RSVP...Organizing with Invitations

__________________________________________________________

Organization is KEY when planning an event.  One of the primary elements to organization is having your guest RSVP.  RSVP means 'répondez s'il vous plaît', simply put...Respond Please.  The point of inputing RSVP on an invitation is to acquire a response from your guest.  This response is not only expected but necessary in the planning of the event. What can be organized by your guest sending a response back?

• Number of guests 
• Planning the food quantity to order from the caterer
• Booking a venue or appropriate space to accommodate the guests
• Managing and booking guest lodging for the invitees
• Planning the seating arrangements and more

Whether you decide to attend the event, it is proper ettiquette to reply with a response. Having guest RSVP is not just used with weddings but all events that require preparation with quanities and budgets.
