RSVP'ing and other important manners

 

 

RSVP 

Abbreviation

Répondez s'il vous plaît, or please reply (used at the end of invitations to request a response).

An abbreviation often included in invitations to request that the invitee let the host know if he or she will be attending. From the French term, "Répondez si'l vous plaît," which means "please reply."

It is so simple really. A quick reply to say you can make it or not. You would think it is easier now than ever before. It does not require sending a man on horse to deliver your hand written reply or putting it in snail mail. I mean let's face it, there is the home phone, the cell phone, texting, email and even Facebook. There are more ways than ever before to get in touch with your host to let them know if you can come to the party or not.

Now, do the rules change if we are talking about a kid's party invitation? 


Isn't a party a party? No matter the age of the party host?

The Critter Party

So... my daughter is now 10! Wow, double digits I can hardly believe it!

For her birthday she wanted to have a critter party, with LIVE critters. So I went on a search and found this great place called Creature Quest. The rep from the company comes to the house with a number of selected creatures and critters. Perfect! So my daughter made her list of creatures, including a hedgehog, tree frog and a blue tongued skink.

Here are just some of the creatures that came to visit at our house!

The hedgehog, Pins, was the fan favourite! The kids also loved the rabbit and the chinchilla, of course, but the sweet little green tree frog, Toy, was  well loved too!
