XP: RSVP wording

I need some input on our RSVP wording, please.  We have to find out who wants each entree so I can indicate it on their escort card at the reception venue.  I'm not 100% satisfied with what I have so far, but here it is.  Suggestions appreciated!

We look forward to celebrating with you.
Please reply before July 9, 2011

Re: XP: RSVP wording

  • that seems like a lot of words. I just sent in a RSVP card instead of words for the food, they had pictures of a fish or a steak etc. and next to it a place to write the #. Ive never seen it that the venue had to know which guest had what. Ive only ever seen Table 2 has 3 fish and 4 beef.

    M______________________-
    ___chicken ___ beef ___ fish___ regrets
    ___ children's meal

    If you don't have tons of kids on your list, you can just call after their parents' RSVP comes in and ask which meal they want.

    There are only about ten kids on our guest list who would want a children's meal, and some of them live in the same household.  We don't have a meal option on our cards, but I'll call to see who wants chicken fingers and mac & cheese.

    Kindly reply by thisdate

    __accepts __regrets

    Please initial meal choice:
    __Fillet ___Sea Bass ___Vegetarian

    And we're sticking a note in the invites with kids about indicating how many they need, since it was wordy to begin with and there aren't that many kids.
