She called me and said "there was a mistake with my address" and it's on the 30th of September.

The RSVP date was the past 16th, and I am clearly listed in more than one phone book, plus she has my email to ask me if she had my correct address.
She must have gotten back some No's and needed replacements.
That's why you send invites out early!!! or maybe put a different RSVP card or even cut off the top of the RSVP date thingy!

Why not if you want to go then go who cares and who will really know.

Oh, you're saying because you received the invitation after the RSVP date, you weren't among the first to be invited.
Hmmm. Talk to the host/hostess. Perhaps there was an innocent mix-up. Happened to me when I got married. My mom told me I could cut a certain friend of hers from the list because we were trying to cut back. She later said she didn't tell me to do that so I sent out the invitation right away but it was past the RSVP date. My mom called her to let her know there was confusion.
If it bothers you, just give them a call and gracefully comment that you just got the invitation past the RSVP date and weren't sure what that meant. If the host/ess is a decent person they'll tell you the truth. If not, decide whether you want to go. And if you are expected to bring a gift, I'd probably decline the invitation.
If you're not an A list guest, they don't deserve a gift!
Although Ann Landers or Emily Post would probably say just be the more mature person. Gracefully accept the invitation and wear a smile. I say forget that though. ;)

RSVP, is what I am assuming your asking about. Perhaps they didn't have your address or there was a mix up. It's really a question if you want to go or not. If you feel that you have been B listed and are only there to fill a seat because they already paid for sooo many people. Then call them up and say, sorry I got this after the RSVP date and I already had plans!
I think your already know how you feel about these people. If it sounds like fun, then go for it. But if you feel betrayed or offend then skip it.

The RSVP has past and you are on the "B" list?
Definately respond, but should you go? Depends on what kind of event it is, how close you are to the person, and if you know what's going on.
A situation that might help you make up your mind: I got an invitation to a friend's wedding about a month ago. She just emailed me to ask for my parents' address to send them one too, now that she knows what her guest list looks like. I personally was a bit offended for my parents and found it to be EXTREMELY tacky, but my Mom said that she was still sending it within a reasonable timeframe. (6 weeks before the wedding)

is there a number you can contact the person at. Do that before you show up. Even though the RSVP date has expired.

Yes, absolutely go. No way to make the A list but to see and be seen! Network, network, network! If you want to climb up the social ladder, you have to take the first steps!

Call and tell them you just got it - you have no idea what happened it could be the post office's fault! Don't assume that you are a B lister - ASSUME you are an A lister!

Do you want to? It could have gotten lost in the mail.
