RSVP'ing...Etiquette

Ok I know everyone is different. But when it comes to rsvp'ing to a party I like to rsvp on time by the rsvp date.

ok here is the situation. we recently had my SIL's shower (my brother's wife) and when we were planning the shower I handled the rsvp part. One of my cousins never bother to rsvp, my mom and I ended up calling some people a few days before the shower. So now this same cousin is throwing a sweet 16 for her daughter and I have not rsvp'd on purpose and the other day when my brother rsvp'd they were asking him if I was going cuz I haven't rsvp'd and they need to know if I coming cuz they need a head count.

The reason I didn't rsvp on purpose is because she didn't have the same courtesy to do the same with us. I don't know maybe it's just me but that's rude...

I want them to know how it feels to have your own medicine thrown in your face...

I agree that that was very rude. I would have done the exact same thing. In fact I plan to send the rsvp to DH's cousin's wedding very late... same thing they did to us.

I think its very rude- and you have every righ to be pi$$ed off at their behavior, but I still don't want to be known as someone who RSVP's late- I would send it on time.

IMO, based on this circumstance just because someone is rude to you, doesn't mean that you need to be rude.

ETA: I might make a comment to them- that I wanted to make sure that they received it on time. It is SO RUDE when people don't RSVP.

I respond in the same fashion that I receive replies when I am a host.

I too hate it when people don't RSVP. Having said that, I always respond early or on-time. I treat others the way I would like to be treated.

Re: RSVP'ing...Etiquette

I would have hand delivered the RSVP and then gloated at my prompt and courteous response!! That would have made them feel really stupid!! Chat Icon Chat Icon

I know two wrongs don't make a right but dammit i'm ****** at them. Sometimes it just makes me so mad how I always make to do the right thing by others and they don't have the same courtesy to do the same.Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

I agree.

ETA: Bedda- you have every right to be pi$$ed. I would be to. And you have every right to respond the way you want. Its very reasonable to want to give them a taste of their own medicine. Its just not how I would do it- that's all. We are all different people with different responses. This is not something that deserves that much attention for me. ITs easier for me just to send it when I think about it, then to send it late on purpose. There are other things however, where i definitely subscribe to "an eye for an eye"- this just isn't one of them. But that's just me...

I dont think its rude at all! Im having a housewarming party over the weekend. Just got a phone call from a cousin...2 days later. Still waiting to hear from relatives. What gets me is, My one cousin gave my mom such a hard time when she was a day late rsvping for a party! Im not calling them. Not wasting my time.
You are not being rude @ all!

I would be mad they didnt rsvp but I don't think it's right to not rsvp and would never choose not to just to make a point. But I would wait until the very last minute of the deadline date to do so Chat Icon
