Wedding guest etiquette includes returning an RSVP card to the wedding couple, or those hosting the wedding. This simple card lets the couple know how many guests to expect, what meals they prefer and any special accommodations that might be needed. Included with the wedding invitation, the RSVP card usually is preaddressed, and stamped, for the guests' convenience.

Things You'll Need

• Stationary and/or vellum
• Decorations
• Printer
• Address labels
• Stamps

Instructions

1. Instructions:

   • 1

     Choose stationary that coordinates with the wedding invitation. Trim the paper to about the size of an index card, or 3 1/2-inches-by-5-inches. Decorate the paper with stamping, glitter or vellum to make it match the rest of the wedding invitation mailings. If the decorated paper will be going directly into a printer, do not add embellishments until after the text has been printed.

     Use a printer to add text to the RSVP card. Print on vellum paper or card stock. Begin the card with a greeting such as, "We look forward to celebrating with you." End with, "Reply before (date)."

   • 3

     Leave a space then start a new line with "Name___________." On the next line write three phrases, " We will attend_______. Number attending______. Regretfully decline________. "

     Selecting a meal option might also be included on an RSVP card. If a hot meal is being served (rather than buffet style), the catering company will need to know how much to prepare. Include one last line with the meal options, and place a line after each one for the guest to write the quantity. Include a vegetarian or diabetic option if possible.

   • 5

     Use a printer to make address labels for all guests. Print three address labels for each guest. Place one on the outer envelope of the wedding invitation, one on the back of the RSVP card and save one for the thank you note. Attach a postcard stamp to the backside of the RSVP card.

   • 6

     Add the RSVP card to the wedding invitation mailing. Place the card behind the invitation and any information about hotels, maps or directions. Place the card with the stamp side facing down, so guests see the text first.
