Select Paper

• Choose paper for your RSVP wedding cards. An invitation kit provides users with RSVP cards and envelopes to match their wedding invitations. Visit printing stores and craft stores to find a wide variety of paper options. Select a color that matches your wedding theme. White or cream are traditional colors for invitations and RSVP cards. Pick a weighted paper such as card stock so the RSVP card is sturdy. Consider vellum with a card stock backing. It's possible to print on vellum, but the key is letting the ink dry completely before proceeding with assembly. Think about using postcards as your RSVP card. These are pre-cut to size and require less postage.
  
  

Wording and Printing

• Look at examples of RSVP cards for samples of wording and designs. Check bridal books, magazines and the Internet for examples. RSVP cards should be simple with the basic information such as guests name, will or will not attend and a response date. Some couples provide menu options for guests. After the wording is selected, open a Word document and go to file, page setup, paper and enter the dimensions for your RSVP card. Click OK to save the size. Type the selected wording onto the document and select an easy to read font. Double-check for spelling mistakes and print a copy to check the margins and page setup. Correct any mistakes and print the RSVP cards.
  
  

Before Mailing

• Prepare your RSVP cards for mailing. Address the return RSVP card envelope to your address or the parents in charge of keeping track of the guest list. Add a stamp to the envelope. This makes it convenient for guests, and there is no confusion over where to send the RSVP card. Assign each guest a number on the back of their RSVP card in light pencil. Keep a master list of the numbers. This will help you if guests forget to include their names on the RSVP cards.
