If there is RSVP on the invite then YES I will.

I always RSVP to parties in which I receive a direct invitation whether I can attent or not. However, if it's just a general flier placed in mailboxes or a notice in a bulletin, I would call only if I planned to attend, which is what I assume is meant by RSVP in that case. I mean seriously, who wants 200+ strangers calling to say they don't plan to attend?

 

[Kahana-ri]

Always
I would expect people to do the same if I was hosting something.

For the last few years of birthday parties etc., I've just been putting "please call if you are coming" and leaving directions off the invitation. I figure I'm pretty safe that people won't show up without calling then. It's not 100%, but it helps.

 

[PaulaSue]

I do. I hate when people don't pay you that respect.

If I get a direct invite, I always RSVP whether I am able to go to the event or not. If it was more of an announcement in a church bulletin, I'd only RSVP if I was planning to attend.

 

[Liberty Belle]

Yes, I do.

I invited all of DS3's class to his birthday party on Sunday (at a local fun place). One person has responded. I gave them two options in the invitation - phone and email. It's really making me angry because I don't know how many toys to buy for the goodie bags. I just don't understand why people don't RSVP.

I have to agree with Cool Beans. I just don't consider sales parties (even if they are a fundraiser) the same as a social event.

I would probably not RSVP in hopes of getting myself off that person's sales list.

I also agree. I would never consider not RSVP'ing to a social party, but when people I barely know start inviting me to home parties and I know it's just to sell more stuff, then I'm not as conscientious about it.

My neighbor started selling Arbonne a few months ago. I attended the first party because I thought it would be a good way to get to know the neighbors since we had recently moved. About a month later, I got another invitation. I RSVP'd to that one that I would not be attending. By the time I got the flyer in the mail for the fourth party in about 6 months, I figured I was past the time that I was obligated to respond, given the fact that the only time she's bothered to talk to me is to invite me to one of her sales parties!

I RSVP to real parties. Like some of the pps, I don't RSVP to sales events.

 

[famofsix]

I try my best to RSVP but sometimes life gets in the way and I get a tupperware party, candle lite, pampered chef, Jewery party, Tastefully Simple in the same week around the holidays. I have told my friends to please leave off the list but they never listen to me
I wish more people would do regrets only RSVP.

I am more attentive to weddings, showers and birthday parties tho' RSVP's

 

[kaysmommie]

I always RSVP.

 

[SeeDisney]

If I wasn't planning on going to the party, I WOULD NOT RSVP. Being honest here.

 

[ducklite]

If I received a direct invite, I would RSVP either way. The one in the bulletin I might not, unless it specifically said to RSVP if you plan to attend.

Same with me. If it's an indirect invite with no RSVP requested, I'll put it in my book in pencil, but may or may not go. I do'nt RSVP so I do'nt feel commited.
