How soon do you RSVP for an event?

[TrudyCampbell]

Usually immediately. I hate late responders!

[Booze Raccoon]

ASAP.  Mostly because if I don't, the invite will get lost and I'll forget.

Late because I can't keep a fucking thought in my brain for more than 30 seconds most of the time, BUT when I send invites I want people to RSVP immediately. I sent C's party invites out last week and haven't heard from anyone yet and am getting antsy as well.

Immediately.

This exactly.

Usually right away but that's because I'm afraid if I don't, I'll forget.

As soon as I know my availability, which, unfortunately, may not be immediately.

Also.

I am notorious for forgetting about invitations.

Honestly- depends on the event! For something big like a wedding, or a milestone b-day for a good friend, I'll usually RSVP right away. If it's for something that I may not be super excited about attending but will if nothing else comes up - I'll wait until closer to the RSVP date. But I DO RSVP before the deadline (if one is given).

If I know I am going, immediately. If I'm not totally sure if it will work, once I figure that out but usually as soon as I can.

If I know my answer immediately because otherwise I tend to forget.

This reminds me I was invited to a wedding in Ireland and I searched the invite high and low and could not find a way to RSVP. I asked DH who opened it if he threw away the inner envelope or anything and he swears he didn't. So I didn't do anything. A few weeks ago another friend brought it up and made a joke about the "Irish RSVP" I have no idea if he was serious and I fucked up. So if you are Irish my answer is I don't RSVP at all.

If it's an evite - immediately. If I need to call or mail something back then usually within a couple days, as soon as I have time to make a phone call or get to a mailbox.

As soon as I know the answer

Usually pretty quickly. 9 times out of 10 I know if I'm going someplace or I'm not or if I have plans, or don't.

[AlpineSlide]

Almost always immediately.
