How do you word an RSVP card for a bridal shower?

A bridal shower RSVP card is usually hosted by the bridal party or a close friend, so the wording should be gracious and clear. Start with 'Please reply by [date]' or 'Kindly respond by [date]'. Then include a simple acceptance line like 'Joyfully accepts' and a decline line like 'Regretfully declines'. Add a space for the guest's name and for the number of guests if you are allowing a plus one. Since showers often involve food, ask about dietary requirements or allergies with a line like 'Please note any dietary needs below'. If there is a gift list, you can mention it subtly, for example 'Your presence is the only gift needed, but if you wish, a registry is available on request.' Avoid being pushy. If the shower is a surprise, make sure the RSVP card does not spoil it, so keep the wording generic like 'A celebration for [name]' rather than naming the event. Also include the host's contact details or a reply website. Give guests at least three weeks to respond, and follow up gently with those who forget. Keep the tone warm and excited, as the shower is a joyful occasion.
