Forgot dietary restriction on rsvp

I forgot to ask about dietary restrictions on my RSVPs. I know I have some vegan and vegetarian friends, as well as those who are gluten free. Is it worth reprinting? It would be about $35 to reprint, so not a huge deal.

    You can still get the 50% off! I used a 50% off code today.

    This is easy, and does the job. Easy to say, if you need special vegan, vegetarian, Kosher, or any medically necessary diet...either please contact us, or list here, and we will contact you. Medically necessary, like cardiac or diabetic are often a matter if portions, or substituting one item. You need not leave it open for people on weight loss or non-medically necessary diets. We had a space for " special diet" on rsvp meal choices list. But a business card insert about communication. A couple people used them for things we had not thought about, that venue provided easily. Two used clip on plate guards, one with a tremor, one with little vision. And for one with a tremor, a weighted cup, and no stemware for drinks. The venue had plenty of pressed glass tumblers. People wanting bottles warmed may let you know, too. Easier to do with a quick conversation on the phone, than fit some details on rsvp cards.

    Oh ok, you may want to contact their customer support and see if they will print you new ones for free! I messed up something REALLY petty on my invitations from Shutterfly and they gave me an entirely new corrected batch for free

    I would just get a sleeve of business cards from Staples and print the information for them to write in if they have a dietary restriction on their RSVP card as an enclosure

    I agree with this. Save the money. I too put I think 2 FAQ on my website about dietary allergies/restrictions and something along the lines of "it is crucial that you let the bride/groom know so that the proper accommodation and info can get to the venue". I am not putting food selections on the rsvp anyway cuz it's a buffet. It should be their responsibility not mine. If I don't hear from one guest who I think might be vegetarian I will just reach out to her. Otherwise, I am fairly certain we don't have special diets just want to know allergies for sure.
