Guest guest Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 It is incredibly bad manners (in good old fashioned formal invitation circles) to do this, but it works in the experience of many friends of mine (and me, the once I tried it!) - put " RSVP before 30 August " (or whenever, about 2 weeks before the event) and it seems to provide the extra push that people need to reply.

I can honestly say that I have never had a thank you letter from DH's neice and nephew who will be 18 and 14 this year. I do make the effort to help the boys do theirs but I really get p***ed off with the lack of them back. Trisha who honestly is not on coffee at the moment but can't help checking the web site!

On most wedding invitations in the US, there is a date by which you need to reply. It’s generally because they need to confirm to the caterer approximately how many people will come. Generally, if you reply late, but not too too late, you’ll still be welcomed. It’s still considered a bit rude, though, and even worse if you just show up on the day (or say you’re coming and don’t show up).
