The best bit of wisdom! It's common knowledge that getting the RSVPs back can be challenging. Well, maybe, just maybe... putting a little humor into your RSVP wording might help with the success rate! Whatever the result... laughter is good medicine and who couldn't use a little good medicine in their wedding planning. Right? Right.
Imagine how much fun personalizing your wording will be. I've come up with a few of my own alternative RSVP versions to give you some ideas {below}.

____ I don't speak French, but if you want to know if we're coming... YES!
____ Pardon my French. We no can come.
