RSVP mean "respond please." They're supposed to let you know yes I'm coming or no I'm not coming. It's not just for yes only or no only... they have to tell you either way.
These people who did not bother to RSVP are not friends because friends don't leave friends hanging like that. Scratch them off your invite list.
Next time you have a party, allow plenty of time for people to respond. Include a "by date" like this: please respond by May 21st to (601) 555-6547 or MyParty@MyISP.com. If people have not responded by May 22, then you call them and say you're finalizing your guest list and need to know if they're coming or not. If they can't tell you if they are coming or not when you call then, then tell them that you'll invite them some other time.

Unfortunately, people do not take it seriously. They almost view it as a suggestion instead of something they need to do. I always assume that if they did not RSVP, they are not coming. However, if it is a big event like a wedding, I will allow for an additional 5 places (assuming that aunt and my three cousins will show for the food and forget to RSVP LOL)

People do tend not to answer RSVPs. Maybe they put it off so long that they just forget about it. The most helpful thing I've found is to call them a day or two before the planned event, to see if they're coming.
The fact that no one came to your home party makes me think that they didn't really want to come.

Some people are rude and inconsiderate. On some invitations, RSVP means to call if you ARE coming. Others, just want to know if someon'e NOT coming. Next time, be sure to indicate what you would like for them to do.

carry out a little human beings alongside with close kin no longer sense the ought to RSVP by using fact they think of their presence is expected? -- particular. My parents did no longer RSVP. They discern which you would be talking to them and recognize that they are coming. Do a brilliant style of persons wait until the final minute to RSVP? -- particular. I have been given RSVP's after the cut-off date. and a few human beings saved putting it off and not in any respect advised me one way or the different. some days until now the cut-off date, have your parents, close pals, gently remind the non-responders that the cut-off date is bobbing up. as quickly as your RSVP cut-off date rolls around, start up calling anybody who hasn't RSVP'd. carry out a little human beings no longer RSVP then ensue to an journey unpredicted? -- particular, notwithstanding i've got not had any very own journey with this. i discover that it extremely is extra basic that folk who RSVP'd do no longer instruct than that folk who did no longer RSVP ensue. particular, in all probability the undeniable fact which you probably did no longer contain taking part in cards is making human beings much less probably to respond. it extremely is lots harder for persons to take a seat and write an digital mail or discover a competent time to call than to drop a card in the mailbox. that would ingredient heavily into no count if human beings RSVP on time. i might basically make constructive that the day or 2 after your cut-off date is thoroughly loose because you are going to ought to make a brilliant style of telephone calls.

They are rude and inconsiderate. If you can take the time to plan such an event and then to include them, they should welcome your kind invitation.
Another term: fair-weather friends. You might like to think about that.
I would be upset if I was treated like that, but it might be a wake-up call. In other words, don't waste any more time on them if they are like that. And do not take it personally. It is not your fault that there are creeps around. You did nothing wrong, so don't be hard on yourself and wonder if something is wrong with you, because that is not true. Just accept it as another step along the pathway of Life and you will be OK.

just remember that if you have another party - they are the ones that are rude and don't care enough to let you know. RSVP is to respond whether you are coming or not, period.

People forget or are just rude. When I had my daughters 6th birthday we invited all the kids in her class, I had one person call and say they were coming. Luckily I counted on more showing up because the whole class showed up.

If they didn't respond to your request to "rsvp" then they are not coming.
