How do you word an RSVP card for email replies?

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

Short answer

Put your email address on the card and ask guests to reply by a set date. Keep the wording simple, for example: 'Please reply by 1 June to [email address].'

An email RSVP card works well if you want replies to land in one place. Write the email address clearly, ideally in a larger font, and add a line inviting guests to include their names and any dietary needs. A typical wording is: 'Kindly reply by [date] to [email address]. Please include the names of all guests attending.' You can also ask guests to confirm whether they are attending or unable to attend, so you know who needs a place. Keep the tone warm and friendly, not formal. If you have a joint email address, make sure it is one you check regularly. You might also add a note that children are welcome only if their names are included. Avoid asking for too much detail in the email, as guests may forget. A simple subject line such as 'RSVP for [names] wedding' helps you sort replies. Remember to set a reminder for yourself a week before the deadline, and chase any guests who have not replied.
