Heloise readers are RSV-peeved!
Dear Readers: Sound Off is about not sending back an RSVP. — Heloise
“Dear Heloise: I recently had a wedding, for which we sent out the invitations four weeks ahead, along with RSVP cards. Sixty-four people said they were coming, but 88 showed up. We sent the RSVP cards because we were having a sit-down dinner for the number who RSVP-ed! We had an evening wedding, which did not include children, and some brought small children and infants.
“Have we, as a society, lost our manners? When an RSVP is included in an invitation, you need to reply as soon as possible. If someone’s name is not on the inner envelope of a invitation, then that person is not invited, and that includes children.” — Mary Ann and Dave K., Washington, D.C.
