Re: Wording help!

For an adults only reception, you can go about it in a couple of different ways...one way is to use an inner envelope and put the names of the guests who are invited on it. Another is to actually put the number of the adults invited on the response cards (fill in '2' if there is a place on the card that says 'number of guests'). Another more bold way is to have it as part of the invite at the bottom: 'Adults Only Reception' - (I've seen this but IMO I wouldn't do it....)...and another way is to have it as part of the reception card: Adults Only Reception to be held at _____________ etc.

You should have the RSVP date no less than one month to 5 weeks before your wedding date. For example, if your wedding is June 15, you would put May 15 or May 8 as the RSVP date. This gives you time to start your seating chart and if you are under your min, you can invite more ppl if you want...also to chase down the ppl who don't return the RSVP by that date. I did one mo and I wished I had given myself 5 weeks lol.
