A "Please respond by" line is typically included on every response card. The request lines may be in either the first two lines of the reply card or in the lower left-hand corner. Most couples ask that their replies be returned at least one month before the wedding date.

Today, most RSVP cards include a blank line for writing in the names of the guests who will be attending.
