Planning guide

Write RSVP questions guests can answer

Good RSVP questions are short, specific, and connected to a planning decision. Avoid one large message box when a structured answer will help your venue or caterer.

Recommended wording

Attendance

“Will you join us on September 20?”

Meal

“Choose one entrée for each attending guest.”

Dietary needs

“List allergies or dietary requirements our caterer should know.”

Plus-one

“Your invitation includes one guest. Please enter their full name.”

Mark essential questions as required, explain why sensitive details are needed, and avoid asking for information already included in the invitation.
