RSVP etiquette for holiday invites

Invitations to holiday parties are pouring in and it’s a great time for an RSVP refresher. It may seem like a lost art, but in today’s modern digital world, RSVP etiquette is much easier than it was with hand-written mailed responses that took a day or two to arrive.

Be considerate that you were personally invited and attendance is limited. If you RSVP as attending and plans change, a best practice is call, email or text the host. Arrive on time and not two hours later, passing guests as they’re departing.

Be THE gracious party guest and enjoy holiday parties!
