[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here. Forgot to add that I personally wouldn't consider an RSVP necessary or meaningful for an "open house". By definition, it means people can come and go as they want and they're not obligated to attend. Doesn't it?[/quote]

It is always nice to RSVP so the host can get a rough idea how much food to purchase.[/quote]

I'd generally agree with you, except that I didn't see where the OP said that they had RSVPed at all, just that "yes, they knew about it". It's not the same thing.

Also, if you want people to take it as a serious commitment then don't call it an "open house". Call it a tea party that is all about one girl and how she managed to get through high school and so all her extended family will be there on that day to congratulate her. Let them decide whether that's something that they want to attend. Ask for an RSVP in advance. Say that it's catered (especially if it's not the done thing) and tell them that you received their RSVP and you're looking forward to them joining you on that day from start time to end time. Don't say it's an open house and imply they can stop in if or when they want and then get frustrated when they decide otherwise.[/quote]
