Short answer
Ask guests to text or call a specific phone number by a set date. For example: 'Please RSVP by 1 June by text or phone to [number].'
A phone RSVP card is practical for older guests or those who prefer a quick call. Put the number clearly and state whether you prefer a text or a call. A simple wording is: 'Please reply by [date] to [phone number]. You can text or call. Please include your name and how many are attending.' If you expect many calls, consider setting up a separate number or using a messaging app. Let guests know if they can leave a voicemail. You might also add a second line: 'If we do not hear from you by [date], we will assume you are unable to attend.' This is polite but firm. Keep the card uncluttered, with the number in bold. If you have a landline, make sure someone is available to answer. For a larger wedding, phone RSVPs can be time-consuming, so only choose this option if you are happy to manage the calls. You can always ask a member of the bridal party to help.
