Etiquette Tip
A personal thank you note is the only appropriate way to say "Thank You!"
At one time, notes were not considered necessary when you thanked someone in person. Today, with guest lists being longer and guests busier, a personal thank you note is the only way to make sure sincere appreciation is expressed. Just telling someone who has given you a gift, how much you appreciate it, does not "cut the cake!"
R.S.V.P.
What does it mean?
"R.S.V.P." is short for the French "respondez s'il vous plait" which translates to "please respond". Specify "R.S.V.P." if you want the guests to notify you whether they'll be attending. Use "Regrets only" when you want guests to respond only if they won't be attending, which may be an appropriate request for larger parties. You should also give a deadline for the response (e.g., "R.S.V.P. by [date]"). If you feel some guests may be unfamiliar with the terms "R.S.V.P." or "Regrets only", then by all means use more direct language such as "Please reply" or "The favor of your reply is requested". The R.S.V.P. line usually appears at the bottom of the invitation.
