RSVP card help?!?!

Ashlee , on December 21, 2015 at 6:35 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 11

So confused how to make the RSVP card. So- I want it to have names on it, know how many are coming to the reception/or declining, and the names of the people coming or declining. How do I do this with blanks, yes/no area, etc. Also- its adults only so that is at the bottom of the RSVP as well. HELP! We are using basicinvite.com so its easy to change up.

    I haven't made my yet, but in this case, I would honestly just google "Wedding RSVP card" and find a style/wording you like. There are SO many examples out there. And it sounds like you know what you want on the card. I would just find a google image that has a set that you visually like.

    I'm confused as to why you need the names of the people attending or declining, you should know the names of the people you sent them to. Usually, for the sake of sanity, you should lightly pencil in a number on the back of the card that corresponds to your guest list. The way you address the invitation will indicate it is an adult only reception, no need to add that.

    Usually it is something like -

    Please RSVP by 6/15/16

    ______________________ (this is where either you or they write their name)

    _____ Accepts

    _____ Declines

    If necessary you would then add blanks for who is choosing which food choice

    Please indicate your meal selection below

    ____ Beef

    ____ Chicken

    ____ Fish

    We are having an adult-only wedding but it's not necessary to put that on the RSVP card. You just address the invitation to exactly who you are inviting (Mr. and Mrs. Smith, rather than the Smith Family), and indicate # of seats reserved on the RSVP card. Hopefully if a couple sees that 2 seats are reserved in their honor, they will understand that to mean there are no kids invited. Here's a quick example I found just by googling "RSVP card."

    I am having an adults only wedding as well and I put that information on the wedding website. I am filling in the number when I send out the invites so that the "We have reserved __ seats in your honor" will already have a number so they know not to bring additional people. I have read tips on here that you can write a number on the back of the RSVP card that corresponds with the invite you send out so that if they don't put their name you can still know who sent it back.

    We didn't use RSVP cards... we said to either go to our wedding website (through wedding wire) or call us to RSVP (for the old people). It worked out great because you can only RSVP for people who are invited Smiley smile

    If you are wanting to include the names because you want it to be clear who is invited, you can put on the RSVP card

    _____ seats have been reserved in your honor

    Then you can avoid having to type out or write out everyone's names and just put the number on the card.

    I agree with @MzRosaLu. My RSVP is very similar to the one she posted, and our reception is mostly adults. (We're only inviting the children within our families.) So we really can't make a note that it's adult only, because technically it's not.

    But be very specific in addressing your envelopes, and if you can have a blank somewhere on your RSVP card where you yourself can fill in the number of people invited--I think that's the best option.

    Mine is similar to MzRosaLu, Jana, and Nicole. Also having Adults Only and with a 230-person guest list, we wanted no confusion as to who was invited. I'll be filling in the names on each card and number of seats reserved. All they'll have to do is check whether they're coming.

    Here's a tip if you want to easily keep track of the RSVP cards without cluttering them up with names. On the back of the RSVP card, put a number that correlates to your guest list. This way you don't have to have your guests write their names in and you can cross-reference with the list at home to see who is coming and who has not done their RSVP. Makes the work a lot easier for you. We are also going to color the number red and blue to represent the whether they are on the groom's side or the bride's. Helps to narrow the list down and make it easier to check people off.

    We had a small wedding so I typed in the names and how many seats were reserved, and they just had to check whether they were coming or not and put how many.
