frustration in society’s lack of common courtesy, I will try to calm you by suggesting you don’t get stressed if your guests haven’t responded. Sometimes guests would rather not respond if they feel awkward that they can’t attend. We can’t assume everyone not only understands the real meaning of RSVP, or has manners. Save yourself aggravation, and simply put, “Please phone or email no later than June 1st (your RSVP date) and let us know if you will be attending”. But, I am not sure too many would understand the blunder of the double “please’s” if they can’t even figure out what RSVP truly is intended for. It also doesn’t help if you put PLEASE RSVP, as you are essentially saying “please please respond”. However, some might argue that many people truly do not know if it means, RESPOND if you can attend. ![]() It is commonly known that RSVP effectively means, please let us know if you can attend. Does anyone know what RSVP means anymore?Īccording to the dictionary - Respondez Sil’ Vous Plait-is French for PLEASE respond. You even begin have nightmares about the day of your wedding and walking out to a beach full of empty chairs. Days turn into weeks, weeks turn into months, and you start to panic as the RSVP date has now passed by and only a few guests have even replied.

You have sent out Save the Dates and are eager to hear who can make it to your fabulous destination wedding. Some amazing Save the Dates and Wedding Invitations: ![]()
