- Rsvp/ Hospitality
RSVP comes from the French phrase ‘Repondez, s’il Vous plaît’. It means to ‘Respond’.
A wedding invitation typically includes an RSVP (or response), where guests can let the couple know if they can attend the wedding, date of their travel, mode of transport, tickets, type of rooms, any personal assistance, etc.
A couple has to select the date that allows them to have enough time to plan and prepare. They need to know in advance how many seats, tables, chairs, programs, and favors they’ll need. Most importantly, caterers require exact numbers and charge extra for last-minute changes. Ideally, you’ll have responded as soon as possible, long before that date.
A bigger and demanding job than you think, RSVP managing is a job for a pro. Good communication skills, people skills and versatility are needed to shine in this sector.
Hospitality is at the centre of the wedding business.
