Response card/Reception card

Hi ladies! Stressing out a little about wording here- can you help? would love to see a variety of options for both reception/response cards, as well as what is totally traditional! It was so easy to word the actual invite, but then I got to these cards and was stumped by alot of little things! THANKS!

Re: Response card/Reception card

We left ours mostly blank except for this at the top:

'The favour of a reply is requested by the 15th of September.'

We got a lot of cute responses from our guests. It made it very personal.

Also, try the website verseit.com it has a few different ways and suggestions or just look in the invitation catalogs, that is what I used.

Re: Response card/Reception card

I just did mine! I figured I should spell out the response card so no one leaves out any info. It says We look forward to celebrating with you. Please reply by... M___________
____will _____will not attend
Number of persons_____
The reception card says Cocktail hour to begin at seven Reception immediately to follow and then the name of the hall and address

Re: Response card/Reception card

I did mine a bit different. I had a response card that read

The favour of a handwritten reply is requested by October 1, 2002

The rest of the card was blank- for a personal response. It worked out very nicely.
Hint: Number each of your RSVP envelopes on the inside corner in pencil. Keep track of which guest is which number. This will help you in case someone sends back the card without their name printed on it. That has happened to a few girls.
