RSVP in the Village has been the go-to gift and party store for the last 15 years. Current owner, Becci Meissner, purchased RSVP 8 years ago when she fell in love with RSVP as a customer herself.

“I am not originally from Kansas City and the moment I stepped into the store as a customer I was in love with the charm and the feel of the store.  When my dream to own RSVP came true I knew I was where I should be!” shared Becci.

RSVP in the Village is a one of kind store and is the only privately owned stationery boutique in the Kansas City Metro. Offering in stock or custom items, their designers can create anything to bring the vision of any event of all sizes to life.

“Our invitations and many of our items are unique.  They won’t be found on the internet or at a corporate store.  This is the best part of RSVP  We are just as unique as each of our customers and their events..  Our gifts that make people smile and bring their parties to life!” exclaimed, Becci.

From custom notepads, cups and to-go cups to gifts for every occasion, RSVP in the Village offers unique stock that keeps their customers coming back. With a team of 5 fun and party etiquette educated employees, you can trust RSVP for guidance on all your party, paper and entertaining needs.

Writing notes and letters have recently resurfaced as a creative tool for unique communication. RSVP offers a darling selection of stationary and custom notes that bring back the art of letter writing.

 “Special stationery or notes are a perfect way to speak to people we love and miss so much.  Nothing tells a story better or allows it to be remembered better than a special note that can be saved forever.” shared store manager, Hallie Beck.

Located between beloved neighbors Dolce Bakery and Cafe Provence, RSVP is conveniently located in the middle of The Shops of Prairie Village.

”The wonderful smells from my neighbors amazing cooking is enough to make the store special but I love walking out the door and seeing so many people sitting at bistro tables sharing conversation and friendship.  Prairie Village shops has a European feel.  It has a feel of a vibrant community.  It has the feel of home and good friends, of warm friendships and special relationships. “ shared, Becci.

While COVID has limited the big events, RSVP has found other ways to serve their customers needs to feel special. Becci and her team have worked hard to curate gift and paper collections that spark joy for all holidays and celebrations.
