Wedding RSVP Wording Generator

Frequently Asked Questions

What should be included on an RSVP card?

Include: response deadline date, accept/decline options, guest name line, number of guests attending, meal choice (if applicable), and how to respond (mail back, website, email, or phone).

When should the RSVP deadline be?

Set your RSVP deadline 3-4 weeks before your wedding. This gives you time to finalize counts with vendors and follow up with guests who haven't responded.

Should I include meal choices on the RSVP card?

Yes, if you're offering meal options. List 2-3 choices clearly (e.g., "Chicken, Fish, or Vegetarian") with a checkbox next to each. This helps your caterer prepare accurate quantities.

How do I word an online RSVP?

Online RSVPs can be more casual and interactive. Include the same information as a card, but you can add fields for dietary restrictions, song requests, and guest messages.

What if someone brings uninvited guests?

Be clear on your RSVP about who is invited. Use "We have reserved ___ seats in your honor" or address envelopes specifically to invited guests only to avoid confusion.

Should I include a plus one option?

Only if you've decided that guest can bring someone. If offering plus ones, include "and guest" on the envelope and RSVP card so they can write the name of their companion.
