You Know There's a Problem When It's in the Comics

One of my little secret rituals is reading the comic pages on Sunday. This week the strip called "Edge City" was about a mom who was making phone calls since guests hadn't R.S.V.P.'ed to her party. Throughout the strip her tone was highly annoyed. The punch line was when she received a phone call because she had forgotten to R.S.V.P. to an invitation her daughter had received. So whether or not the reasons are understandable, getting an R.S.V.P. has become more difficult than ever. That's why I've gathered together in this one article, all of the commentary and suggestions from readers on how to improve your response rate.
