Response Cards and wording

amandajean36

I have a question about the wording for response cards.  I know the norm is to have the "M_____________" on the card, but I'm not a huge fan of that.  I'm getting married in Vegas and things aren't incredibly formal, so I'm thinking its ok to deviate from the norm a bit.

I'm ok with just having a blank line, or perhaps putting "Name:______" but I have a 'dumb' question...

The majority of our guests are married couples but for a few of the single people or those who are currently in relationships but we don't know the sig other we're going to give them a "plus 1".  How is this addressed on the response cards?  And, do I need to add some sort of other line for them to write out their guest's name?  We will be doing place cards, so I want to be sure to have their names with correct spelling, etc.  Or maybe I'm supposed to call them and ask their guest's name?...

I have no idea.  Please help

I've opted to leave a blank and not start the response space with M. I've told our guests informally whether it's +1....
Hope this helps!

I wouldn't like that either.  I was thinking about this more last night and I might make a line that says "Guest:____________" for those who are getting a "plus1".  I am printing my own invitations, so it shouldn't be a problem.  And there are only like 10 friends who it will effect.

Thanks for the advice!

I am planning on writing in all of my guests' names, and leaving a blank line that says "name of guest" under it for those with a +1 - I'm hoping they will figure out to write in the person's name.

If they have a boyfriend/girlfriend, find out their name and address the invitation to both of them.

If you have people who are truly single coming with guests, include a note telling them they are free to bring a plus 1, just include the name on the response card.
