The name listing of his parents is tricky. If they're divorced by the time the wedding comes OR pretty much everyone knows about the divorce, leave it as is. If it's quiet, change it to Mr. and Mrs. Carl Lastname.

To get a headcount, you don't need a response card. The wording above will get one for you. However, if you feel like you need to use a response card, delete the response request (last line) above and use...

--the "daughter of" breaks the "no names between the couple's" rule. If you want to list parents who aren't hosting, it's done as a courtesy listing at the bottom of the invitation
--you can use titles if you want, your choice
--the layout above is correct, if it won't all fit properly with the poem, then poem goes, the lines don't get squished together to fit the poem

To get a headcount, you don't need a response card. The wording above will get one for you. However, if you feel like you need to use a response card, delete the response request (last line) above and use...

If you need to use enclosures for Accommodations, Directions or Childcare, you can find templates under the STD section. http://tinyurl.com/29k6al The format used for the STD works just fine for the invitation too.

Re: Need Wording Help?: Posted: Nov 3, 2008 10:48 AM Go to message in response to: TigerBride515; I have my invitations figured out but I have a question about my response cards.
First- is it polite to supply postage for the response cards? I have recieved cards that were done both ways.
Second- we are having a buffet style, so no meal choice. the reason I'm doing a response card is because I am inviting groups of people on each invitation. Ex: The XYZ Family. I don't think all members of every family will becoming. Some have children as well. Also, I'm allowing all of my single friends to bring a date. So I'd like to make a response card that is something like this:
M_______________
____ Attending
_____ Number Attending
_____ Number of Children
____ Not Attending
Is that okay? Also, I talk to my singluar friends on a regular basis. Can I just tell them in person that they can bring a date, or do I need to include it in ther invitation?
Thanks!
