Requesting RSVP advice! Multiple guests of a single household

Yes, I need help on this too!

If they are all on the same invite you just use one RSVP. Just make sure that there is a space on the RSVP for them to put in individual names

Hmmm whenever I have received one, I just write my name and FH name on the same like. I assume the same would be for families, at least that's what I am planing to do. You could also have them initial each guests food choice so that you know for sure who is attending in case they don't fill out everyone's name on the line(s).

I just googled.

Some have a long gap with "Name(s)"

Others have seperate places for people to stick initials in

There seems to be different ways to lay it out but that just depends on what your invites are like. Still one RSVP per invite.

Technically, adults (non-couples) within the same households should receive separate invites and separate RSVPs. However, I think it will depend on how formal you want to be. My wedding was semi-formal and I sent 1 invite per household and it worked out well. However, if I thought any guests would be sensitive about this, I would have sent separate invites. If you are doing 2 envelopes (inner and outer), you can write the specific name of each invited guest on the inner envelope. This will indicate who should RSVP. Also, even when the RSVP card is small, people will fill in their names where there is room.

I sent separate invites to everyone over 18 so they either had 1 or 2 guests per RSVP like everyone else. Keeps it simple

You could do the whole

"We have reserved __ seats in your honor

__ accept

__ decline

__ of __ attending"

so one RSVP per household

Hope this helps.This is what my RSVP look like:

Beautiful Miss S.

Miss S- I love that format!

Thanks for all the great advice and suggestions!

I like that a lot Miss. S!

@Miss S - I love that format. Brilliant

Thanks everyone

If the household is a mix of parents and adult children I sent the adult children a separate invite. On my RSVP it read __seats have been reserved in your honor. I wanted it clear who could bring a guest and who couldn’t because of our venue restriction. I felt if I just included everyone on one invite I would run into the problem of everyone adding on a guest.

Miss S. – great idea.

Miss S. I'm stealing your format!

I have one space for "Name(s)" on our RSVP cards.

I'm also going to use an invisible pen to make a note somewhere, probably.

Miss S. is on the ball!

I also love Miss S's idea, and would further add to possibly write in the names yourself so there is even less confusion about who is invited.

I remember Trena did something similar, where she actually created various RSVPs with 1, 2, 3 or 4 lines for guests names (she was pretty organized) to send accordingly with the invites. If you have time and patience, may be worth doing something similar.
