Essential Information
The invitation itself. This usually includes the date, time, and location of the wedding. A supplementary information card provides your attendees with more specific information about the wedding.
RSVP
An initialism derived from the French phrase Répondez s’il vous plaît, meaning “Please respond” to require confirmation of an invitation. When sending an invitation with an RSVP option, the sender wants their visitors to indicate whether they accept or refuse the invitation.
Confirmation is vital for events like a wedding because size, table, seat, and other things are considered in preparation.

Entourage list
Filipino wedding wouldn’t be complete without an entourage! It’s a big part of our culture to meticulously pick the right people for our list. So, what’s on the list anyway? We won’t go on details but here’s the complete set: Maid of Honor, Best Man, Bridesmaids and Groomsmen, Flower Girls, Ring Bearer, Bible Bearer, & Coin Bearer, Primary Sponsors, and Secondary Sponsors.
- Guest information card (Some details you want to consider)
In this card, you can include and be direct to some details that you didn’t have a chance to put in the cards above. If you wish to clarify whether partners and children are invited, what exactly will be the theme, how formal are your expectations, dress codes, or simple food information. You may also include the specific main details of the venue, the direction, accommodation options, or gifts.
This will help you ensure that your guests have all of the finer details you require.
