RSVP

I cannot stress this enough, do not forget to RSVP, particularly for my wedding. ツ Whenever an invitation is sent out, the words "RSVP" usually printed at the bottom of the invitation cards. It means that you have to call up the host to tell him or her that you are attending the affair. If you do not call up, that means that you are not going. The very purpose behind RSVP to give the host an idea of how many plates of food he must order, of how many bottles of wine and champagne he must prepare, of how much budget he must raise. Unfortunately, there are far too many people who do not give a hoot to RSVP. They simply show up, or do not show up at all, without responding beforehand, pity the poor host! Next time you receive an invitation, look at the words RSVP. Then, take a little time to decide whether to pick up the phone or not to make any call at all. And then, put yourself in place of the host. If you yourself were hosting the affair, would you not want to know how many people would be attending -- so that you could prepare the name-tags, put the proper order to the caterer, and do everything necessary with the minimum waste. Remember, the best attitude is gratitiude! That said, our wedding invitation shall be ready at your door-step by next month.♥
