Wedding RSVP wording & Response card samples, Etiquette

Wedding invitations are used to invite your guests to attend a wedding/wedding reception, thus, you need to know whether your guests come or not. In order to know that, you have to mail your wedding invitations with response cards about 6 weeks before your wedding date. For the details about response card etiquette, we collect some samples of response cards to help you get a rough understanding about it.

The response card is typically the smallest card accepted by the postal service and usually is in the same style with your invitation. You can indicate the number of people who will attend your wedding on the response card. And if you use response card, it needs to be easy for your guests to understand and use. And you¡¯d better include a self-addressed return envelope so your guest can easily send the response card back to you.
