Why not? If you have nothing on that date, you RSVP yes (if it’s something you want to go to) and then that’s the thing you do that day.

This is not hard.

Um, Evite is a spammy way to give away your friends' emails to a company without their permission and then require them to look at ads while viewing your invite because you were too cheap to buy one or send an email.

I don't think it's very polite to send Evites in the first place. So I would back away from calling people who don't respond to them rude, as it is hypocritical.

These get lost in spam quite a lot.

I get wedding and bat/bar mitzvah invites at least six weeks in advance. I just decide if I want to go and RSVP, and then plan around that event.

+a million

So irritating and rude.

Just say no if you aren’t coming.

Not excusing not RSVPing but they may not see them.

I have missed out on a few invitations that never made it to me. The hosts contacted me otherwise I would have never known we were invited.

Now if you see that they’ve viewed it and not responded that’s different.

Sometimes I ping them to make sure they got it.

They may not have gotten the email or they forgot. Reach out to them. I don't bother to RSVP as if you knew me the answer is no with covid.

If they aren’t viewing it, it’s probably in their spam folder.

If they don't rsvp, they aren't coming. I have never once had an evite with any other outcome. Just write them off.
