Reply cards
and self-addressed envelopes are inserts that you send with your
invitation. These inserts are filled out by your guests and sent
back to you. The cards let you know such information like, who
and how many will attend and/or their meal preference. They are
also known as RSVP Cards and Response Cards. Below are a few different
samples of wording that can be mixed and matched. We are always
looking for new samples. If you're using or know of unique reply
card wording, email it to darsi@frugalbride.com
and don't worry about the graphics, we'll take care of that.
FYI
- M______________
, is where your guests will fill in their names, i.e.: Mr. Jim
and Mary Brown .
- Since it's
not always easy to read handwriting, number all you reply cards
on the back. Use the number beside their name on your guest
list...You have numbered your guest list, right?
- You can
always fill in the names of the guests yourself before mailing.
This helps to insure that everyone knows exactly who's being
invited. Good for adult receptions also.
If your
guests decline, the number line will be empty or you’ll see
“0”
Having accept
& decline lines makes it easier for you and your guests to
figure out.
Your guests
can checkmark with an “X” or
put the number of meals beside each choice.
If the Roast Beef is checked, that means everyone is having it.
Truly the
most confusing for all.
If you choose reply wording like this, expect to see all kinds
of answers:
- Will not attend, will X attend, will “check mark”
attend, will 2 attend....
- I'm not sure what's proper but I write the name of the people
attending and
leave the blank after 'will' blank if I'm going.
- If I can't make it, I fill in the names and write 'not' on the
line.
Perfect
for an adult reception or
for guests that don't understand that only the names
on the outer envelope are invited.
You’re
making it very clear that children are not invited.
