Response Card

It can be a little confusing when the invitation shows up with all of these cards, instructions, directions, and Lord knows what else is in that envelope! So here are some tips and your responsibility with the Response Card to make opening that envelope a little easier!

1. Sign your name on the Response Card. The M_______________ is intended for you to add your salutation, Mr., Mrs., Ms., or Miss so the couple knows how to address anything with your name on it.

2. Accept or Decline with a check mark or X unless the wording reads something like "There are 6 seats reserved in your honor ___ will attend ___will not attend. Then you would place the number attending/not attending in the blanks.

3. If they are asking how many guests, what type of entree you would like, etc. include that and send back as soon as possible. There is usually a send back date, but its really nice for the bride to have it before then, especially if you can not make it.

4. If you have forgotten to RSVP, please do not send it in the mail last minute! Notify the person that is receiving the responses as soon as possible.

5. Please be courteous to the bride & groom. Weddings are not inexpensive, so let the couple know what your status is if it changes. Contact them especially if you are not coming, they may be able to add someone in that they were unable to, due to guest number constraints.

6. Try not to discuss your invitation to the wedding with others that you aren't sure if they have been invited, there are many times when feelings get hurt because of people asking if someone has received their invite. Help the bride and groom avoid the stress of explanation.

6. When in doubt, ask!!!
