Procrastinators that we
are... it is sometimes a chore to get
our RSVP in the mail. How many times has
an invitation, unknowingly, been mixed
up in the daily mail only to be
neglected until the last minute?
"répondez,
s'il vous plaît," which means "please
reply."
We suggest a simple yet proven method,
that we learned through trial and error,
to simplify this problem. This
suggestion should help you plan your
event while being assured that each
guest will most likely return your RSVP
in a timely manner.
Mail your invitations on a Wednesday!
Why Wednesday you ask? If an invitation
is mailed on Wednesday it is more likely
to arrive at its destination on Friday
or Saturday, this is the objective.
Receiving the invitation on the weekend,
instead of a weekday, will give your
guest time to read and return your RSVP
more promptly.
Weekends, typically, are less hectic and
people have a little more leisure time
than during a busy work week. When
friends receive the invitation on a busy
weekday it may likely get tossed into a
pile of "get around to it" mail or lost
altogether. However, when the invitation
arrives on Friday or Saturday, you will
most likely get a timely response. This
is due to timing...your friends will
have more time on the "weekend" to plan
for your event.
Your guests will have just a little more
time to deal with their social calendar,
coordinate dates, travel, babysitters
and other incidental details. It becomes
a coordinated effort on your part that
your guests will surely appreciate.
