You've planned the invitation design, the invitation wording, and which stamp to use. Now there's just one more small but important detail that's critical for getting guests to RSVP - the response card. Here's advice as to what should a response card say, the etiquette of response cards, and other ways for guests to RSVP.

Thank you so much. I am making the invitations and RSVP cards for my best friends wedding and your blog was VERY helpful.
can i put the name on the respond card before mailing them out, i’m afraid people won’t put there name and i won’t know who it is from.
How can I politely word the RSVP to indicate that no children are allowed.
Romeo – The most explicit way is “Adults Only Reception.” But you could also address the invitation to just the adults, and include a separate sheet with information on local babysitters.
Is there a best time to respond? 1) Immediately, 2)In a wee or so,
3) Within the week after receiving invite, 4) Whe is best?Thank you. Judith
Judith – The sooner a couple receives an RSVP card, the better. It allows them to start seating arrangements, better estimate costs, and complete DIY projects.
Wonderful article! That is the type of information that are supposed to be shared across the web.
Disgrace on the seek engines for not positioning this post higher!
Come on over and talk over with my website .
