Wording of RSVP card

MrsBad13

So I want to make sure the wording on the RSVP card makes scense and not complicated..here is what I have

R S V P

The favour of a reply is requested on or before April 26th

Mr John, Mrs Joe, Ms, Lucy and Mr Doe

__ Yes, Joyfully Accepts

__No, but will send love in spirit

__of__ will be attending

or should I say 

There are 4 seats reserved in your honor

__Yes, Joyfully Accepts

__No, but will send love in spirit

__of__ will be attending (should I not put this in there ?)

I like the second one but they may take it as you telling them who can come but then again you dont want like 50 ppl trying to be included on the rsvp....uuummmm if i had to choose id do number 1

If you are on a budget and trying to stick to a certain amount of guests I would say 2. However if your really not concerned about how many people you intend to invite then I would definitely go with the first one. There's really nothing wrong with either one, it just all depends on how lenient you are with your guest count

this one.   even if you're not on a budget, the creative types are gonna find a way to plump up your guest list.   anyone whose ever been to a wedding ever in life knows this means i'm talking to YALL not you, the kids and the dog.   don't help em girl.

As I am on a very strict budget especially since FI and I are making this move down south we are really pinching pennys here. Thank God I have 2 jobs. 

So Ill probably go with option 2. That way if they try and add more ppl I can call and say No, You only have 4 seats, read the FAQ card and check website FAQ page Thank you as I smack lips, roll my eyes and snap my neck lol

Mine is similar to the latter....blank seats reserved in your honor...yes/ no and rsvp date

Thanks for this because I've been wondering the same thing!

I prefer the 2nd one. I also like the ___/(seats reserved) will be attending because this allows you to know the number of persons attending/not attending in that particular party. 

I would fill out for them the max number of seats for the ___/_4__ will be attending. They can fill out how many will be attending out of the "four" if it isn't all. 

Don't forget to number your RSVPs on the back and have correlated list with the same numbering system just incase those people do not put names or return addresses, etc.
