Response card wording? Please help-

I know there have been lots of posts for how to word invitations, but what about how to word formal response cards?

Do you say:

The favour of a reply is requested by (date).
M_______
will______ attend

Other formal suggestions?

Thanks!

I did:

please respond by ____, 2005

M_____________
will ____ attend

I did:

The favor of a reply is requested by_(Date)__

M__________________________

_2__ Seats have been reserved in your honour.

____ Yes, ____ will attend

____No, we regret we can not accept


I would reccommend not using this style, it was very confusing to the guests.

I had the blank ones

that said 'the favour of your relpy is requested by Nov 10th'

and then blank- people wrote nice notes- one one messed it up-

Ours say:

'____ places have been reserved in your honor

Kindly respond on or before Jan. 17, 2007

M_______________________
____ accepts with pleasure
____ declines with regret'

We did:

The favor of a reply is requested by_(Date)__

M__________________________


____ ccepts with pleasure
____Declines with regret

Also our RSVP cards were the fold over kinds, so we got lots of nice messages on the insdie of the card

PS: I would reccommend not usingthe blank style, our friends did this on their invites in December and so many of us did not know what to do. it jsut said

The favor of a reply is requested by_(Date)__

and nothing else

Mine says

The favor of a reply is requested by_(Date)__

M__________________________

Number of Persons____________


Im not sure if I'll write in the number of persons or let them
