Response Card Wording

Haha Can you tell what I am working on today?

So the way it is now:
The courtesy of your response is requested prior to the sixth of October
M______________ (name line)
___ Accepts with Pleasure
___ Declines with Regret
___ Number of Guests Attending


I REALLY do NOT want to leave it like that. I don't want them to free hand write in the number because I'm scared of what will come back to me. Will they put ONE when they mean TWO thinking that guests is their guests? Will they put 5 then ask for a 6th? HAHAHA CAN YOU TELL WHERE I GOT THESE EXAMPLES FROM??

WHAT ARE YOUR SUGGESTIONS FOR ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS??

i would put..x seats have been reserved in your honor

then put the space where they can put in the numbr..kwim?

so they have to fill it in incase only one is coming or something but yet they kow how many u invited

There is no number on it. It says
We have reserved seats in your honour.
Should that be 2 seats?

Your pic helps though. I never thought to put the names on there.

I didn't put the number attending line..... I am hoping ppl use their brains! I was afraid the line would give people free reign and think, Oh, I can bring someone?

---

So how do you know if they are going solo or with someone? For seating and total head count purposes?

It's a blank card. I wrote with my calligraphy pens the number of seats reserved, which eliminated the problem of how many guests are invited entirely. I left it for them to write the names of whomever was coming and I numbered the backs, I just wrote how many are invited.

Well, every RSVP card I ever got you just wrote the names of ppl coming on the line. So I am assuming people know the deal!

We'll see though!

OOO, my sample invite just has a short line for a check or a number. It's DEF not long enough for a name.

Oh.... I meant on the M______________ line

I've seen it done both ways

Honestly I think people would screw it up either way, so I don't think it matters!!

Damn, I like that: '___ Seats have been reserved for you' wording. I really wish I would've put that on mine...

I already had an issue with a friend who was invited (and single), bringing a guest

We've only had one issue with that and it's cause he lost the invite and the rsvp card. It also helps when you don't want little kiddos running around. Can't spell it out any clearer than that.

Mine had the names pre-printed so the invitees knew exactly who was invited. If I invited them with guest it says John Doe & Guest.

2 seats have been reserved for you at our wedding and reception.

Yes, ____ of us will be attending
____ We are unable to attend

So far I haven't had any problems.

My RSVP said this:

We hope you will be able to share in our special day of joy and celebration.
Please let us know before
12 August 2009

You are right, you can't leave the amount attending blank. You may get a response for 8. Good Luck!
