31 - To RSVP or Not To RSVP

About this episode

This episode humorously explores the RSVP challenges faced by Black and Brown families during event planning.

You send the invite. You wait. You wonder. And then… your tía or auntie shows up with three cousins who weren’t on the list. In this episode, we laugh through the RSVP struggle that so many Black and Brown families know all too well. Why do some of us ignore the RSVP line like it’s optional fine print? Why is “I’ll let you know” really code for “I’m coming, but I’m not telling you yet”? We’ll share stories, cultural insights, and the reality of planning an event where the guest list is always a surprise. If you’ve ever hosted a party, wedding, quinceañera, or cookout, this one’s for you.
