One month from today my daughter is getting married. Today is the last day to RSVP to the invitation. And we have been burning up the air waves to contact people to see if they're coming or not.
Many of us receive formal invitations in the mail to attend weddings, formal celebrations, banquets, galas, etc. However, when we receive the invitation do we really pay close attention to whom the invitation is addressed and all of the fine points? (Is there a Plus 1, last date to respond, type of dress...formal, cocktail, casual, food choice). People need to slow down and pay close attention to the particulars of this special delivery. Proper etiquette leads to formal respect and much less stress for the hosts.
It is a social obligation to accept or decline an invitation. Regardless if you're attending or not, responding is easy to do and and it's courteous. The people who are organizing are very appreciative with the response.
I got on my soap box and now I'm off.

Now on to table assignments and place cards.
It is easiest to respond immediately, handle it once was the principal I was taught. Expect a few last minute additions.
