Invitation questions

I would do a separate RSVP card. Normally there’s a line with each person’s name, choice, and any allergies.

We had seal-n-send invites & loved them. It cost of postage of the RSVP postcard was less, also. We didn't have a plated meal, so I can't help you with that part of the RSVP. Once you do know who choose which meal, you can buy a stamper for each choice & have that on the individual escort/place cards (stamp of fish, cow, chicken, etc).

I have the same question about indicating meal choice.

I don't think the pull apart RSVP is cheap.

I would put my mom's name on the invite since she's hosting. But I guess if she said she doesn't care, you could leave her off. Or you could say something like "Together with their parents" as long as FS parents are contributing some too.

I had seal and send invites and I loved them!!! No one thought they were cheap. They were inexpensive from Anne's Bridal Bargains. Very good customer service. Our wedding was more on the informal side though. This company will send three free samples. (No I don't work for them, just offering up a choice)

Per your mom's name: Consider "together with their parents" if you want. Ask people to initial their food choice. Also: mark your RSVP's with a little number to match your master list. You will be surprised how many people will send it back with no name or just check a meal choice box.

People complimented us on our invites!!

Thank you everyone for the help after reading this and talking to some family I think I have some solutions. My FHs family is not helping financially with the wedding. My mom finally said last night she wants her name on the invite so I am just putting her name on it. So I will look up proper etiquette of just putting one parents name since I don’t have any relationship with my bio dad at all. Thanks also for the input on the all in one invitations, I was just scared that since they do cost so much less that they would also come off as cheap looking.

I wanted the seal and send invitations as well. Until we received one in the mail and Joe threw it out thinking it was junk mail.

It seems like everyone else has answered questions 1 & 2, so I'll just answer 3 - our RSVP card has a line for the names of people attending, and then it says "Please initial the meal choice for each guest" with lines next to each of the meal choices. That way we know that Mike wants the beef and Jane wants the chicken.

Seal and sends are very popular. If you are concerned about them looking cheap you can upgrade to a shimmer paper stock or go wtih a foil option

www.carlsoncraft.com has lots of really nice affordable options. And you can order samples to see for yourself.
