FAQs for Wedding Response Cards

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?

Do you send RSVP cards with wedding invitations?
Yes, it's traditional to include RSVP cards with your wedding invitations.

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.
