Yes, it's common courtesy. How is the host supposed to plan if she/he doesn't know how many guests are coming?

 

[CEDmom]

If I get a direct invitation I RSVP whether I'm going or not. If something is posted at work/church etc I'll only RSVP if I'm going. Good luck.

 

[CheshireVal]

I only RSVP when it's requested (which it is most of the time).

 

[disneymama73]

I always RSVP.

 

[Breezy_Carol]

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.

 

[DAISY DUCK FAN!]

ABSOLUTELY!!!

Unless it says "Regrets Only" and I plan on attending.

 

[frndofpooh]

Always!

 

[Cool-Beans]

I always RSVP to social invites. A "party" in which I have to listen to a sales pitch and am handed an order form does not count as social to me, but business. If I don't know the person well, I don't RSVP.

 

[Stitchfans]

Yes, I ALWAYS do. Makes me so angry cause most people don't.

This is usually how I do it.

 

[Hedy]

I try to always RSVP.

 

[EthansMom]

This is also what I do.

When I'm hostessing an event and haven't received RSVPs, I will call all of the invitees and politely ask them if they'll be able to attend so that I can have a head count. In many cases, people have simply forgotten about the invitation.

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.

 

[PixiePop]

Yes!!!!

 

[Pop Daddy]

Its safe to assume Im not comming

 

[Mad4Mickey]

I do , it is rude not to . But everytime I have a gathering I have to call and check up on people . I dont want to be short on food or not plan for enough .

 

[NAB]

I do. I hate when I am giving a party and people don't call or wait until an hour before to tell me. Kids birthday parties are the worse for that. Not fair to the people throwing the party.

I usually do. But, I'll tell you, as a former PC consultant and someone that hosts those type parties often, most people do not RSVP for them. Its usually best to call all of the people you invited and remind them and ask if they are coming.

Same here.
