    So, I saw a cute idea for a RSVP postcard. Here's the wording...

    _____________!

    (Exclamation!)

    ___________________________ is/are____________ to attend.

    (Name[s])                                   (able/unable)

     

    There are _________ people in our party.

                (# of people)

    I got it right away but I keep getting RSVP's back with "mr/mrs" in the first line. I'd sat 3 out of 20 got it.

    Hm, I could see why they would put that. It is a LITTLE confusing, but I totally got it when I read (Exlamation) under it! Those are a super cute idea too!!!

    That's so fun! And much easier to understand than the last three invitations I got!

    I think they're cute!  I can see why they'd be a lil confusing, it took me a second to figure out what you wanted in the first line.  But I caught on fast.  I wonder if I caught on because I've seen a dozen rsvp's, I'm hip to the game.  Some folks don't see 'em too often, so they'll be the confused ones.  As long as you get the rsvp back with an accept or decline- don't worry about the rest!  The people that understand it will appreciate it :)

    Frankly, people are so bad at RSVPing with normal RSVP cards that make sense, I don't see why you'd even want to go there with something that could confuse people! Simplify.

    Older people like grandma and grandpa will probably not get it. But it's fun for younger ones to fill in those blanks since younger generations have so many new words nowadays. But it would be fun to receive an RSVP card which says HELLO! GRANDMA IS ABLE TO ATTEND. hahah.

    I found it a little confusing.  I guess it depends on the recipient.  Once I figured it out, I'd have fun with it.

    Yeah it was a little confusing for me. I am thinking most people will just start at the name section and fill that info out.

    They were already sent. I didn't think they were confusing or else I would not have done them that way. Now that I am getting them back...

    I don't care if people leave it blank. I feel bad that it is confusing for them.

    I'm not sure what you mean for the exclamation.  Something like 'Yay'?

    it is a little confusing.  i didn't understand it at first, but after reading it thru a couple times it makes sense.
