Wedding respond folders
If your planning a small or large wedding and are ready to order your invitations, you will need to know how many people will be attending your event. This is where respond folders or cards come in handy. You can send them out in addition to your invitations per each family to allow them to respond with how many will be attending in their party.
The proper etiquette for wording on respond folders is to have them state on the first line “Respond on or before (date you choose). You will want to choose a date at least two weeks before the wedding date to be able to give your caterer an accurate head count. The second line should say something like “____ guests or persons will attending”. They can fill in the blank with how many. You may also want to put a menu selection such as “___ beef or ___ chicken if you are having several choices.
Your respond folder envelopes usually come with printed outer envelopes with address provided. This should be the address of the person who will be taking head count - usually yourself or parents of the bride.
