Cahir Castle
On our drive from Wexford to Galway, in addition to stopping for gas and ALL THE SNACKS, we stopped at Cahir Castle. It was not...
Are you good about RSVPs, and thank-you cards?
Ugh. I’m usually the last person to RSVP just under the deadline, and I’m completely wretched with thank-you cards. It’s a wonder anyone ever asks me anywhere, or sends me any gifts!
I am much better with the thank yous than the RSVPs, especially if they are by phone. I just really hate to talk on the phone…
I manage RSVP’s pretty well, thank you’s are abysmal. I try to remember, really I do, but then I turn around and it’s been two months and I feel like even more of a turd so I don’t write it still… and so on and so on.
I even RSVP when it says ‘regrets only’, just to make sure they know how excited I am about the invitation. I try to send thank you’s as soon as possible after receiving a gift. It’s easier if you don’t get a lot of invitations or gifts.
I always respond promptly to an invitation, and now that email is so acceptable a Thank You is really a no-brainer. Notes are harder, but a thank you email can go out right after the gift or party, while you are still excited about it. And if I took pictures at the party I send a few right away.
