Insert card of invitation has odd info..help

[annsmith]

Am invited to wedding and insert card states the names and address and ph of bride and groom and the date they will "be at home" (week after wedding). What is the purpose of this? Just to give that info?

And there is no rsvp card. What does one do? Phone them if it is included? Get their own rsvp card to mail back?

Odd invitation. Thank you

Are you sure its an invitation and not just an announcement? (Although I think the announcement usually come after the actually wedding??) Is it a destination wedding or anything? Maybe they are inviting you to the ceremony only - or is there reception information included? It is an odd one....

Yeah, be sure it is actually an invitation to attend the event.

I have gotten invites with no RSVP card, it is sort of rude almost like they don't expect you to come but sent a gift anyway ... at least that is how I took the one I got ;)

The address and such may just be general info the couple wanted to share since people often ask about this for cards and such.

If there is no RSVP and you are fairly close to the people and you want to attend then I would call them. If you are not that close and are not planing to attend then I wouldn't worry about it. They didn't include the RSVP and they can't expect to get one back.

If they happen to call you to check if you are coming you can simply tell them that there was no response card and that you forget about it. Or you could send a congrats card are send your regrets and well wishes that way.

I was actually in a wedding where they invited 700 people and they decided not to do response cards, it was a very mellow reception at a big hall type place in a small town. They just ball parked how many people were coming with the food, etc. It totally worked out!!!

Can you shoot them an e-mail? Do they have a wedding website or Blog???

:bbeek: I honestly don't even KNOW that many people...especially that many that I'd want at my wedding! Geeez!

I think etiquette traditionally indicates that the invited sends their own RSVP card/note on their own personal stationery back to the hosts. We're so used to people sending RSVP cards it's seems weird. Could this possibly be the case?

Otherwise - no clue!!

One possibility is that there was a fluke in assembling your invitation and they forgot to put the rsvp card in - can happen!
