...what bugs me the most are those who call and say that they're going to come without either RSVPing on our website or sending in their response card. Personally, I don't consider verbal confirmations official. As we have meal choices, paper or electronic confirmation is very important. What bugs me even more are third party confirmations - when someone tells me that another invitee is coming, without the actual invitee contacting us directly. I won't mark down anyone as officially coming unless they contact me themselves. However, regrets through third party contacts are acceptable (though not ideal).
I realize that some of this might be cultural - I've had more RSVP issues on my side than from my fiance's. It *IS* tough to be the first generation born in Canada. Even if your parents and close relatives get you, it doesn't mean that more distant relatives do - especially if they don't live here. They'll just continue to do things they consider is proper etiquette.
