Here on the West Coast, we are lucky if our guests RSVP to any type of event. I often warn clients that the response process can be a bit frustrating, I am urging all of us Californians to take a tip from our friends in the South on the importance of a respectful and timely response.
Etiquette states that you must "reply in kind" to any type of invitation which simply means that you must respond in the same manner you received the invite. If you got a phone call, call the person back to accept or decline. The same with a text, text them or an email, etc...
DO NOT respond to a wedding invitation with a text, phone call or email unless it is requested to do so. Secondly, DO NOT assume that just because you are part of the wedding party or a family member that this does not include you. You too must reply in kind.
There are not many formal invitations floating around California. Here we are most likely to receive an invitation that includes a response card to return. It is not that difficult to check a box and write your name! I am begging you (YOU know who you are), to make a bit more effort to make your Type A friends lives here on the West Coast a little less stressful. Please reply in kind!
See y'all next Sunday!
