a note for the bride?

I'm about to RSVP a wedding invite and at the bottom there's a space for a note for the bride. I'm really unsure what this means. Is this meant to be some words of wisdom to the bride? A place to inform any dietary requirements? Or what??

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

    When I have replied to invites without an RSVP I have written something along the lines of
    "Looking forward to seeing you and (OH) in (May) to celebrate your marriage"

    Maybe you could write something like that?

    How well do you know the bride? Is there anything important you need to tell her re dietry requirements etc? If not - then depending on how well I knew her I might put something funny in there - an old fashioned quote re obeying husband or something. But I would be more likely to just put a quick note about looking forward to it all, keeping calm and offering my help.

    I've never had this before, 'a note for the BRIDE' to me reads 'for the bride' so dietary requirements wouldn't come under it as I think that would be for whoever is inviting you? is the bride AND groom inviting you? or parents? I'm at a loss and wouldn't know what to put.

    If you put a note saying looking forward to seeing you, make sure you add 'you and your husband' even though it's just for her........
    Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....
  • Thank you all for your replies. The invitation is from her parents and we don't know her very well. My OH knows the groom fairly well but he's not very good with things like that and has been of no help.

    I'll go with the general advice of 'we are looking forward with seeing you and 'groom' on...' and pass dietary requirements to the groom.

    Thanks!
