Invitations & RSVP???

midnite007x

I have a few invitation & RSVP questions.....

1. does it matter whose name is on the return address for the invitation and the address to for the RSVP?
2. also does anyone have any ideas or examples they can show me for their RSVP card? i am not sure what goes on this or how it needs to be worded?
3. should "reception to follow" go on the invitation or RSVP card?

1. My return addresses on the outer envelope only had the address and no name (ie. 123 Main Street, Our Town, North Carolina 12345). The RSVP address was my parents, because they were the ones indicated on the invitation as being the host/hostess of the wedding. (ie. Mr. and Mrs. Bride's Parents, 123 Main Street, Our Town, North Carolina 12345)
2. My RSVP cards read:

The favour of a reply is requested
before April 5, 2010
__ Places are reserved for you
M____________
__ Accept with pleasure
__ Decline with regret

I filled in the blank before places reserved for you to let them know that written in + 1 are not acceptable.
3. If you are not having a separate reception card with information, I would put "Reception to follow" at the bottom of the invitation itself with the necessary information.

1. No, it doesn't matter. I had the RSVP's sent to me, since I was the one tracking guest counts. You don't have to have them sent to your parents if they're the ones "hosting" the wedding.

2.

The favor of your reply is requested by the fifth of September     M____________________   ___ delightfully accepts  ___ regretfully declines

3. That part goes on the invitation, since your guests won't be keeping the response card

1. We had a stamp made from Paperwink that we used to stamp the back of our envelopes (bc it doesn't have our last  name we could use it before and after the wedding!)

2. Here is ours: (It was a postcard I designed- all our stuff was postcards- it's the 2nd one on this post)

The 2nd one is the back of the invite

1. We are using our address since we will be tracking the guest count. I don't think it matters either.


2. Here's the wording:

R.S.V.P

The favor of reply is requested by

June 5, 2010.

 

M_________________________

 

                        ___ Accepts with pleasure,

                              Number attending ___

 

                       ___ We regret to decline.

Sorry I couldn't get it to copy normally, but you get the idea.

So I know that this is not normal but to save money we actually aren't sending out RSVP cards.  Instead printed on our invite it says "Kindly respond by April 25, 2010 at www.laurenandderrik.com" so we end up saving over $700 and through our website it automatically keeps track of everyone that has RSVPed.

As for the return address we just have our personal address on the back no name just address and we also included Reception to follow at Grandover Resort.

We're doing the same thing for our RSVPs, all online and for older guests just giving them a call to see if they're coming.  Save money and trees
