RSVP tip: Black light pen!

Wanted to let you ladies know about a tip someone told me. I think most of us know to write a number on the back of RSVP cards, so we can look up who it is from if one is returned without a name, but I went a step further.

I ordered a black light pen and it just arrived, and it works great! It came with two pens, and they each have a small black light at the end. I can write the guest's full name on the back of the RSVP and shine the light if it comes back unlabeled. It cost me $3 shipped on Amazon.

Below is a pic of the card without the light shining, and then with. I feel like a Harry Potter character...lumos!

    Great tip!

    But I'm just going to assign each invitation couple a number and write the number small on the back of the RSVP card...

    Funny AprilBride...my number system just had to do with alphabetized names not who was more important or least important.

    Is it possible for you to share the link on which pens you ordered from Amazon?

    Here you go, Alicia. I ordered the cheapest color option, which came out to $2.53 with free shipping.

    It ships from Hong Kong and says it could take 6 weeks to arrive, but I got mine in under a week!

    I didn't even think about the "ranking" system type thing. Ours actually weren't in alpha order, so it was literally how quickly we thought of someone to add to the guest list.... so, I would be a bad example of why the numbers on the back (in plain, but small sight) wouldn't be the best idea, hehe.
