Dinner party invitations

Why dinner needs a real RSVP

Dinner is the party where the number matters most and the reply rate is worst — six people in a thread produce four answers, two jokes and no total. A card with a deadline turns a vague "should be good!" into a yes or a no you can shop against.

Dietary notes without a second thread

Ask for allergies and preferences directly on the card and guests will put them in the RSVP message field, so they arrive attached to the person rather than buried in the chat. Set the party size so plus-ones are counted, not remembered.

Is a designed invitation overkill for six people?

It is mostly about the reply rate. A card with a deadline gets answered; a message in a thread gets scrolled past.

Can I reuse it for a supper club?

Create a new invitation from the same template each time — the design carries over, the details change.
