For the readers of this blog, that are thinking, “What are the proper words to use in their Respondez s’il vous plait?” —meaning “Please Respond”.
I recommend that you study Michael Santos’ exquisite reply—short, sweet and to the point. It made my day.
Please remember Emily Posts’ admonition “Anyone receiving an invitation with an R.S.V.P. on it is obliged to reply…”, and some recent editions describe breaching this standard as “inexcusably rude”.
