I think that people are lazy and don't know that it is very bad manners not to reply to an RSVP and then show up. Some people in this day and age just not aware or just don't care. If someone shows up for an RSVP affair and expects you to put them up for a night or two, just say that you are sorry but they didn't tell you they were coming and that you don't have the room . Next time they will respond.

It is to encourage serious involvement, as opposed to frivolous chatting and spamming. (Problems that have grown exponentially.)\n\nAt 1,000,000 points, you get to go on a dream date with the Yahoo! Answers Community Guidelines person of your choice.

RSVP is an abbreviation for the French phrase "Respondez S'il Vous Plait." In English, RSVP stands for "Reply Please!"\n\nIf you have received an invitation that includes an RSVP notation, you are being asked to respond and let your hosts know whether or not you are able to attend the event.\n\nIf you are sending an invitation with an RSVP notation, you are asking your guests to "Respond Please" so that you can plan appropriately.

They seem to have put Beta into the mail service name permanently :) while there has been a lot of speculation about when this will be removed, there seems to be no end to it. \nNo one knows for sure .\n\nHowever, that should not stop someone from getting an account invite. They have allowed every user to invite 100 ppl onto gmail, so the invites are freely available. \n\nThey seem to be adding a lot of features into it regularly like auto-responder, multiple language support, RSS etc.

You are so right...this is a real pet peeve of mind too.  I think it just boils down to we have to begin to reeducate people.  \n\nLike RSVP generally means you respond whether your coming or whether you're not, but people now a days just think it means "respond if you're going to make it, ignore if you're not coming".  \n\nAnd thank you notes.  Well I do get thank you notes, and like to write them.  I think the best way to get them is to write them. We have to set the example in our circle of friends.  \n\nSame thing with Christmas cards.\n\nAnd we have got to teach our kids manners too.  I know my 17 year old neice will write a thank you note for every little thing she gets.  I'm so proud of that girl.  She gets better gifts and more cash than her two older siblings who have never written a thank you note in their lives.

C'est avec plaisir que j'accepte\nComptez sur moi pour cette fête\n\nIt's with pleasure that I accept, count on me to celebrate. \n\nHope it helps.\n\nPS: just correcting the spelling in the answer below in case you choose it:\n\nJ'aimerais vous voir à l'heure indiquée,\nMerci beaucoup de m'avoir invité.\n\n(invitée if you're a girl)

Is this an invitation or do you want information.  You must know.

You're Welcome means: You are welcome to .... For example, if I say, "Thank you for inviting me to your home!" You would properly respond, "Yes, and you are welcome to visit again!" It is more than just an acknowledgment, but in common practice it has been shortened simply to You're Welcome. At one time it was a good tool to show the person who thanked you that you were indeed listening to what they were saying, and care enough to respond to them in kind.\n----\nThank you for this well asked question!\nand, You are always welcome to ask questions of me! (see how that's also a compliment? It's a good tool for being extra polite!)

RSVP stands for Responde S'il Vous Plait in French, which means "respond if you please." So you are politely being asked to reply, whether you are going or not.

I would send out the invites, but you probably wont' be as much RSVP's as you would like sinces its such short notice.  I would just send them out and hope for the best.  Remember even the first set you sent out, a lot of people are going to come who didn't RSVP so be prepared for that.

You hand write a short note on plain stationary. It's format and wording should be very similar to that of the invitation.\n\nMr & Mrs John Doe\n\nWill be pleased to attend the marriage of \n\nMiss Blushing Bride\n\nand\n\nMr Charming Groom\n\nand the following reception\n\non Saturday the First of April.\n\nIf the wedding is in a church, then you are 'honored' rather than 'pleased' to attend. If you aren't going to the wedding, then line #2 reads "Regret they will unable to attend the marriage of" and everything else stays the same.

Then I would send an email to the person(s) who invited you and RSVP that way - tell them the problem or write them a real note :).  Don't lose sleep over it.

See the link below for the source of the following:\n\nQ: When writing to someone who claims the title ''Esquire," I was taught to leave off the designations Mr., Mrs., or Ms. Also, what is the proper usage of Esquire when sending an invitation to a couple?\n\nA.W., Green Bay, Wis. \n\nA: ''Esquire" is a professional designation in the legal arena, not a social designation. When you correspond with a lawyer, you have two choices: Write the person using a normal salutation (''Mr. Robert Jones" or ''Ms. Cynthia Adams") or put ''Esquire" after the name, using the abbreviated form (''Robert Jones, Esq." or ''Cynthia Adams, Esq.").\n\nYou would never use both the courtesy title of Mr. or Ms. and the professional designation of Esquire. Finally, when writing to a lawyer and his or her spouse, never use ''Esq." Instead, address the couple as ''Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jones."
