[Marge129]

I chose number 1.... it's similar to what I used.

[Lizbet]

I like the initial wording of #1 with the choices from #2. Like this:

The favor of a reply is requested
on or before DATE
M ____________
Number attending __
Ages of children attending_____
Sorry, cannot attend __

[555Ann555]

I like number one. It is simple but covers everything that the rsvp needs to cover I don't see the point in confusing things any further...
ETA: I like the combination choice that Lizbet just added too.

[Sh@ks18]

I would put something like this:

They may not be sorry, lol.

The only thing I can think might trip you/guests up is the "number attending" line. Since it is followed by the "number of children" attending line, are they putting the TOTAL number of people attending (and letting you subtract the children to figure out the adults attending) or are they putting the number of ADULTS attending?? And you may get mixed results, leaving you to figure which option they meant.

I might put something like this:

M ____________
Number of adults attending ____
Number of children under 12 attending _____
Unable to attend ____

[fallbride]

ok I like what everyone is saying here. You are helping me out. But I can not do the under 12. The first group is 0-3 years then the next group is 4-6.

So how about this:

on or before DATE
M ____________
Total number attending __
Ages of children attending_____
Unable to attend __

[ljeagle]

sounds good to me! The reason she needs the ages is because there is different prices for different ages.

Looks good to me

[wembley]

I like that better where you just ask for the ages of kids attending because I would have been confused how many to put on the first line if you weren't specific and that could have been a big mess when you got them back with different people interpreting differently.

[Sh@ks18]

Ya i like the final version.

I didnt know their price list was so broken down into so many childrens age categories.

[labeadel]

I agree that the final one you've come up with is the best.

[fallbride]

Thanks ladies! That is the one that we are going with.

[fallbride]

Here is the finish product:

The favor of a

on or before September 2, 2006
M _____________
Total Number attending __
Ages of children attending_____
Unable to attend __

[555Ann555]

[Robyn Lynn]

I like that.

[Sh@ks18]

Perfect!

[fallbride]

Thank you!!!

I will be printing the invites out next week.

[wynelle]

If they put down # attending = 0, wouldn't that negate the need for the last line?

+1

Yeah, but if the inivte was for a family of 5 but only 4 were attending it'd be quicker to see on the last line exactly how many couldn't make it.

If you didn't have that line there you would have to refer back to your guest list for every RSVP received just to check if everyone who was invited was going to attend.

[Lizbet]

Also, if you don't have the last line, people who aren't attending will be less likely to return the RSVP.

That is what I think.
