May I check my invite/rsvp wording with you? |

We are looking to send over our proposed text to the letterpress design folks today or tomorrow, and I wanted to check with you our intended language. I based this on verseit.com. Questions: (1) have I got the format/language right? (2) is the RSVP card correct - should I spell out the date as I did in the invitation? (3) My mom thinks that I need to include the "number of guests attending" language on the card because of my large family. Is this confusing? We will be including an inner envelope for families and guests with partners, but mom would like to ensure we have the correct number down, as our official invite list is now for 329 people (!) in order to accommodate my dad's enormous family (quite a few likely won't be able to turn up due to travel). Mr. and Mrs. [bride's dad's full name] Reception to follow The favour of a reply is requested by September 15, 2008. ____number of persons attending Handbags always fit! |

I didn't spell the date out on either of them. On my reply cards I have the exact thing you have. I think it's important to put number attending because if you address the invitation to a couple and only one can attend, you would need to know that so you're not paying for an extra head. I originally wasn't going to put number attending but when my cousin told me her husband wasn't coming I thought maybe I should include it. Because I assumed he was coming since she's in the wedding. Oh, the wording looks right to me.

i've always seen the wording for the time as "half PAST whatever", but maybe that's just a preference thing; i don't know! as for the number attending, that's superuseful because it helps you keep a head count, not only of invited people who don't come with the full party that was invited, but also with people who just assume they can bring a guest even if they weren't invited with one! on the date, i've seen it both ways, so do whatever you think looks better. dangit, you're already wording invites, and we haven't even picked any out yet! ggrrr!

Thanks! I did some internet research on the "half after" versus "half past" and it appears "half after" is the more formal wording -- but, then again, that's just internet research. I had "two thirty o'clock" in my original draft which is apparently really wrong

cool! i was wondering about that! if you're going the more formal route, it may be better to type out the full date on the response cards, just the month and date, not the year, too.

FWIW, I prefer "half past."

Also, if your reception is pretty much right after the ceremony, I would just do: "Reception immediately following" "Reception Site" BUt then you'd have to do a reception card and you might not be doing that. I just personally don't like that there are 2 separate events, locations and times on one invitation. It's sort of wordy, IMO.
