annonymousParticipantTo black women: I love to entertain. I love having friends over for the holidays and informal gatherings. On several occassions, I have held get-togethers for women only. I’d like to think I’m the hostess’ hostess. I plan for weeks, cook great dishes, and usually there’s some kind of theme, etc. My dilemma: consistently, my black girlfriends are notorious for not giving an RSVP. Why is this? It is a bit frustrating trying to plan menus, table settings, etc. without some idea of the head count. My non-black friends are far more considerate, responding nay or yea in timely manner. They routinely also thank me for the invitation and request that I keep them in mind for the next affair I have. To those of you who do not respond, have you ever considered that not responding is inconsiderate?

M22272ParticipantI have two suggestions: 1. Rather than use the French RSVP, use ‘please reply’. 2. Offer a convenient means for the response, like a self addressed, stamped postcard with a place to note yes or no and a place to write the name of the respondent. Hope this helps you to get a better “head count” for your next affair.

Dan27374ParticipantRegarding anyone who doesn’t RSVP to an invitation: Turn them away at the door (if they’ve shown up). Except for the wedding SASE, Don’t go the extra mile for dinner invites. I think people kowtow to the inconsiderate nature of many humans. I say, ‘No timely RSVP, please stay home.’ Stick to your guns, no matter how tough it may be. In the long run, the RSVPs will be forthcoming – people will get your message.

BravoParticipantIt isn’t only inconsiderate but downright rude. Perhaps you’re not inviting the right ladies to your parties.
