I'm having a Tupperware party tonight at my house. My sister is a rep, she's trying to "reignite" her career, so I said I'd help out.

I invited 18 people, just checked the text message. Got 5 responses. 5. That is all.

Then I saw two of the people during the week and they responded. So that makes 7 in total. 7 from 18. I requested an RSVP. But did I not word it right? Here is what I said:

"Hope to see you then, let me know if you can make it. There will be bubbly... Cheers, OP"

Is that too ambiguous? Would you respond to that only if you were ABLE to come? As in, ignore it if you can't come?

Because seriously, 7 out of 18 is pretty crummy for a response rate.
