Use the same approach as the pre-printed response card but add another line and make it more personal. This might seem uncommon or intimidating, but Wiese Alexander notes that it was once considered garish to include a reply card as the proper host would assume their sophisticated guests know how to RSVP, of course. Most often a checkmark is used where a blank is provided, but you should be using numbers instead.
If you are invited to bring a plus one, it is advised to include that person's full name at the time of your response. That's right, you have to commit to your date in order to respond! A pencil may smear too easily, so many will prefer a pen and either blue or black is fine. This is etiquette —and the most often missed opportunity to shine. Think of the response card as a note, not a form, and write a few sentences in your reply. Thank your host, send well-wishes to the couple, be encouraging, be yourself—this isn't a formality requiring stodginess.

Sticking with the 8-week rule can make a big difference in the amount of RSVPs that you will receive. Then, require that guests respond 2 months before the wedding to encourage them to book travel arrangements in plenty of time. Give guests a date to respond by and make it visible on the reply card. Typically, you should ask for a reply weeks before your wedding date. Caterers will also require that you provide a final head-count 2 weeks before your wedding. You can then use escort cards at the reception to notify guests which table they are seated at, as well as place cards to assign them to a particular seat.
Although, some brides worry that this option will give some guests the impression that they can bring the whole family or even extra guests. This will notify guests exactly how many people are invited. There are several options for addressing your reply card envelopes. You can address them by hand or even have a calligrapher, invitation designer or printing service do it for you.
