RSVP Card Question

Usually there is a line that will say initial choice of entree. (pic 1)

or list it so each guests write's their name and check which meal (pic 2)

You don't know exactly who gets what...you just know the party will get 1 of this and maybe 1 of that. The couple can switch if it's backwards. We're not worrying about it... . Other ideas that came up here is a small colored crystal on the seating cards to indicate meals..but that means you need a seating card/escort card for EACH guest. We're just doing one for a couple. A few things to kick around

They just put a number in the slot for the meal and when they're seated, their server determines who has what exactly according to the escort card (if their is one) or by asking him. No big deal.

It all sounds so simple, right?

Ours are below, and I still had people that

1. Didn't fill in their name (number the back of them so you know whose it is)

2. Didn't notice that the number of people was already filled in, and asked for more guests

OR

3. Crossed out the number I put in there and put their own number in there.

4. Put both names on the RSVP, but only check marked instead of initialed their menu selection.

Sometimes you just can't win, be ready to make lots of phone calls and/or send lots of emails to clear things up.

I gave up and just figured that if they got the wrong thing (those that only put a check) would switch with the other person

I ordered my RSVP cards from Vistaprint and realized this issue only AFTER I got them!! I ordered new ones and put:

Name(s) ________ Entree: ______

________ Entree: ______

Please indicate your choice of entree for each guest: Chicken, Salmon, Vegetarian Pasta, or Children's Meal.

Everyone did it correctly so far!

Ours look similar to your picture posted....we are only including one RSVP card per invitation. We are also numbering the back and had a children's option as well. Our venue is cook to order so they will go around and ask each guest what they ordered. So, luckily for us, we just need to tell them what is RSVP'd to us. They automatically make extra for any mishaps (change of choice, extra people, etc.) I would ask your venue if they do the same! Good luck and Congratulations!
