"Since Paul and I are each in a wedding in May, we&amp;#39;ve recently received two (very beautiful!) wedding invitations. But they reminded me to share this reminder about wedding response cards...\nWhat You Should Include on Wedding Response CardsA space for your wedding guests to write in their names. One set of friends forgot this. A Facebook post and a verbal reminder at the bridal shower urged guests to write their names somewhere, anywhere, but unfortunately, there probably will still be people who don&amp;#39;t mention who they are before stuffing their RSVP into the provided envelope. And that&amp;#39;s why you should also include\u2026\nA tiny number on the back of the response card. Even if you do remember the space for guests to write in their names, some people forget to spell out who they are. It&amp;#39;ll take some extra time, but make a list of everyone who&amp;#39;s getting a wedding invitation and assign them a number. Then write that number on their response card. When they send it back without a name, you&amp;#39;ll be able to figure out who they are from the little number on the back.\nA reply-by date. Without this, you&amp;#39;ll likely need to track down all those procrastinators who don&amp;#39;t get why they need to let you know whether they&amp;#39;re attending more than a day in advance.\nWhat You Shouldn&amp;#39;t Include on Wedding Response Cards\nA blank line for people to fill in the number of guests attending. Most of your invited guests understand that whomever&amp;#39;s named on the invitation envelope are the only people who are invited to the wedding. But there&amp;#39;s always some guest who&amp;#39;s annoyed that she didn&amp;#39;t get a plus-one or wasn&amp;#39;t invited with all five of her children. Offering a line to fill in a number tempts these jilted people to write in &amp;quot;2&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;6,&amp;quot; respectively. Of course my best friend Emily knew I was kidding when I wrote in this crazy number, but here&amp;#39;s some visual evidence of what I mean:\nPinterestFacebookEvents that not everyone is invited to. It&amp;#39;s rather convenient to collect responses to your rehearsal dinner and post-wedding brunch on the same RSVP card where you find out if people are attending your wedding, but if you&amp;#39;re only inviting a select number of guests to those other events, don&amp;#39;t mention that these are occurring anywhere in the wedding invitations that everyone gets. You&amp;#39;ll either wind up with people who are miffed they weren&amp;#39;t included in the other parties or people who tell you that they&amp;#39;re attending the parties you didn&amp;#39;t intend to invite them to.\nWedding registry information. It has no business appearing on any piece of your wedding invitation.\nWhat else should you include on the wedding response card? And what shouldn&amp;#39;t appear on it under any circumstances? Do you think any of the ones I think should be banned are actually fine to include?\nMore About Wedding Invitations__\nWhat Message Your Wedding Invitation Fonts Are Sending\nWould You Send Out Your Wedding Invitations If You KNEW They Had a Typo?\nWhy You Should Bring Your Wedding Invitation to Your Wedding\nMore Ways to Get Glamour\nVisit ShopGlamour.com for cute stuff starting at just $10!\nDownload Glamour Magazine for your iPad!\nEnter the latest Glamour sweepstakes!\nFollow us on Twitter!\nAdd us to your iGoogle homepage.\n__Take Our Survey and You Could Win an iTunes Gift Card!\nHey Glamour fans, we need your advice.
