if invitation card mention RSVP please and I forgot to reply, then should I go to that party?

Answer 1

You can RSVP even at the last minute, although etiquette requires that you should give the host advance notice. Most hosts plan for a few unexpected guests. You should, however, apologize and offer something (to bring a side dish, a gift of flowers, etc) to make up for your lack of courtesy.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, No. There are reasons they wanted you to R.S.V.P. For instance, figuring out how much food and drink to have. In fact, I would send a little note apologizing for forgetting to RSVP.. ON the other hand, many times the amount of people who do RSVP end up being less than anticipated. So a phone call saying sorry you forgot to respond and if they would like to still have you, maybe you can bring something or do something to help out. You may end up saving the day!

Answer 3

I agree with the phone call, as long as you are not putting them on the spot. Either admit that you are a dunderhead and forgot to RSVP or say that you thought you had a business/family conflict that just rescheduled. That way you are calling to aplogize for being uncourteous and your hostess has the option of inviting you anyway if there is room, since you have let her know that you are available.

Answer 4

Generally, people hosting a party will allow for those few who didn't respond with an RSVP. However, be kind and contact them to let them know it slipped your mind to RSVP and that you would indeed like to attend. They'll appreciate a late response much more than no response.

Answer 5

The purpose of an RSVP is to make the host aware that you would like to attend, that way s/he can plan on having enough of everything for all the guests - or if it's pot-luck, s/he can make sure that all the "courses" get covered (as it were).
So, no - if you did not respond, you should not attend. But if you feel you must be there, give your host/ess a call and see if they can fit in "just one more." Especially if it's a friend....

Answer 6

usual RSVP do no longer require a separate card purely RSVP on the backside of the invite alongside with the telephone huge style to whom the responses are to circulate to. respond taking part in cards are reserved for extra formal gatherings alongside with a marriage reception. Your invitation ought to mirror the sea coast topic and be conscious that that's a sleepover, then your RSVP line.

Answer 7

Nope. That is what the RSVP is all about - planning. However, if it is a good friend you could call them and tell them how you forgot and see if a verbal inviation is re-extended. If it isn't you cannot be upset you just have to remember to RSVP inthe future - it is nice to even let the host/hostess know if you DON"T plan on attneding.

Answer 8

Hum...that is a hard one.
If it is formal, the RSVP is essential because food will be catered and the host's Have to know who will be attending.
Not formal, and you are very friendly with the host you could call and ask if would not be inconvenient you would like to attend. But even that kind of puts the host on the spot, because no one would want to refuse.

Answer 9

Generally speaking, probably not--especially if this is a fancy do where they may be paying per person. If it is extremely informal and you are good friends with the host, calling the host might be more appropriate.

In any case, it would be a good idea to call the host after the party and apologize, though, just so they know that it wasn't an intentional slight on your part.

Answer 10

That could be a little shaky....

It all depends on what kind of party it is. At my brother's wedding reception, people came that didn't RSVP.....and i don't think that even got invitations(they went to highschool with my brother)....but it didn't mess up the amount of food ....because people that RSVP'd didn't show up.....

if they honestly need a head count...it could mess things up, you'll be there and not get a meal perhaps......
