Invites have been going out for weddings and birthdays lately and I’m loving all the designs! Here is an invite tip for sending out those wedding RSVP cards - In light pencil note on the back of the card a number that corresponds to your guest list. Believe it or not some guests will return quickly in full excitement and forget to write a name, just noting “can’t wait” with a number or they just don’t have legible hand writing in general. By numbering the invites it helps eliminate the confusion of who returned the RSVP!
