What wording should I use for online wedding RSVPs?

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

Short answer

Use warm, clear wording like "Please reply by [date]" and "We would love to know if you can join us" followed by a simple yes or no question.

Your RSVP wording should be friendly and direct. Start with a warm invitation line, such as "We are so happy to share our wedding day with you." Then say "Please let us know by [date] whether you can join us." Use a date that is at least four weeks before the wedding, so you have time to confirm numbers. Then ask the main question: "Can you attend?" with options for yes and no. If yes, ask which events they will attend. Use plain language, not formal wording. For example, "We hope you can make it" is better than "We request the honour of your presence." If you need to ask about dietary needs, say "Please tell us about any dietary requirements or allergies." If you have a deadline, say "Please reply by [date] so we can finalise our plans." You can also add a gentle reminder: "If we do not hear from you by then, we will assume you cannot make it." That is polite and practical. Avoid asking for money or gifts on the RSVP form. Keep the tone consistent with your wedding style, whether that is casual or formal. End with "Thank you, and we look forward to celebrating with you."
