Reply Card Help

Hello All, I have a little question. My fiance and I are offering two seperate entrees at our wedding. One is a beef plate the other is a chicken plate. I am unsure how to word our reply cards with this information. Should we put a place on the card with:
Number attending____   cannot attend_____

chicken____   beef____ child's plate____

or should we just get the same amount of beef plates and chicken plates? And not even ask our guests? I am confused, please help!

  • We said, "please initial next to your choice of entree" I believe. Plus ___accepts _____ declines.

  • Same as Mery. Depending on your caterer, you may need not only numbers, but some sort of indication of who gets what.

    Ours is going to be
    with:
                                                                                      Chicken    Beef    Child
    _________ is attending____   cannot attend_____           O           O         O
    _________ is attending____   cannot attend_____           O           O         O
    _________ is attending____   cannot attend_____           O           O         O
    _________ is attending____   cannot attend_____           O           O         O

    Our venue requires you to have different color name cards for each entre, so we have match person to food choice.  But if they didn't care, I would just do numbers.

    EDIT - Ours will be on one line, but you get the idea.
