Numbering Response Cards

You’ve sent out your invitations and the responses are starting to roll in. Each day a new batch of responses arrives in the mail. How exciting … until the mystery card arrives!

M______________
Number of guests: 2

Oh, no. Someone forgot to write in their name. Who are these two people attending your wedding? The last thing you want to add to your “to do” list is to start calling your guests.

This situation could have been easily avoided by numbering the response cards. Before sending out the invitations, you need to create a list of all your invited guests with a corresponding number. This number can be written lightly in pencil on the back of the response card in small print. Or if you are working with an invitation designer like Three Graces Design, the number can be printed directly on the response card in an inconspicuous place.

When one of your wedding guests forgets to fill in their name on the response card there is no need to stress out. Simply cross-reference the number on the response card with your master list to determine who is the guest. Mystery solved!
