I wrote to a friend on my rsvp "I'm the MOH, you mean I can't skip out on the wedding? - Oh, and I'm bringing a date, he'll have red meat, I'll have chicken"..even though her card didn't have food choices, but I knew she'd get the humour, and that my FI is coming.
You could write a little poem, you could decorate the card and just respond with the usual words, but it would look "creative". Just a couple of ideas.
I'd be a little stumped too... it's a cute idea but I have a feeling alot of people will put it off like you did and then forget to send the RSVP back?
Yeah, people had a hard enoughtime just filling out our regular RSVP cards. SInce you're a bridesmaid and she knows you're coming you can maybe draw of picture of you at the wedding?
@SuperShopper-I agree! We have a very large family and they are traditional and kind of boring, and I have a strong feeling they looked at the cards and went "huh?" My cousin is very quirky and I love that about her, but I just hope she didn't create more work for herself by doing it this way.
I like the poem idea, so I think I might go with that.
I think a lot of folks unintentionally write creative responses on RSVP cards. People seem to be confused by M__________ and other fill in the blank options. I even saw a post where someone wrote Myself in the blank, which made me laugh out loud. Perhaps your cousin was trying to be proactive, but I'm with you... I bet most folks won't get it. Is she doing it because she wants to keep the RSVP cards as a memento? That's the only reason I can see for emphasizing a creative response. I hope she numbered the RSVP cards or they might be so creative that she doesn't know who they're from!
@Jennifer5642-Yes, I believe she is going to make a scrapbook with the response cards, and she did number them, thank God! That's so funny that someone wrote Myself!
My mom just told me that she wrote "Will gladly attend" in her nice handwriting. I think I'm just way overthinking this. It's not that serious. lol
And poof! Just like that it came to me. How does this sound:
All of your dreams will come true in the end, and we'll meet you at the Cottage on 10-10-10.
We did this for our response cards and got really clever responses. Some people decorated the card like a scrapbook, other people drew a cartoon, some wrote poems (or haikus), one wrote the response in code. I loved them and we hung them on display at the wedding!
@Jennifer5642: I just recently was confused by the M. Then again, I am just a waiting bee, so I will pass this one off as a whoops moment and know better next time! I did eventually figure it out, but the RSVP sat on my table for a good 3 or 4 days before it hit me.
As for being creative, just color the whole thing with bright colors. Or put some stickers on it. Like a smiley face for yes. Or just put a superman sticker on it just for fun with a little speech bubble. There are a million things you could do! Don't think too had.
How about you take a picture of you and your boyfriend holding up a sign that says 'YES!' or Were There! or whatever? then print it out and send it to her? Or just a nice picture of you two you have already, and use a nice marker pen to write on the back or front- 'two people who wioll be there' or 'we cant wait for your wedding' or whatever.

My cousin is getting married in October (I'm a bridesmaid) and she sent the invitations last week. On the reply card it says "The favour of a creative response is appreciated by September XX", or something to that affect. She had told me a few months ago that she was going to do it this way and I was a little unsure of how it would go off. I asked her if she thought most people would understand what she was asking. She said yes, and went ahead with it. So I open my invitation last week, and I'm staring at the the reply card for a good 2 minutes trying to think of how I could creatively say that my boyfriend and I are coming. Am I just dumber than I think I am? Am I over-thinking it? I just don't get it. lol
Has anyone done this for their wedding, or know someone who has? How did you go about replying creatively? I've even googled this to maybe get some ideas and jog my brain...but nothing!
I hope nobody has recently posted anything like this before, but I'm at work and don't have time to go through old posts. Thanks for your help!
