Who absolutely hates people who do not RSVP?????????????????????

The end of the RSVP?
Maybe it's because we're all so busy. Maybe we're losing our social graces. Or maybe it's because we're too darn lazy. Whatever the reason, local brides and party hosts say they're appalled at how many guests aren't bothering to RSVP to invitations to weddings and other get-togethers these days-- even if a stamped, addressed envelope is provided for their response. So what's a party planner to do when their headcount is left in limbo? As a guest,are you irritated when a host wants you to commit to attending an event as far as 10 weeks in advance?

For a fun story to run in Newsday's features seciton, we're looking to interview people who live on Long Island or in NYC who have dealt with this issue when planning a wedding or other party. We'd love to hear your stories and advice. And if you're guilty of ever having been a non-RSVPer (whether you're proud or ashamed of that) we want to talk to you, too.

well i def am guilty...i really never paid attention to the rsvp..i was always wrapped up in my own b.s.(lazy ) ..but now i am embarrased..i tried to throw a party last labor day and only like 5 people really rsvp'd...i mean i know alot of them were close family and friends and i guess they expected for me to know they were coming...exactly how i felt when i didnt rsvp...it is LAZY..and like i said im embarrased because now i know how it feels to not get any responses..its fun getting the rsvps.....oh well IM GUILTY..not anymore though..i promise!

In high school i didn't rsvp to a friend's sweet 16 - I thought I had though. Whoops!

I had been invited to an average of 2-3 a month though for over a year - so I couldn't keep straight who I'd told, and who I hadn't told

Honest mistake though.

hate is a strong word... but i do think it's rude not to rsvp.

how hard is it to check off yes or no and put it back in your mailbox for the postman?
