How do you word an RSVP card in French?

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

Short answer

Write 'Réponse demandée avant le [date]' at the top, then 'Accepte avec plaisir' and 'Décline avec regret' as the two options. Add a line for the guest's name and number of guests.

For a French RSVP card, keep the wording simple and polite. Start with 'Réponse demandée avant le [date]' which means 'Reply requested before the date'. Then list two clear options: 'Accepte avec plaisir' for accepting and 'Décline avec regret' for declining. You can add a line saying 'Nombre de personnes' for the number of guests, and 'Nom' for the name. If you want a warmer tone, use 'Nous serions ravis de vous accueillir' at the top, meaning 'We would be delighted to welcome you'. For a more formal card, write 'Veuillez répondre avant le [date]' which means 'Please reply before the date'. Remember to include a space for dietary requirements if needed, written as 'Régime alimentaire'. If your guests are not fluent in French, you could add English subtitles in brackets, but keep the main wording in French. The date should be written in the French format, for example 'le 15 juin 2025'. Make sure the card is easy to read and the options are clearly tickable or circleable.
