Online RSVP services are extremely convenient and easy to use. Some of the most popular wedding planning websites like The Knot offer seamless integration with your wedding website so not only can guests quickly respond online, they can check out the rest of what your wedding website has to offer.

Sounds pretty sweet, right? Online RSVP services are quick, easy and usually free.

So what about those response cards that typically accompany a wedding invitation suite? You can still send traditional paper response cards that your guests return by mail. You may also skip a paper response card and instead add a note to your wedding invitations that asks your guests to submit their RSVP on your wedding website.

Before deciding to take your RSVPs online, ask yourself one very important question: are most of your wedding guests capable of submitting their reply online?

It might feel like everyone has a smart phone in their pocket, but carefully think about your guests that may not. Make sure you’re giving them an alternative way to let you know whether or not they’ll be attending.

Adding your phone number is an easy solution. You can also add paper response cards to those guests that you think may appreciate one. We have a whole collection of wedding invitations that come with free respond postcards, so you won’t have to spend extra to provide guests with a mail-in option.

Here are some examples of online RSVP wording. You may print the message right on your wedding invite or include a separate information card in your envelope.

If you want to make it clear that you’re having an adults-only wedding, we have two options. This first one lets you write in the number of people that you’re inviting. This helps make it clear to the recipient that you’ve reserved one, two, three, four, etc. spots for them. If they are a family of six, but you’re written in ‘2’, they’ll get the drift!

Another option is to say it very clearly –

If you’d like to include a traditional card and give guests the option to reply online instead of mailing it in, you can word it like this –

Kindly reply by September 10, 2024
by mailing this card or replying online
www.meghanandfrank.com
Name __________
___ Persons attending

If you prefer to include your phone number as an alternative, this wording works wonderfully –

Kindly reply
by September 10, 2024
at our wedding website:

or by calling (305) 213-2857

 

We hope this helps you navigate the sometimes complicated world of wedding invitation wording.

Best wishes from the team at Ann’s!
