Response card wording-funny or tacky?

SHINY OBJECTS, on January 8, 2017 at 10:30 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 1 53

I finally sat down to work out my invitations, and in the midst of the very long session, when we got to talking about response card wording, I half-jokingly brought up this idea. I was very surprised that my mom, FH, and printer all busted out laughing and thought it was great. Now I'm torn. I think it's awesome and know I would chuckle if I got it from someone else, but I'm concerned that it ventures too far into tacky territory for the majority of people. I trust you all will let me know if it is. For reference, we're a pretty goofy couple in general.

    I think it's awesome! Weddings can get stressful and I think this card kinda makes things more fun for both the guests and the ones planning.

    Some people think it's inappropriate but I personally like putting humor into these things if it matches your personalities. Besides "will miss it like a stormtrooper" our reply card was pretty traditional. I liked the added touch of humor :-)

    I laughed so hard at this. I'd find it hilarious if I received this, but then I'm rather goofy myself. I suppose it would depend on how formal the invitation you're sending it with and the sense of humor of your guests.

    I love it! Weddings can get too stuffy. I love some light heartedness thrown in.

    I like it!!! Just be prepared for somebody to joke back and say they regretfully accept or enthusiastically decline.

    @sass, that's hilarious!!!!

    I personally think they're great and would totally chuckle if I received this.

    I've been trying to find something a little offbeat like this for our wedding. We're not a flowers and mason jar type of couple. They're beautiful but not us.

    I think it's cute. But it definitely.gives a more casual feel to your RSVP. If that's the general feel you're going for then go for it!!

    @mrs.sasswood- REALLY?!? That is AWESOME!! I'm crying.

    @Gracie-as long as they check the correct one for being there or not, I'm ok with that. I know of an uncle on each side who will probably regretfully accept!

    @Jessica-have you checked out offbeat bride? They have a lot of good and different ideas.

    I've seen this wording before and I think it's really funny, however, in reality it's tacky and inappropriate for a wedding. If I received it, it would kind of be a forewarning that there might be other tacky aspects of the wedding.

    Why are there two sets of names on the RSVP card, and nowhere to indicate how many seats to reserve?
