Frequently asked questions

What should limited capacity rsvp wording make clear?

Use the RSVP to make guest numbers clear where capacity is limited. Make the response action and deadline obvious, and ask only for information you will genuinely use when planning the wedding.

How can RSVP wording help when venue capacity is tight?

Use named guests, fixed seat counts and a firm deadline. Avoid open household totals or vague plus-one fields, because they can accidentally turn a limited invitation into a negotiable number.

Should limited capacity rsvp be handled on a printed RSVP card or online form?

Either can work for limited capacity rsvp. Use rsvp card, online rsvp form, wedding website or reminder message and choose the format that makes this particular answer easy for guests to give and easy for you to manage. Conditional questions or longer free-text answers are usually cleaner online.
