Everyone loves a lazy weekend afternoon. You arrive home from running the morning's errands, church or maybe you've decided to sleep in on this particular day; whatever it is that you choose to do, you would normally have an idea of the movie(s) in which you'll view, snacks that you would want to eat and what time you will decide to turn the ring volume back up on the telephone. You settle into your leisure day of relaxation and get that un-expected knock at the door. While we all love of family members and value our friends, don't you just detest when that happens? Now, you may say, "I would not answer my door or telephone" but at a wedding ceremony and reception, one cannot bar the entrance into the room.
R.S.V.P. - not just fancy letters that appear on correspondences because we enjoy making life difficult for guests. Those very important letters are there to ensure that everyone is accounted for---- a place to sit and a meal & beverages to enjoy. Don't take for granted that because you are a relative of the Bride or Groom, they were guests at your wedding or because they sent an invitation so they must know that you're going to attend. When the couple begins to combine and total their lists, they are not going to sit and search for those, near and dear, that are sure to attended but did not return the response card. Now as much as the couple would love to include you and your guest in the celebration, if you did not return the card or at least place a telephone call, then it is assumed that you are declining the invite.
Make it easier on everyone involved- return the card, get decked out and let's all have a good time.
