Always RSVP on time and hold to your answer!
Every invitation you receive will have an RSVP date. That date is your deadline for when you must tell the host/ hostess whether or not you will be able to attend their event. RSVP is an acronym for a French phrase but the English translation is “please reply”. Your answer is vital to the host’s planning. They will use the number of RSVP’s to determine how much food and drinks to provide as well as to prepare the location for the specified number of people. If you say you will be there, be there! You will look rude and disrespectful backing out on your commitment.

Good advice. Now would you give us some tips on sending thank yous. Some people say you have a year to send them. Call me old fashion, but that’s just dumb advice.
