How is this RSVP wording?

SmallenForever

I'm having trouble with my RSVP wording. I really need the # attending slot on there. Just trying to make it look correct. How is this?

The favor of a reply is requested by

January 31^st, 2013

___ will attend ___ number attending

 

___ cannot attend

I'd simplify it by just doing ___number attending ___cannot attend. That's what we did and it worked well. People don't need to check that they are attending and then also include the numbers - having them just fill in numbers should be enough. 

Also, the year isn't necessary in the date, but you can keep it if you want

Instead of "Number of Persons___ " I'd just say "____ Number Attending".

I'd also stick with your original wording of "a reply is request by" rather than "on or before". It's just a lot simpler.
