How do you word an RSVP card for a casual wedding?

Answered by the UK Wedding Websites editorial team · Updated 2026-10-12 · For guests

Short answer

Keep it simple and friendly: 'Please let us know if you can make it by [date]'. Offer options like 'Yes, I will be there!' and 'Sorry, I cannot make it'. Add a line for the guest's name and number of guests.

For a casual wedding, the RSVP card should feel relaxed and easy to fill in. Start with a friendly line like 'We would love to know if you can join us'. Then give two clear options: 'Yes, I will be there!' and 'No, I cannot make it'. You can also add a third option: 'I will try my best to come'. Add a line for the guest's name and the number of guests, written simply as 'Name' and 'How many of you?'. You could include a space for dietary needs with a simple line like 'Any food allergies or preferences?'. Keep the language conversational, as if you are talking to a friend. For example, write 'Please reply by [date] so we can get the party sorted'. You can also add a light note at the bottom such as 'No formal dress code, just come as you are' or 'Kids are welcome, and so are dogs if they are well behaved'. Make sure the card is easy to read and the options are clearly tickable. The goal is to make your guests feel comfortable and excited to celebrate with you.
