rsvp card confusion

Dani, on February 25, 2021 at 6:40 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 16
This might be a dumb question but I am currently finishing up the details for our invitations and card inserts. Here’s a pic of what they currently look like. I am wondering if I need to include like “___ number attending” as most of the cards are sent to either couples or families. also, should I put a line next to the entree options so they can write in how many they want of each? or do you think people assume to put 2 checks next to chicken if that’s what both people in the couple want. TIA rsvp card confusion 1

    I think a line would be less confusing for some people! Also, you are missing your vegetarian option.

    Hi Dani! First off, this is really beautiful 🌿🌱 Your card is setup similar to ours and we did put in the line of how many seats reserved in their honor (see pic for reference). A lot of our guests just put the number 2 if both wanted the chicken, beef, etc. We put a note at the bottom for dietary restrictions they could add. Hope this helps ❤️

    Oh that's a good idea for dietary restrictions/allergies! I will keep that in mind. I do like the initial because then you can keep track of who wants what. thanks!

    Are you able to customize your reply cards? Even just printing them from Canva/Vistaprint?

    If possible, have 2 lines to check by each option. As well as your other suggestion of number attending be the M___ line confuses everyone. If you can further customize, try to give more detail on the food preparation. What type of chicken/beef? I would still include the veggie option. Make sure to list any dietary restrictions.

    It looks great, but I would remove the part with with CashApp username. Registry/gift information should not go on a wedding invitation. If people want to give you a wedding gift, they will figure out how to mail you a check or ask you for your CashApp/Venmo information on their own.

    You shouldn't have anything about presents on your wedding invitation.

    The line at the bottom with the Cashapp link needs to go. Guests will send you checks or ask for your Cashapp/Venmo info on their own. No mention of registry or gifts should ever be on the invitation. Once you remove that, the invites look great

    If every invitation is for a whole household, M_____________
    with a place for dinner choice, can leave you in a mess. Some people will fill it out Mr and Mrs Bebu. But if that is a family name,
    your father in law, his two bothers, and your groom's brothers, and maybe some cousins, are Mr. and Mrs. Bebu. So you are checking code numbers if you get multiples. Can anyone in the house, the mother in law, and 2 kids, and the couple come? And if someone replies Max,Barbara, Sue, Tim, Bob and 5 different check marks, when you fill out their place card , how do you know which card to put a red line for beef or a gold line for chicken on, for the waitstaff, so they can gather what they need from the placecards without interrupting people to ask what they want? You do not just want total numbers you want to know who orders each meal. If you only are inviting couples not their children, a single line M is too inviting. write in the kids. ............... If almost all of your invitations are for 1 or 2, have 2 lines printed, then some space.name will /will not attend Chicken/ Beef/ Salmon.The few invitations that have 3 to 5 people, you can write in a new choice line. You put a name on the card for each invitee, and they mark whether attending or not, and their meal. I have learned that 10 people in a hundred leave out the name part, if you have not filled it in, and there is a possibility of thinking more people are invited. You put down each name, they check as needed and you can fill out your placecards with your meal code, knowing what person has what meal.

    You could also change the meal selection prompt to say "Please initial your choice of entreé", so your guests remember to choose for everyone attending!

    Many have asked. Where I'm registered. I'm not anywhere. That's why I included that. If people don't have it I still want them to tune in
