RSVP Wording in Korean

purdymi107

I'm having a wedding where half the invitees are Korean. They usually do not RSVP for weddings and I was thinking that, maybe, if the RSVP cards were written in Korean they would. Because Koreans normally do not RSVP nor send out RSVP cards I'm having a hard time finding the appropriate wording on the web. Is there anyone out there who's done this before??

There's an Asian weddings board I think to the left in the Cultural Wedidngs link. I think I saw someone on here who did and they said they were surprised when it worked out. But I don't know anyone Korean so I can't give first hand experience.

Honestly, if this were my relatives, this wouldn't work. They tend to listen better when something is told right into their ears, as opposed to in writing. Not by you, either. It has to be by one of your parents, spreading the word and pointing out the importance of the RSVP. I'm Korean and I plan on having my mom verbally communicate to her siblings that RSVPs ensure they don't starve on the wedding day. Her siblings will pass on the word to my cousin, etc. Koreans have a tendency to wait until the last minute to update others on an appointment. In that time, they might forget to even send an RSVP even though they read your Korean wording and understood. I would just have someone pester them for a reply.
