No Regrets

RSVPs Without Regrets

By Donna Pilato, About.com

This tip was submitted by Patty Sachs.

Do not use the term "regrets only" or you will not know if someone did not receive your invitation. By sending a regular RSVP request, when you don't hear from someone you can follow-up to verify that they received their invitation and what their answer will be. "Regrets only" can be disastrous if you assume that folks are coming, when in fact they just forgot to respond.

Thanks for the tip Patty!
