Reply Card Wording ***forget etiquette* I NEED you to reply

What if they send it back and it gets lost in the mail?

Slim chance but I will be calling those I haven't heard from..but I don't want that list of calls to be long..Using the replies to do the seating chart. Have received some wedding invites that had the same concept Just didn't like their wording

RSVP required to ensure seating.

or

RSVP's will determine seating.

I like Katie's RSVP required to ensure seating.

it's drives the point home with out being overly harsh...

Good There are 2 members on here that had RSVP's get lost in the mail. Kris received her "yes" reply 3 months after the wedding occurred. And Carole never received her MOH "yes" reply... so, it does happen

LOL ~ how formal is your invites and will your guests see the humor in this? I don't have the personality to pull it off, but maybe you do?

Please place this rsvp and pre-stamped envelope in the mail before Takeivia needs to hunt you down. We look forward to celebrating with you and need this card returned by June 1st to guarantee your seat.

Anyone that doesn't physically mail this card in will be placed at the kids table.

I like it!

Lol...Hayley does it again! I think it is cute, but still gets the point across.

I like Katie's with the word "ensures," but if your style can work with Hayley's, I'd do that! It gets your point across but somehow still seems lighthearted the way she out it on the sample.

Takeivia: I had to do the same thing! I am very strict about the rsvping via the cards or on our website. I'm not calling anyone at all. Lol.

I like Katie P's wording for the reply cards. Very nicely put and gets the point across.

A mandatory reply is needed for those attending and not attending by (date).

Please acknowledge the receipt of your invitation by replying (attending/not attending) by (date).

Thanks everyone..I was downstairs printing...sooo I stayed away from being too wordy and simply put. RSVP required to attend reception. We've been planning for a LONG time and if you don't let us know you're coming then, DON"T come because we are predicted to be full. Luckily my friends and family know how I am and word will spread that you won't be allowed in the reception if you do not RSVP.

Thanks again ladies :-)

No off to spend a million bucks on stamps

Be true to yourself. Since my FH is a postal carrier, thanks for spending a million bucks on stamps. ;-)

@Hayley C hilarious!!! I might use the kids table warning

Hayley, you always crack me up. I love the kid table thing. Only problem with my wedding is that everyone would end up at the kiddie table anyway.

MOH had the formal dining room all set up for people to eat on St Patrick's day, and then bamf... the children sat in the formal dining room, we all sat outside.
