Did anyone have trouble with the "_____ of _____ persons will attend" format?

jinjer, on February 19, 2014 at 2:54 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 6

I'm sending out my RSVP cards with the "_____ of _____ persons will attend" format, where I'm supposed to write the number in the slot before the word "persons." I'm concerned that there are some people who will not understand that they're supposed to write a number in the slot before the word "of" and will put a checkmark or something in that slot. Because some things just aren't obvious to some people.

It looks like this:

_____ of _____ persons will attend

_____ Sorry, cannot attend

If you used that format, did people have trouble understanding it in your experience?

    Write

    # of people attending

    # of people declining

    if you are that worried. People should be able to figure it out but some girls have had strange things happen like blank RSVPs or empty envelopes so you never know with guests.

    I wrote nearly everything in for them so it SHOULD be unmistakable who the invitation is for.

    Jack and Jill Smith are invited. No, you cannot cross out the 2 and write in a 3 so you can invite your dear Aunt Jody.

    The way I was going to do it was "___ seats have been reserved in your honor" and I would fill in with whos invited. Then: ____ will attend ____regretfully declines

    Or something like that. Curious also to see if others had problems with it though.

    @OTW - I'm still in shock over that, lol. You can't prevent guests from doing something strange obviously even with all of your precautions!
