RSVP tips
By: Yolanda Nash | Posted: 18th November 2006
"Response cards" are usually included with invitations so the hosts and wedding event planners know how many guests are coming, the quantity of food and beverages are needed, chairs, wedding favors, place card holders and other critical elements of planning the wedding are needed.
When guests do not follow the response card etiquette it can make for quite a stressful situation for everyone involved in planning the wedding.
So here are some quick tips to avoid a stressful RSVP situation.
1. Mail out RSVP's atleast 2 months before your event any longer can result in lost or misplaced RSVP's
2. Include a self addressed stamped envelope with your RSVP
3. Include exact instructions such as how many guests they can bring, directions to the event, date and time of the event, if children are allowed, gifts, and a clear respond by date should all be included.
4. Have your wedding planner or hosts call all prospective guests and ask if they will be attending. This will give you a chance to let the guests know all of the what, when, where and how's of the event.
If you use these tips you should have a clear number of how many guests are attending your event and a very stress free event planner.
