Classic RSVP wording for an email

The classic RSVP email: a findable subject line, a warm paragraph, the link on its own line, and a sign-off. Plain text, one household per email if you use household links.

Free, no account. Made by Vowlist — the guest list, budget and checklist are free; the RSVP link is $79 once, no subscription.

Three ways to say it

  1. Subject: [Names] — please RSVP by [Deadline]
    
    Dear [Household], we hope you received our invitation for [Date]. We would love to have you with us — please reply by [Deadline] at the link below (your names are already there).
    [Link]
    With love, [Names]
  2. Subject: RSVP for our wedding, [Date]
    
    Hello [Household]! Here is your reply link for our wedding on [Date]: [Link]. Could you let us know by [Deadline]? You can add any dietary needs there too.
    Thank you, [Names]
  3. Subject: [Names] on [Date] — can you make it?
    
    Dear [Household], we are counting down to [Date] and would love to know if you can join us. Please reply by [Deadline] at [Link] — it takes a minute.
    With love, [Names]

Questions about an email

What goes in the subject line?

Your names, the word RSVP and the date: "Maya & Jon — please RSVP by June 1". Guests search their inbox for it later; make it findable.

One email to everyone (BCC) or one per household?

One per household if you use per-household links (each family gets their own). If you send one BCC email, use the wedding-wide link and let guests find their name — and never CC, or every guest sees every address.

Should I attach the invitation?

A small image of it, sure — but put the link and the reply-by date in the text of the email, not only in the image. Images get blocked; text does not.

The link the wording points to

Vowlist gives every household its own RSVP link — the family taps it, sees only their names, picks who is coming and what they eat, done. No app, no account, and we never email or message guests. Guest list, budget and checklist are free; the RSVP link is $79 once. See the guest page → · Start free →
