Re: RSVPs

[(Anonymous)]

It's just a change of times, I'll say... RSVP basically stands as an invite for some people, they wont reply because the fact they're getting the letter insinuates (to them) that you already expect them to be there...

Have you tried to specify the need to know how many people are coming? (Is it the same group of people, can you try and get the word around within the circle, or is it a new group basically every year?) These days people seem to need direct information in order for something to be important enough to reply to. Some people might only hear of it second hand, depending on how inclined they are to check their email...
Of course some people might hold their response if they're afraid of saying no, and I know a lot of people who just don't respond because they think a lack of response just means no...

If I were you, I'd just make it over the top clear that you need to know the answer, be it yes or no. That you wont be offended if someone declines, but if anyone wishes to come, you need to know so preparations can be made in order to provide for them. Also ask if anyone wishes to respond for anyone besides themselves- and casual remind people face to face that you are having a party, and to let you know personally, or by email, if they want to come.
(sorry that you're having a hard time btw;; it must suck to be responsible for people who refuse to be responsible themselves;;)
