Confused on wedding website..

Ceelie , on May 26, 2019 at 10:52 AM Posted in Planning 0 8
So I’m a little confused. I use the knot for our wedding website, and yesterday I just posted on Instagram some of our engagements with a link to RSVP to our wedding. However, there’s a whole separate link for those who want to provide their contact information to receive an invitation through the mail. So I did both links on Facebook. Does anyone else use the knot for their website? Any recommendations?

    I'd encourage you to think about the pros and cons of posting info about your wedding on social media. Are you planning to invite anyone and everyone who wants to come? That could quickly grow to a bigger/more expensive wedding than you were planning on. Are there people who you do NOT want at your wedding who will likely find out about it on social media? I understand wanting to shout from the rooftops your news, but if you haven't yet though about it, I'd try to think through the potential downside of posting wedding details and/or asking for invite info on forums that might have a broader audience than you were thinking about inviting to your wedding. Good luck! Smiley heart

    Did you send these people an invitation with the website link or just post the link on social media? People need to be actually invited to something in order to RSVP.

    Are you inviting everyone on your Instagram to your wedding? This is confusing...

    Okay, so the difference between those two functions is this: with the inputting info link, you control how many people show up in their household when they go to RSVP. If they RSVP and you left it just open to the public anyone can put their name and any amount of RSVPs they want. I highly recommend not giving out the RSVP link until you have everyone you want inputed. Otherwise you may end up with chaos. (I also caution against putting those on social media unless you password protected your site.)

    Okay, this makes more sense. Thank you!! I deleted the post.. should I create a new post asking for address info and then pick and choose who we’d like to invite? Or should I just track them down individually and then as we get closer just do a final post asking people to make sure they RSVP?

    Just track each person down. A lot of people want to be invited to weddings so it just causes drama. Are you sending our Invitations?

    I would text each person and ask for their information. This is what we did and how our friends have done it.

    Definitely gather people's information individually unless you want/can afford hosting a lot of people you may or may not be close to.
