When creating custom RSVP cards for weddings, it’s important to include the following key details to ensure smooth planning:
These essential details will help streamline the process of gathering your RSVPs and planning for your wedding day.
What do you say in a wedding RSVP?
In your RSVP, politely ask guests to confirm whether they will be attending and if they have any meal preferences or dietary restrictions. Including a deadline for replies is a must.
What is proper etiquette for wedding RSVP?
Proper RSVP etiquette involves sending RSVP cards well in advance and providing guests with a clear deadline. Always include a pre-addressed and stamped envelope or instructions for an online RSVP.
Do people still use RSVP cards for weddings?
Yes, RSVP cards remain a popular choice for formal and traditional weddings. However, many couples now offer both physical RSVP cards and digital options for convenience.
How far in advance should I send wedding RSVP cards?
Send your wedding RSVP cards 6-8 weeks before the wedding and ask guests to respond at least 2-4 weeks before the event. This timeline gives you enough time to finalize your guest count.
Can I request dietary preferences on my RSVP cards?
Yes, it’s common to ask guests for dietary preferences or restrictions, especially if your wedding includes a formal meal.
Do you send RSVP cards with wedding invitations?
Yes, it's traditional to include RSVP cards with your wedding invitations. This allows guests to easily confirm their attendance and provide any necessary details, like meal preferences or special requests. Including a pre-addressed and stamped envelope or instructions for an online RSVP makes it convenient for your guests to respond. By pairing your response cards with your invitations, you ensure everything is cohesive and organized, which helps streamline your wedding planning.
Do you send RSVP cards with save the dates?
No, RSVP cards are not sent with save the dates. Save the dates are typically mailed 6–8 months before the wedding to give guests a heads-up about the event. RSVP cards are sent later with the formal wedding invitations, usually 6–8 weeks before the wedding, allowing guests enough time to confirm their attendance and provide any necessary details, such as meal preferences.
What is the standard size for RSVP cards?
The standard size for RSVP cards is typically 3" x 5". This compact size is ideal for including with your wedding invitations and efficiently gathering guest responses. Shutterfly offers customizable wedding reply cards in this size to match your wedding theme and ensure all your stationery fits together perfectly.
