Girls who sent out invites already

did you use an invisible pen on the rsvp cards, or number them lightly in pencil in case guests didn't put their names on them?

I'm stuffing my invites, and wondering if this is really necessary?

I have never heard of this before... do people often forget to put their name on the line?

I ordered an invisible pen today on ebay for 4 bucks, free shipping. If it was something expensive, I'd probably do the pencil thing. HTH

I don' t think it happens very often, but I have heard stories of guests that didn't write their name on the line or filled it out incorrectly and then you have no clue who the rsvp is from. Numbering them helps you figure out who it was from.

I put it on the inside of the RSVP card in light pencil.

I sent them out about 7-8 weeks before the RSVP date.
