Re: RSVP buffet with kids meal

  • I would just call the families with kids and let them know about a kids option. Having that on your RSVP might indicate to some families that kids are invited, even if you aren't inviting that person's kids, if that makes sense. 

    We had about 7 kids at our wedding, and just called the families to ask - it took no time at all, and we had no confusion on the RSVPs. 
  • Also, for the card, I'd do this:


    Please reply by the twenty fifth of October (no year)
    Name(s)______
    ___number attending
    ___declines

    We have A LOT of children invited to our wedding...probably 30 plus! I dont think there are any families that their children are not invited.

    </div><div>Can the kids meal choices just be included on the main buffet then? If there are that many kids, I guess it just makes more sense to me to have kid friendly options included anyway. </div><div>
    </div><div>If you do include the kids thing on RSVPs, I'd word it like this:</div><div>
    </div><div>___number attending</div><div>___declines</div><div>         ___number of children's meals requested</div><div>
    </div><div>Even if the kids stuff is part of the buffet, I think its better to word it in relation to food rather than just asking how many kids under 10 - because if you're inviting the kids, you'd already know the ages, ya know? </div><div>
