What are some fun questions to ask on a wedding RSVP card?

Fun questions can make RSVPs feel friendlier, but they should not slow you down. Keep them short and easy to answer. Your main goal is to know who is coming, what to eat and how many drinks you need.

Here are a few ideas that guests usually enjoy answering:

• Which drink would you like on arrival, wine, beer or soft drink?
• Do you have a favourite song you would love to hear at the dance?
• Would you prefer a table for two or a shared table?
• Any allergies or dietary needs we should know about?
• Will you be staying for the evening party or leaving after dinner?

Avoid asking guests to rank your songs or pick your menu in detail. That can feel like extra work. Also avoid questions about gifts or cash, which can make people uncomfortable.

If you are using an online RSVP, you can add these as simple tick boxes. That keeps things quick on a phone. If you are using paper cards, keep the wording short so it fits neatly.

Remember that not every guest will want to answer extra questions. Make the main reply clear and let the fun ones be optional.
