RSVP Card

Did you know that the most common error brides make on an RSVP is in the first two words? "Please RSVP" sounds right doesn't it? It feels proper to word it that way but it is actually incorrect. RSVP in French means "respond please." So when you write "Please RSVP" you are actually saying "Please respond please," it's just one too many "pleases" for this little card.

Here are some better alternatives:
Kindly respond by
Please respond by
The favor of a reply is requested by
or simply
RSVP by

Did you pick an alternative? Good, I am so proud of you! You have graduated from RSVP school & you are ready to order those RSVP's.
