Merriment to follow?

Close up of wording

Merriment = Partying

ETA: Looks like a more casual invite to me but I ALWAYS go with cocktail attire unless I know for certain. Also, write 2 so there is no confusion.

This was one of my biggest headaches when thinking about the RSVP card. Do I put in the number? Do I leave it blank for the guest to fill in? I feel like I overthink everything! But yes I agree how would she know that you are BOTH attending

You can do just a check mark if you're writing your names.

And to me, merriment = booze and dancing.

I didnt write the names. She did.

Oh! Do a 2 to be safe.

ETA: the right words.

Thats where I got thrown off! Im planning on leaving it blank so people can write in the names of those coming. I was confused that she filled it in.

Uh oh...I used the same RSVP card from Minted, different invite though. I just figured people would plan to be merry

ETA I have a small guest so everyone knows if they have a plus one - it's almost all family anyway. I wondered about how to make that clear but wth such a small close group I don't anticipate an issue. I did not write names on the line.

I always thought "merriment to follow" was pretty common on wedding invites, maybe it is just on the stock ones though, come to think of it...

You're supposed to leave it blank then, right? It is weird that they wrote in your names

@erin maybe it is? We are both designers so I haven't really looked at stock designs! Maybe its me.

@futureMrsNerd I assumed you were.. Supposed to leave it blank.

Yeah I assumed you're supposed to leave it blank. That's what I did and my guests filled in their names on their own. That way, if one half of the couple couldn't make it, the guest would just write one name and check the "accepts" line.

I dont think she thought it through haha. I think I'll write 2 to help her out. Eta: just saw your edit, yea I am going to.

I left my cards blank hopefully my guest will know to fill in there name and check the appropriate line

@kiandra I'm sure they will!

I think merriment is pretty standard for an invitation.

Ours said 'dinner, drinks & merriment to follow' on the bottom. It means fun, joyous, happiness, etc.

I wrote merriment. I didn't say dancing because I don't know if people will dance. The idea is drinking, socializing and music.

I would write the #2 beside accept line (if you are attending). That's how we set ours up and how people are returning the cards.

I think the invites are nice. I'd guess it's semi-formal. Maybe flats and a nice dress depending on the month. Look up the venue to see if that gives you any indication of how formal it is.

Definitely would take that as more casual here.

I agree with pp though, cocktail attire is a good idea, a lot of people don't understand how important matching invites to formality is. :/
