Wedding invitations

I think “the pleasure of your presence is required” not only sounds odd but...required?
I would take out “at” before the venue and the time.
I think it’s inappropriate to tell people their kids aren’t welcome on the invitation. Address the invite to who is invited and specify how many seats you’ve reserved for them on the RSVP card. If you feel that it’s necessary to explicitly tell guests not to bring their children, your website would be a more appropriate place.
Is there a reason your RSVP deadline is two whole months before the wedding? That’s typically when invitations go out, so this may lead to more declines or an inaccurate head count since many people can’t commit to an event that far in advance.

I'd probably replace "The pleasure of your presence is required" maybe "requested" instead? I don't think you need "at" before the location & time either, it's just an extra word and people will get that it's the place & time of the wedding. Is this an invite or save the date? Typically only save the dates say "formal invitation to follow" and save the dates have WAY less information than this. I would take out the part about kids, and just put it in an FAQ on your wedding website. I'd change the RSVP to say "___ out of ___ attending" and fill out the second line with the # of adults you are inviting. Then address the invite to "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" and not "Smith Family". Is there anyway the RSVP date can be 20-40 days out instead of 60?

I agree with Caytlyn, I would definitely change that first line to "The pleasure of your presence is requested" rather than required. Sounds a little pushy lol. Also agree to remove "at" in front of the ceremony time. I don't think it's necessary to put both number attending and number unable to attend if you've already put the number of seats reserved. I would just stick with "number attending".

View Quoted Comment Hi Caytlyn, thank you for your feedback. The required and the “at” before the venue and time are already two of the changes I have already noted. How long before the wedding should RSVPs be returned?

View Quoted Comment Thank you! It sure does sound pushy to include required lol. I don’t know how I missed that! I will just include the number attending for the RSVPs!

View Quoted Comment I would do 1-2 weeks before your final headcount is due. That should be plenty of time to follow up with those who haven’t RSVPd.

View Quoted Comment Thank you!

I agree with everyone else but like you said, those notes have already been jotted down so no need for me to repeat. I saw you asked about when RSVPs should be returned. I would say anywhere between 2 weeks to a month in advance that way you can still have a little bit of time to reach out to follow up with those who have yet to respond. On our RSVPs, we have how many seats are reserved and then have __ of __ gladly accepts. This is ours:

View Quoted Comment Thank you Jasmine! I like your invites! 😊

No problem! And thank you!

Although I agree about removing the "at" in front of the venue, as far as the "at" in front of time, I wouldn't worry too much about that part. If you want to keep it, go for it. It's personal preference really. A lot of invitation templates are made that way.

View Quoted Comment Hehe! Thank you! I actually do want to remove the “at”. I didn’t realize that I had left it on and I don’t like the way it looks.

LOL no worries.

Can I ask where these are from? The gold dots are our wedding theme so this invite would be perfect!

View Quoted Comment Hi! These are from Etsy! 😊
