RSVP Wedding Cards and Response Cards

Response Card Details

You have gone to all the work of planning your wedding, mailing out the invitations, selecting the decorations, choosing the food, and so on. Now you just need to know how many of your guests can attend your big day.

RSVP wedding cards are a great way to help answer that question. These can either be in the form of a postcard or tucked in an envelope, but your wedding response card should include the following:

• A space for the guests to write their names
• A place for them to check if they are attending or cannot attend
• If applicable, a place for them to select which meal they prefer.
• The address to which the RSVP wedding card should be mailed.

You should also include a respond by date. A good rule of thumb for the response date should be 2 weeks before the caterer needs your final head count, not 2 weeks before your wedding. This gives you time to contact those guests who have missed the reply by date and see if they are attending.

Have fun with your response card language

Instead of simply putting "Yes, attending" or "No, can't make it" for your guests to select before sending back their RSVP cards, have fun with the language. Say something like "Can't wait to celebrate with you" or "Unfortunately we will miss all the fun".

Helpful hints for your wedding response cards

It is also a good idea to put a place for "names" instead of just M_______ . By putting the words "Names" it tells your guest to write down all who is coming, which helps when creating your place cards.

It is proper etiquette to include the return postage for your response cards, to be sure to include that into your budget when thinking about whether to go with a response card in the form of a postcard or in an envelope.

Be sure to leave off important information such as accommodations, maps, etc on your response cards as this is something your guests will return to you before your wedding day and if all that information is on the wedding RSVP card, they will no longer have it.
