I'm back. And on my soap box.
Let's talk about the lost gesture of RSVP.
Freaking do it, people! It is so frustrating to plan, prepare and expect guests when you have no stinkin' clue how many are coming. I understand this concept much better and appreciate the consistent RSVP'er now that I have planed my own wedding and thrown events for others. It's simple - 5 minutes. Make a phone call. Or I gave you my email to make this less confrontational to respond to a stranger. I recenty sent out invitations to an upcoming event - 10% response. Really?!
And let's be honest, this could be a rant criticizing lack of all etiquette. Where has it gone? The thoughtfulness of a hand written thank you or homemade soup when you're sick. The southern gentleman appears to be the only chivalry that remains. Thank the good Lord for the man that remembers his manners, opens the door, pays for dinner and knows the phrase "yes ma'am".
