Unbelievable!!! Once you've planned a wedding, you'll never fail to RSVP to anything again.

I've had the same problem and it drives me nuts. WTH do people think RSVP stands for anyway?

Peppermint Patty (from ''Peanuts'' once said it stood for ''Revised Standard Version Please.'' LOL! --susie

Miss Manners would be very disappointed in these people; however, I am glad you had a fun time.

You are preaching to the choir!! It is especially difficult when you are on a budget and trying to plan gift bags and food, etc!

For the first time ever I didn't do gift bags just because of this. The not RSVPing has gotten so bad, you already expect it. Add the summer vacation element.....who is here? Who is not? Who just got to their mail yesterday. I decided to blow it off because there was no way of knowing wether to buy 20 or 50 things. -cook

That totally IRKS me no end! I don't think people these days know what RSVP means! I'm glad you had a good time. But it IS hard to stretch food and drink for 15 into 45...what did you do? My suggestion is to write on the invitation please call us to let us know whether or not you will be able to join us. At least you've spelled it out for them and it seems to work better for me...

Once we realized what was going on, my husband made an emergency run to the store (it was off site too) for more of everything! -cook
