RSVP cards - how have you worded yours if doing your own?

I bought little luggage labels and had a stamp made on Vista print. The stamp says:

Names........................

Will Be Attending...........

Will Not Be Attending.....

Hopefully this will prompt people to put all the names.

Are you having menu choices on the RSVP? If you are, then you could have the standard yes/no then below that ask for them to state their meal choices, and who is having what. Also include a line for if the children will be eating an adult meal or require an alternative. This would tell you if they are coming or not, but to be honest, I always return my RSVP cards with an Acceptance card anyway stating "Mr ATB and I are delighted to accept your kind invitation....." So if I was invited with children and wasn't bringing them, I'd mention this in the note.

I always find in relation to kid and weddings - parents do what they want anyway so you'll probably end up with some who've said kids are coming getting a last minute babysitter and only parents attending, then others who've said they weren't bringing children changing their minds and bringing them. Hence why I don't do kids at weddings!

Hi

No, we're not having menu choices. The package we got is just a set meal (which will probably cause a load of hassle with people in itself but tough ? ) so we dont need the choices bit.

I think maybe i'll probably just put a yes/no and then perhaps leave a line and ask people to specify the names of who is attending. After all i'll need names for the table plan so i don't suppose asking for specifics would be that unusual.

Arrggghhh who knows!! Bloomin' weddings ?

It is normal to have a space for people to write who is attending, as otherwise you wouldn't know who the RSVP is from.

We had a space for people to write their names as well as spaces to specify dietary requirements, wine choice and a song choice for the evening.

All our RSVP cards were going to be personalised so everyones names were already on it but i suppose we could do them as generic ones so they have to fill the names in.

Thanks

I think i'll do the song choice too like you Kharv although with my friends and family i dread to think what i'll get back!

We did veto some - just didn't tell them ?

Loveshack being one that springs to mind.
