Response card wording.... I need help

I need some help ladies.  I was wondering how your worded your response cards for guests when you are offering a plated meal and the gust needs to indicate thier meal choice.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I had issues with this too...if you want to PM me your email address, I can send you a PDF of our draft response card with meal choices on it :)

    Little Moments has great ideas for this too - when I had this problem, she emailed me samples of hers which were super helpful as well.

    I have this exactly but instead of dietary needs I have a vegetarian option.

    Yeah, we were going to just do a vegetarian option but I have a FSIL with a gluten and dairy allergy, friends who are vegan, friends who are vegetarian, and friends who are pescatarian. Dietary needs just seemed simpler, haha.

    Meagan, when I come to your wedding, please use no oil, add lots of cheese, I would prefer mahi mahi over trout, and please hold the onions. Thank you.

    JUST. KIDDING. I really hope you don't get those types of responses, though.

    </div><div>agghhh FI said almost the same exact thing! Luckily we're expecting ~100 people or less so I don't <em>think</em> that will happen. With food allergies being so prevelant and living in the land of hippies, I just wanted to be safe. Let's hope I don't end up eating my words :-/.

    This is what we used as well, minus the dietary needs part (small wedding, close family/friends, there aren't any strict dietary needs and if something has arisen I'm not aware of, we're close enough that they would mention it beside their meal choice anyway.)

    ETA: Whoops, just realized I'm in July brides instead on June! Oh well, hopefully I still contributed.
