Wow, slow news day. Can we get an article analyzing the etiquette of not immediately responding to a text message?

Re: evites, though...love getting Senoritas and Margaritas evites. They're cute.

Miss Lizzie's qualifications as an authority on etiquette. True, her great great grandmother was (and in some respects, still is) the go-to person for queries of propriety, but unless their family has some secret tome passed on, mother-to-daughter, that imparts all etiquette lore, what makes her so special? Manners and class aren't qualities you're born with, after all.

I enjoy evite... I like the reminder emails to the events... I do love to see who else is going, and more often than not, pass along the evite invitation to some of my friends who are just 'friends of the friend' hosting the party. (with permission of course). I love writing wacky things in my comments area! What I hate is when people don't respond even though they looked at my invitation. When I ask them to RSVP by a few days before the event, and they don't (I need to know how much food and drink usually) it pisses me off. Just say no if you aren't planning on coming. Don't fool around. That way you will get an invitation to my next big party... otherwise you will miss out on the next invite!

My nephew & niece used Evites for my brother & sister-in-laws 25th Anniversary. Over half the email address's they used were old so many people did not even know of the party. Can they tell who received it and read it? I thought it was tacky and felt bad that even the best man did not attend the party as he never got the email.

I think it's a great way to get the invitation out and save money on stamps, cards, etc. The one thing that dislike about RSVP is that if you decline an invitation there will 3 or 4 people pestering you to go! "Why aren't you going?" How is that anyone else's business? "Awwwww, c'mon, you just gotta go!" Um, no I don't. I think this is rude behavior. Just like little kids that can't take NO for an answer.

You may not be aware of this, but it's considered rude to even ask Party Thrower's permission to pass along an invite to another person. In most cases, Party Thrower will feel obligated to say yes out of politeness. And in the case where you and Party Thrower are so close that s/he "should" feel comfortable telling you No, you're probably not as close as you think, or Party Thrower would have consulted you when making the invite list. Well, now you know! Please don't ask for Party Thrower's permission to invite others that aren't invited.
