I am trying to decide how to word my RSVPs for a sit down dinner. I need to know what choice each person would like in order to make placecards that people will pick up, they will be color coordinated according to the type of meat they choose. What have other people put on their RSVPs?? I need ideas! :)

Thanks!

I've always seen it with the choices at the bottom (for example, beef, chicken, vegetarian, or whatever you're having) and the guests just circle or check next to what they want. Or you could have them write in the number of each type of meal.

"Please initial your meal choice" is one way of doing it.

Another idea I've seen is to have a line for each guest (which makes a larger card and the basic invite catalogs will not accomodate) where they write in their name, they mark whether or not they are attending and then they mark which option they want.

Here's an example of the latter:

Just skip the M at the beginning of each line.

I'm going the buffet route, but I like the ones with the little pictures:

I have also seen a seperate insert in the wedding invitation that serves as the meal choice card, however, this does increase the cost of stationary, which may or may not be an issue for you.
