RSVP Date ? & Invite Help

Okay these invites are driving me nuts.
Or maybe I am just nuts already.

If I send my invitations next week on the 10th, would a month be ok for the rsvp? I don't know how long you have to give people?

Oh and if any one have any suggestions for the wording on those damn little response cards. I do not want to leave room for their interpretation on how many & who else they can cram into the invite..lol.

I was going to put something like:
'The favour of a reply is requested before the eleventh of April” or some other suggestion?

___ seats have been reserved for you
___ Accepts with Pleasure __Declines with Regret

Complete names of persons attending

& for the life of me, I am drawing a blank on exactly what goes on a the reception card beside well there is a reception. haha.

so SOS ladies.

Here is what my response cards say:

Kindly respond on or before March 27, 2008

Will attend_____

Will not attend_____

I figured it doesn't really give anyone the option of adding people... you're either coming or you're not, and your inner envelope specifies WHO is invited!! Let's hope my guests see it the same way.

Oh, and my reception card:

Please join us for a Reception
at six o'clock in the evening
Majestic Gardens
address
city, state

Thanks Ladies. Did you actually write their names on the card? or left is blank for the to write out

I do not have an inner envelop & I am truly contemplating doing so. Since I was doing a pocketfold the company I ordered it from said it was unnecessary. I actually was thinking of putting something on the outside of the pocketfold to indicate the names of those invited.

I wouldn't put in that bit about 'complete names of people attending' because I've heard too many stories on LIW of people writing in the names of all their children, their kids' nanny, etc. and you'll end up with more people than you actually invited!

We put:

We look forward to celebrating with you.
Please respond by May 14, 2008.
