Short answer
Word it simply: 'Please reply by [date] to confirm your place at the rehearsal dinner on [date] at [time].' Include a meal choice if needed.
A rehearsal dinner RSVP card should be straightforward and practical, since this event is usually for close family and the bridal party. Start with a clear invitation line, such as 'We would love you to join us for the rehearsal dinner.' Then give the date, time and location, and ask guests to reply by a specific date. If you are serving a set menu, you can include a section for dietary requirements or meal preferences. Keep the tone warm and appreciative, as this is often a thank-you to those who are helping with the wedding. You might also add a note about dress code, especially if it is smart casual or themed. For the bridal party, you may want to include details about timings for the rehearsal itself, but that can be separate from the RSVP card. Remember to include your contact details or a way to reply online. The card should be easy to fill in, with space for names and a simple 'accepts' or 'declines' option. Avoid overcomplicating it, as guests will appreciate clarity.
