Wedding RSVP Wording Examples: 160 Ideas For Every Wedding Style & Situation
Your RSVP card may be one of the smallest pieces of wedding stationery, but it plays one of the most important roles.
A well-worded RSVP card helps you gather guest responses, meal choices, dietary requirements and attendance information while matching the style of your wedding invitations.
Whether you're planning a formal black-tie celebration, a relaxed countryside wedding, a destination wedding abroad or a modern minimalist event, the wording on your RSVP card can help set the tone for the rest of your wedding stationery.
In this guide, you'll discover hundreds of RSVP wording examples, etiquette tips and response card ideas to help you create the perfect RSVP card for your wedding.
What Is An RSVP Card?
An RSVP card is included with your wedding invitation and allows guests to confirm whether they will attend your wedding.
The term RSVP comes from the French phrase:
Répondez s'il vous plaît
which means:
"Please respond."
Traditionally, RSVP cards are returned by post, although many modern couples now collect responses through wedding websites and online forms.
What Should An RSVP Card Include?
Most RSVP cards include:
✓ Guest names
✓ Acceptance or decline options
✓ RSVP deadline
Optional additions include:
✓ Meal choices
✓ Dietary requirements
✓ Song requests
✓ Guest count
✓ Wedding website details
When Should Wedding RSVPs Be Due?
Most couples request RSVPs:
Local Weddings
4–6 weeks before the wedding
Destination Weddings
8–12 weeks before the wedding
Large Weddings
6–8 weeks before the wedding
This gives enough time to finalise guest numbers with venues and suppliers.
