RSVP - or Snarky's Biggest Pet Peeve

Snarky has thrown a lot of parties recently and she has about had it with people who don't respond. I got married last year, so I know exactly how she feels. So here are a few thoughts so you aren't on Snarky's naughty list...or anyone elses.

1. Don't not RSVP because you don't want to go but you don't want to hurt the person who invited you. I know you are loved by all, but this person will get over it.
2. Especially in cases of weddings or other expensive events, if you RSVP'd to attend and something has come up that you cannot, let the person know. Otherwise, they have paid for food that will not be eaten and that can be really expensive.
3. Do not respond on someone's Facebook wall. I feel certain that was now how you were invited. What about the people that didn't make the cut? Now they feel sad and lonely.
4. If at some point you offered to host or help host and now cannot...own up to it. It's ok, life happens, but what is super annoying is when other people are in a holding pattern waiting for you to respond!
