Please help with RSVP details

[Zoe Nguyen]

I need some help with RSVP details. What information did you put in your RSVP?

 

I have a draft one as this for my RSVP Postcards:

 

Kindly reply by

31st JANUARY 2014

 

Name(s): _____________________

No. of guest(s)_________________

            •          Wouldn’t miss it for the world.

            â—¦          Wedding date (19th July 2014 )

            â—¦          Welcome party (18th July 2014)

            •          We’ll celebrate from afar.

Promise to dance if you play

Please advise of any special or dietary requirements.

Our wedding planner also suggests it is good to have the following information from the guests as well:

- Date and time of arrival/ date and time of departure

- Hotel that they will stay

- Special needs if any 

 

How do you collect these information from the guests? Should I put in another line similar to this (I copied this from Mischaka's Passport Invitation  - hope she wont mind)

 

Departing Flight 

#____ Time_____

 

Returning Flight

#____Time _____

Tentative Hotel

______________

 

 

I am thinking instead of putting into the invitation, I may send a personal email to each guests RSVP as a thank you note and also asking them for those details instead? 

 

Thanks

Yes I would contact personally those who RSVP yes, and then ask them details for flights and hotels.

that's a lot of information to include in an RSVP, especially if they may not have their travel arrangements made when they send back the RSVP (not sure how early your invites are going out?). 

 

I would tend to do this for the "send back" part of the RSVP:

            â—¦          Wedding date (19th July 2014 )

and then contact them later for their travel arrangements (or have a travel agent who helps you/your guests with all the arrangements - then this is their domain!).

Thanks, I will send them personal email to collect those information when they have confirmed RSVP.
