RSVP Card Wording
Your RSVP card is the one piece of the wedding invitation suite that will be returned to you with important information. To make sure your RSVPs include the information you need and fit into your invitation suite as a whole, you'll need to consider the following.
RSVP cards serve a few purposes in the wedding invitation suite:
- They allow your guests to RSVP to your wedding
- They communicate your RSVP deadline
- They offer meal choices
- They can point to your wedding website for more information (as wedding websites shouldn't be listed on the invite themselves)
Compared with your wedding invitation, you don't have nearly as much information to worry about on your RSVP card, but the way you word your RSVPs will depend on the level of formality of your wedding and the information you need to collect.
1. RSVP Line
This line is very important - it tells your guests what to do with this card.
Some examples include:
- RSVP
- Please Reply
- Kindly RSVP/Reply/Respond
- Your Reply is Requested
2. Deadline
This deadline is so important, not only for final numbers for your venue and caterer, but also for your place cards and seating chart. I recommend setting your reply date to one month after your invitations have hit mailboxes, and no less than one month before your wedding date.
3. Name Line
Guests will put their own names on this line. What's with the "M."? Traditionally, an "M." is marked next to the line to indicate Mr/Mrs/Miss/Ms, but you might skip that altogether by writing "Name(s)."
4. Options Line
You'll need to include two options here: One for yes, and one for no. The options are seriously endless depending on how playful you're willing to be, but here are some.
Some examples include:
- Accepts with pleasure / Regretfully declines
- Wouldn't miss it for the world / Will celebrate from afar
- Graciously accepts / Respectfully declines
- Will attend / Unable to attend
- Yes, let’s party / No, and I’ll forever regret this decision
You might also include menu options here, which can be indicated with their names or with adorable illustrations. If you have a wedding website that is accepting RSVPs, the RSVP card is a good place to mention it as well.
