I'm a big fan of using fun and creative RSVP wording--especially for showcasing the spirit of a wedding. While RSVPs serve a very practical and much-needed purpose--getting an accurate guest count--why not incorporate a bit of fun into them as well?

Which is your favorite?
What do you think about incorporating humor or creativity into your RSVP wording?
One of my favorite wording ideas comes from the Ritzy Bee blog. It's an oldie but a goodie ... and it's cute cute cute! The wording is clever, positive and the best part--the objective is clear--to find out who is attending and who is not!
___Will be there with bells on
___Will be there free of bells
___Will be there … undecided on bells
Number of people attending: _____
___Will not be there
Heard there will be people wearing bells
___Will not be there
Regardless of the bell controversy
So fun!
Here's another idea that plays off the original above:
Spring, Summer, Outdoor, or Destination wedding--
___Will be there with SPF on
___Will be there free of SPF
___Will be there … undecided on skin protection
Number of people attending: _____
___Will not be there
Heard there will be people donning SPF
___Will not be there
Regardless of the SPF controversy
