"Instead of just marking a circle! Using a check mark for RSVP reply cards could be a stylish option."

The Increase of RSVP Postcards with Checkboxes ♩

RSVP postcards typically have larger text with options for "Will Attend / Will Not Attend," where guests mark one of the options to respond.

However, while looking at recent RSVP postcards,

I was surprised to notice the increasing presence of

the "checkbox style for confirming attendance" type!

Here’s what the design looks like＊

At the top, it says PLEASE CHECK,

☐ WILL ATTEND

☐ WILL NOT ATTEND

Guests can mark one of these two options to respond.

Unlike traditional RSVP postcards, it feels more foreign and stylish ♩

Checkbox Style is Common Overseas＊

While checkbox style RSVP postcards are rare in Japan, this design is quite standard abroad.

Searching for terms like "rsvp card" reveals a variety of checkbox-style postcards ♩

I realized that marking with a circle is actually a feature of Japanese culture.

Introducing Alternative Phrases Other Than Will Attend / Will Not Attend＊

Among Japanese brides using the checkbox style for their RSVP postcards,

Most use the previously mentioned:

☐ WILL ATTEND

☐ WILL NOT ATTEND

These English phrases are indeed the easiest to understand.

However, I discovered many different expressions used in overseas RSVP postcards ♩

Here’s a selection.

<①>

☐ JOYFULLY ACCEPTS

☐ REGRETFULLY DECLINES

<②>

☐ ACCEPTS WITH PLEASURE

☐ DECLINE WITH REGRET

<③>

☐ REGRETFULLY DECLINES

<④>

☐ CAN'T MAKE IT

<⑤>

☐ CAN'T WAIT

☐ TOASTING FROM AFAR

<⑥>

☐ NO

The expressions for declining are also positive and charming, which is heartwarming.

Checkbox Style RSVP Cards Might Be Nice Too ♩

The checkbox style for confirming attendance is common in overseas RSVP CARDS.

Besides squares, it could also be cute to arrange options in circles, diamonds, or hearts.
