HOW ELSE can you HAVE FUN with your RSVP Cards?
By turning them into keepsakes! Pose a question to your guests... Ask them to write their thoughts on the RSVP Card re: ... wedding day advice... honeymoon advice... being married/getting married advice... HAVE FUN and BE CREATIVE! You're sure to get a variety of funny, heart-felt and memorable bits of advice from loving family and friends! Fun for them to write and fun for you to receive and have for keepsakes!
Tips: To eliminate the deciphering of bad handwriting, number your guest list and correspond that number to the back of the respective RSVP card. And, make it easier on your guests by sending stamped, self-addressed RSVP postcards/envelopes.
