The wording can be formal or informal and we suggest the very simple: You need to give them space to write their name(s) and give them an easy way to accept or decline. If you are going to use the RSVP card as a means for guests to respond, the card needs to be addressed and stamped. If your response deadline is too far in advance – say 6 weeks or more – you may have more changes of plans or less respondents as some people are unable to plan that far in advance due to work commitments etc. You can work back from when your suppliers need final numbers – if the venue needs 2 weeks, give yourself a week before the deadline to chase non-responders.
The timescale for responses should be round about 3 weeks before your wedding day.
