Wedding RSVP Card Wording

May 7, 2026

The RSVP card is important. Use clear wording to get the information you need.

The RSVP card must be clear. Include a line for guests to write their names. Include check boxes for "Accepts with pleasure" and "Declines with regret." Include a line for dietary restrictions. Include a line for song requests. Number the back of each RSVP card in invisible ink. People forget to write their names. This helps you identify them. Include a stamped envelope addressed to you. Make it easy. Set a clear deadline. "Kindly reply by May 1, 2026." Do not make the RSVP card a postcard. It can be lost in the mail. For a casual wedding, use online RSVPs only. Create a free wedding website with an RSVP form.
