RSVP Wording HELP!!

GetThePointe77

Our venue wants to know exactly what each person is eating based on our seating chart, therefore we need some way to know who is ordering which entree from our RSVP. How can we word that so they will initial or write their names so we will know who wants what!

Thanks

On most RSVP cards, there are lines to indicate meal choices.  If you are offering two meal choices, it would look like this............

__ Chicken            __Beef

The guests would place a number next to the entree.  In your case, you could simply say, Please initial your choice.

Some may have additional offerings.....

__Beef     __Vegetarian     __Chicken    __Fish

Just to give you another idea... i did something like this

Name                                                                                          A  B   C
______________________________________________       ☐  ☐  ☐


A- chicken cordon bleu    B- stuffed salmon with crabmeat     C- Chicken tenders (under 10)

ETA: obviously in my rsvp the boxes line up and not off course with the abc.. whoops!

They are all pretty good options. In the end it depends a bit on your format as well (vertical vs horizontal), but it boils down to check boxes.

This post brings to mind something I've been thinking about. We're having a Jewish wedding, Kosher style, but there will be some people who will require special Kosher meals. Should that be an option on the RSVP card, or do we just handle that separately? (We basically already know who will need one already) If we include it, it is going to make the choices a little lengthy, cause we're also going to have beef, salmon, veggie, and kid's options, so listing all 5 would kind of make the card "busy" looking, in my opinion...

Can you make two editions of the card, with "glatt kosher" and "kosher style" on different editions, to be sent respectively to the people with different requirements?

If your RSVP card has space on your option lines, I would highly recommend adding descriptions of the options too. Guests will appreciate more info. Some decisions might change. Like many would be fine with a chicken dish, but hates mushrooms so if that option was chicken Marsala, the may opt for the vegetarian dish.

My RSVP cards say this and not 1 person intialled.  Every single RSVP either has a number or a checkmark.  My caterer isn't a strict as the OP's, but I don't think this is a reliable method.  For the OP's situation, I would put a line for each invitee with the meal options beneath it.
