Wording of your REPLY card

What was the wording of your reply card? I know reply cards are considered tacky or an etiquette no-no but clearly they are a necessary evil.

So how did you word yours?

I have two options, one is to use:
The favor of a reply is requested by August 16th.
M________________________
____ Accepts with pleasure
____ Declines with Regrets

The second option is to just have 'The favor of a reply is requested by August 16th' and leave it as a blank note to fill in their own message.

THOUGHTS?????????

I did it like the first one....if you do the second one...people may forget to write something

I used the first one. It is kind of 'idiot proof'.

'I know reply cards are considered tacky or an etiquette no-no '
Where did you hear that? I have never heard that. How else are you supposed to know who is coming or not?

This is what ours will look like. Ryan from Above and Beyond designed them.

this is the one i did, so they wrote out the names

i like it with accepts/regrets on there

this is ours

i like the first one too....although my mom wasn't thrilled with this, this is what i did:

The favor of a reply is requested by August 16th.

M________________________
Will ____________Attend
_____ number of guests

i like the whole # of guests thing so no one can sneak in any extra people...which i've seen happen at other weddings!

i like the first one too...i do love the idea of messages though. i almost added an extra space for people to do it but it started to get too cluttered. turns out people wrote their own messages anyway.

With the exception of the design, that is what mine looks like too. I needed idiot proof. I don't have patience to try to figure out what people's little clues might be.

Kindly respond by June 10, 2008

Emily Post. Supposedly people were always meant to either call in their RSVP or better yet write a handwritten note of acceptance. However, since most people are clueless the reply cards are really necessary these days. For formal weddings the blank card (Just the 'favor of a reply is requested' sentence on the top) is supposedly more suitable ... but I am afraid no one will know what to write ... !
