________________________________
Pro Tip: Keep It Simple
Don't overwhelm with options. Three entrée choices max, and a single line for dietary notes works perfectly. Your caterer will appreciate the clarity!

Set a Clear Deadline
Always include a specific date. "Please respond by June 15th" is clearer than "Please respond soon." Give yourself 3-4 weeks before the wedding.
Match Your Invitation Style
If your invitation is formal, keep the RSVP formal. If it's playful, let the RSVP be fun too. Consistency creates a cohesive experience.
Be Specific About Plus-Ones
Address invitations to exactly who's invited. "Sarah Johnson and Guest" is clear. Avoid confusion with "___ of ___ will attend."
Include a Contact Option
Add a phone number or email for guests who have questions. "Questions? Text Sarah at [number]" removes barriers.
Keep Dietary Questions Simple
One open-ended question works better than a checklist. Let guests tell you what they need rather than listing every allergy.
Consider Your Audience
Grandma might not scan a QR code. Consider offering both digital and traditional options for mixed-generation guest lists.
