Frequently asked questions
What should reception-only rsvp wording make clear?
Use the RSVP to collect attendance for the reception only. Make the response action and deadline obvious, and ask only for information you will genuinely use when planning the wedding.
What should a reception-only RSVP say?
Name the reception or celebration explicitly and ask whether the guest will attend that event. Avoid a generic “wedding RSVP” label if it could imply that the ceremony is included.
Should reception-only rsvp be handled on a printed RSVP card or online form?
Either can work for reception-only 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.
