Your wedding RSVP cards serve one main purpose, which is to confirm exactly who will be joining you on the day. But collecting RSVPs for your wedding isn’t just about finalizing your headcount – it’s also the perfect way to grab some key information from your guests.

From meal selections to dance floor requests, your RSVP questions can help you save time and stress as you get prepared for your upcoming celebration. Keep reading as decourceys.co.uk/wedding-venues-cardiff share the best RSVP questions to ask your wedding guests below!

Guest Details

• RSVP status. This is where you’ll give your guests a place to indicate whether they plan to attend. Your wording can be as simple as “Gratefully accepts” and “Regretfully declines”, or something more upbeat like “Heck yes!” or “Will be there with bells on!”.

• First and last name of plus one. And if you’re not offering a plus one, make this clear on your RSVP card by saying  “We have reserved 1 seat in your honor”.

• Physical address. This will come in handy for thank you cards after the day!

Meal Preferences

• Meal selection. If you’ve opted for plated meals, ask your guests to select their preferred option. You can also use a numbered system, asking guests to rate their preferences from 1-3.

• Dietary restrictions. This is where your guests can outline any dietary restrictions such as dairy-free, gluten-free or vegetarian.

• Kids meal. If you’ve decided to host kids at your wedding, it’s a good idea to check whether they’ll require a separate kids meal at your reception. Keep in mind that older kids may prefer an adult meal.
