I threw one for my 25th wedding anniversary and most of the same people no-showed/no-called on that one too. I definitely concur about the honesty thing. If something comes up between the day of invite and the day of party, let me know. I'll appreciate the honesty and I won't think less of you.G. B.

We always go through this every year with my daughter's recital because the tickets are so expensive.(usually around $25 or so). I'm just seriously disappointed with those people.G. B.

I always say about people in general that they don't know what RSVP means or that they don't think about the impact on the host having all that extra food and beverage.
