RSVP-ing Etiquette

We see the letters R.S.V.P. on many of the invitations we receive to any number of events. R.S.V.P. is derived from the French language and stands for "respondez s'il vous plait." In English it means, "respond if you please." People place this on invitations so that people will call or write, letting them know whether or not they will be attending the event.

For most events, you should call or write to your host/hostess, letting them know whether or not you plan to attend at least a week to two weeks in advance of the event itself. Some invitations will have a special date to R.S.V.P. by. It's always good manners to reply before or at least by the date they have listed.

This let's your host/hostess know how many people are planning to attend so that they can furnish enough seating and refreshments for everyone. If you've ever planned a party or event where this was important to know beforehand, then you know how important it is to R.S.V.P. to any invitation that requests such, even if you don't plan to attend.

Greeting Card Etiquette for Businesses

When a business decides to give greeting cards to employees or customers, they don't want a well-meaning gesture to possibly offend someone. Here are a few guidelines on giving greeting cards for businesses.

- Never buy cheap greeting cards. Always buy greeting cards that are of good quality. This will show the people you're giving the cards to that you value them.

- Personally sign all of the greeting cards your company sends out. This adds a personal touch to your greeting card even if your information is already printed into the card itself.

- Always handwrite the addresses on the greeting card envelope or have someone do this for you. Using pre-printed address labels will make your greeting cards look like a mass mailing and that is something you want to avoid.
