RSVP wording examples for wedding invitations

These are ready-to-use RSVP lines for a wedding or similar celebration, written so you can paste them into the note or question fields of your invitation page. Each one covers a real situation, from asking for a reply by a date to handling a plus-one or a child who is not invited.

Sample wedding RSVP wording pages

What to put on a wedding RSVP wording

  • Reply-by date, shown near the form
  • Yes or no answer and number of guests
  • Note field for plus-one names and allergies
  • Meal choice as an extra question
  • Question about children attending, if relevant
  • Name and email of the person to contact about changes

The page has an RSVP form: guests say yes or no, how many are coming, and anything you ask (allergies, email, phone). You get an email for each reply and a guest list with a CSV export.

When to send it

  1. Eight to ten weeks before: Choose your reply-by date and send the invitation link
  2. When the first replies arrive: Check the guest list and totals, and follow up on the email for each reply
  3. Two weeks before the reply date: Send a short reminder to anyone who has not answered
  4. After the reply date: Use the CSV to share final numbers with your caterer or venue

Questions

Where do I put these lines on the invitation page?
Paste the wording into the note or question fields on the RSVP form, or into the intro text at the top. You can change any line in chat or by hand after the page is made.
Can I use an extra question for meal choice and children?
Yes. The RSVP form allows up to six extra questions, so meal choice, dietary needs and whether children are coming can each have their own question. Keep the wording short so guests answer quickly.
Will I get an email for each reply?
Yes. You receive an email for each reply, and the guest list shows totals and can be downloaded as a CSV so you can share final numbers with your caterer or venue.
Do guests need an account to reply?
No. Guests open the one link on the invitation and reply on the page without signing up.
Can I change the wording later?
Yes. Pages are made in chat and can be edited by hand or by asking in chat, so you can adjust the reply-by date or the notes at any time before you send the link.
