Guest Etiquette

Many of you are probably receiving wedding invitations left and right. Well there are a few things you should know before deciding to RSVP to attend a wedding. 1. Only RSVP if you know for a fact that you will be in attendance for the wedding. Couples pay anwhere between $40 and $120 per guest for food and beverage alone, not including the cost of each place setting (chair rental, linens, centerpieces, menu and place cards, chargers, etc.). Don't allow your friends to waste their money. If 10 guests do not show at $100 per person, that is $1,000 wasted. 2. RSVP before the deadline. The deadline date on the RSVP card is not the date for you to place the card in the mail. Do return your RSVP card well in advance, so that your friends can give their vendors accurate numbers of guests in attendance. 3. If you do not attend the wedding, be sure to send a gift to the couple. Registry information is located on their wedding website. If you have any doubts, gift cards are always well received. So, let's all do our part and be FABULOUS wedding guests!!!
