nope, unless i can't attend. then i'll write a note thanking them for the invite but explaining why i can't come.
I do now that I've been a bride. I loved it when people left us notes on the RSVPs and I wish we had gotten more!!
Depends on the style of the RSVP. I've gotten ones where it asks for a creative reply or a drawn photos. Formal ones just get a check that I'm attending or not. You don't need to write anything crazy. You could just write, "Can't wait to see you!" and that would be fine.
If it's someone I'm really close to, I write a note about how happy I am for them or how excited I am to celebrate with them.
It depends on who it is. For people we know well, like a recent invitation, I wrote "I got my party pants out already, I just have to have my SO iron them for me." Or for a couple who put Adults only reception on their RSVP I wrote "All my kiddlets are ready for a party. Hope you have chicken nuggets." or somthing to that effect. We don't have children so thats why it was funny. I think it makes the RSVP extra fun for the Bride and Groom.
I had a girlfriend check off the "attending" option and then beside it wrote "(OF COURSE!!!)
It was cute, and I liked reading her excitement.
Yes I usually write something on the RSVP. Sometimes it's just "can't wait to celebrate with you" or something along those lines.
I had never thought of it before, but I love when I've gotten RSVPs with little notes, even something like "We can't wait!"
The Best Man (who is both of our best friend) crossed off the "accepts with pleasure" and wrote in "accepts with regret" (our other option was "declines with regret"). He didn't know they weren't going straight to us! Luckily my mom knows it was just a joke :)
I always draw a little picture. Usually an elephant butt with a heart with the bride and groom's name in it lol
i usually write "can't wait to celebrate" "love the invitation" or "so happy for you guys" something like that.
I usually say something like: Congratulations! So happy for you... or looking forward to the big day! or - can't wait to celebrate with you... etc.
I usually just write my name and check off whether I am coming or not and mail it as soon as I can.
I usually write a quick little line at the bottom of the response card, something to the effect of "We can't wait to celebrate with you!" or "We're so happy for you, and we're sorry we can't be there to celebrate!"
I think I got the idea of writing something from my mother, who always wrote a note on any invitation response she received. I'm not sure if her habit came from general etiquette, experience, or simple kindness, but I'm glad we do it.
I used to just check the box and send it back but after I was a bride, I realized how nice it was to have small notes included on the RSVP card. When there is space (front or back), I now write a little something like "We are looking forward to sharing in your celebration!" or "We can't wait to join you for your special day!".
Before I got married, I just checked the boxes or whatever. Now that I received rsvps myself, I write notes.
I didn't use to but now that we're getting our RSVPs back, I love reading notes that some people wrote! I will be leaving a cute one from now on!
Never thought about this before, but now I love the idea of receiving/writing a little note! Thanks for bringing this to my attention, bees!
Yes, I do. It's nice to say a little something (I know I enjoyed the notes people wrote on our RSVP cards).
Plus, back in the day, before meal selections and accepts with pleasure/delcines with regret were commonplace, the recipient of the invitation was supposed to write a note on personal stationery offering congratulations and stating whether or not they would attend. I think it's nice to write a sweet note and sort of keep a bit of this tradition alive. Even today, super formal invitation suites will just have "please reply by the 4th of August" and nothing else on the card. It's assumed the recipient will write a note and accept or decline the invite.
It depends. I didnt before I was a bride but now that I'm a bride I do, only if the RSVP is going back to the bride and groom. We've been invited to 2 weddings this summer in which the parents are receiving the RSVPs so in that case I wouldnt write anything.
@PitBulLover: I wouldn't let that stop you! Our rsvps went to my parents (we were in the process of moving, and didn't know our new address when we ordered the invites), but my mom wrapped up all of the rsvps and left them with our wedding presents. I had so much fun reading them the next day!
@missclover: I usually write "It would be an honor" or "Cant wait til the big day" or "So happy to see you guys soon"
I always write a cute note! And as a bride-to-be, I LOVE when my replies come back with little notes on them.

Hi Bees!
I'm just wondering, when you get a wedding invite, do you usually write something cute on the rsvp? Do you do it right on the front or the back? What do you normally say? My mom told me she likes to write a cute note but I have NO IDEA what to write.
