RSVP Wording?

nicoleandjames

Hello--

I am in the process of designing my invites on weddingpaperdivas.com (Love them BTW)  and need some RSVP Card wording help. We have a strict guest limit of 110 so we are not inviting children and we are not inviting +1s unless it's a significant other.  We are having a buffet, but I still need to know the head count well in advance.  How should I word my RSVP card??? 

Thank you in advance!!!

I did my own invitations and RSVPs too.  To make it clear exactly who was invited, the RSVPs were customized.  Each RSVP was as follows:

Couples:
John and Jane Smith
___ will attend
___ will be unable to attend

Singles w/+1
Jane Smith
___ will attend
___ will attend with guest
___ will be unable to attend

I also sent out an e.mail letting everyone know that as much as we love their children, the venue cannot accomodate them.  I purposely did it by e.mail so that they can't deny being told and others who left the kiddies at home know that any offenders had been told.

I'd normally agree with you on the e.mail lovethebeach16, however, our wedding will be a destination wedding for 95% of our guests who stretch from New England to California.  The e.mail went out after the STDs would have been received.

Thank you everyone!

These ideas really help.

One question, can I have my calligrapher handwrite in each quests name on the RSVP or should I have each printed??

I am planning to handwrite in the names myself.  Having your calligrapher do it would be fine.
