I need your opinion on which wording to use. Matt Doesn't care. But I am not for sure.

Choice 1
The favor of a reply is requested
on or before July 20, 2012
M_______________________
Will attend_________
Will not attend______

Choice 2
Kindly reply by the 12th of August
M_______________________
Number attending_______

Or other. (please word it for me.)

Thanks in advance

I like choice #1 better because then you'll get the response card either way.

we would like your reply back no later than the what ever date you pick that is what we have done, and for member of the family that like a joke my mum has added no reply no entrey lol

Ours said:

M___________________________
__ accepts __ regrets

And our meal secection options were printed underneath the above text. I personally like the wording of accepts/regrets because it sounds gentler than 'will not attend.' I always feel like 'will not attend' sounds like "I won't go" rather than "Sorry, I can't make it." Yeah, I know, I have issues.

I think you should do a combo such as:

Please reply on or before
August 12, 2006
M___________________
Number attending _____
Regretfully decline_____

I agree that you should have not attending as an option, but you also need to know how many in the family will make it.

[Marrying_the_Good_Husband]

I like Bebe's suggestion.

[PlanetClaire]

Me too.

Possibly add the number attending? Especially if you have invited Friend +guest.

[Complicated Woman]

I like Lizbets suggestion. I think that works well.

[555Ann555]

I like Bebe's and Lizbet's suggestions, but I guess that's not actually much help! Sorry.

Em... let me think...

I'd keep it quite simple:

Kindly reply before the * of *
M________________
Will be attending:___
Cannot attend:_____
Number attending:__

Mine say:
M_________
Thanks you for your invitation which we will/will not be able to accept.
I've got a list of who I invited so in theory I'll know how many will be in each party.

Actually now I think about it I'm not sure about the wording of mine either!

FH acutally liked your idea Lizbet. Now to get them printed out. Thank you for your ideas and input. We really appreciate it.

[Kim&Bob2004]

I like both Bebe's and Lizbets! Wow! Let us know when you get them mailed!

[Solar_Flare]

I like Lizbet's. Especially with putting "regrets" instead of decline and how its basically asking "accepts" and "how many" in one line. If you seperate them you might end up with people checking the "accept" but not going on and writing how many are coming.
