Event Etiquette : Do Nigerians Respond To RSVP?

The purpose of etiquette is to create an environment that allows everyone to feel comfortable. But of course, not everyone is completely at ease with knowing whether they are conveying proper business etiquette to corporate hosts, colleagues and other guests. However, appropriate business etiquette is expected of everyone, especially at corporate events. The first question is, when should you respond to an RSVP?

Event invitations will provide most of the important information of an event, including details about the host, type of event, purpose (even as much as a brief agenda), location, time, specific instructions, and – of course – the RSVP.

Events today rely on a variety of RSVP options, including email, phone, and more. It is important for guests to respond quickly when they receive an invitation, and it’s best to respond within a week. If you must decline at the last minute, please notify the host prior to the event or first thing the next day with sincere regrets.

This is the basics of RSVP… But I doubt if Nigerians respond to RSVP’s

Do they?
