When making your wedding invitations, you will need an RSVP card. What is the wedding RSVP card wording that you should use.
Here are some samples of wedding RSVP card wording:
The favor of a reply is requested on or before (date)- Name (line) ____accepts ____ regrets
- We look forward to celebrating with you please reply by _____(date) M_(line) Number of persons ________
- Please reply on or before (date) M_(line) ____persons will attend
- M_______________________________can _____cannot accept your kind invitation to the Wedding.
___Chicken ____ Prime Rib ____Vegetarian
As you can see depending on what information you need will determine how you set up your RSVPs.
Chances are if you are having your reception catered you will need to get the replies back at least 2 weeks before the wedding or as your caterer requests. You will have the relies sent back to the brides parents most likely. If someone else is hosting the wedding it should go to them. If the couple are paying for the wedding and living together, it is tradition to only have the bride's name on the reply envelope. Again you may choose to use different etiquette.
It is also important to have room for your quests to put their name. If you want to know everyones name that is coming you can simply add lines. Usually it is just the family name and the number from that family that is listed.
You also want to make sure that you have put a stamp on the return envelope. Many people have started using postcards to send RSVPs. These are less expensive in making and mailing. However if you are going very formal you will want to have the standard envelope reply.
The wedding RSVP card wording should include any meal choices. It is custom to have at least 2 options for the meal. Many are also offering a vegetarian meal so that everyone will feel comfortable eating the meal provided.
Wedding invitations are usually sent out 6 - 8 weeks ahead of the wedding. The RSVP cards are then mailed back 2-3 weeks before the wedding. This gives time for plans to take place. If you have different circumstances you can adjust accordingly.
You do want to offer the regrets so that you will know that someone cannot make it. This allows you to have record that they acknowledge it and you won't have to worry about the last minute replies.
Although this gives you some idea of the wedding RSVP card wording, there are many others that are used. You will use the M with a line if your are going very formal. The word name is usually used for less formal weddings/
