What Is a Wedding RSVP Card?

A Wedding RSVP Card is usually attached to a formal wedding invitation and is usually sent out several weeks before the wedding. The purpose of the card is for guests to respond regarding their attendance to a wedding. This is extremely important for the newlyweds - do not simply assume that if you do not reply, it is a signal that you will not attend. Even if you cannot make it to the event, you should still inform the hosts by responding to the RSVP card and mailing it back to the couple.

Alternate Name:

  • Wedding Invitation RSVP Card.

By doing this, the couple will have an accurate idea of how many people will be in attendance at the wedding. This information can help them plan their wedding day and prepare all of the necessary elements including tables, seating areas, transport, food and drinks. If more people turn up than expected, the hosts risk guests not getting enough food or them having nowhere to sit for example. If less people than expected turn up, it means that the hosts have spent unnecessary extra costs that could have been avoided.

If you are considering making your own RSVP card, ensure that you use the correct Wedding RSVP Card wording which should include the name of the invited guest, a deadline date and sometimes even an option to choose the main course. You also want to make sure you get the Wedding RSVP Card size right, ensuring they are compact enough to fit into the envelope. The standard size is 4.5x5.5 inches.
