RSVP

Four little letters that cause so many headaches. RSVP, French for Respondez Sil-Vous Plait, respond if you please. It's a very polite statement but no one likes to do it.

When I send invitations, I give 2 options, call or email. There's always people that can't do either. Did I mention it's for kids birthday parties? C'mon, people, you're coming or you're not.

My kids are getting older and I am teaching them to respond themselves. I'll have them call their friend and say that they are coming or not. I don't have them tell their friend at school so I know the parents will know.

It's basic common courtesy here. If someone goes out of their way to invite you to something, atleast tell them you're coming or you're not. Let's start the trend. It's cool to RSVP.
