Do we need to rsvp yet...?

I would ask the person when you'd need to RSVP by

Maybe there doing both digital and physical invitations since a lot of people don’t mail there RSVPs and you end up having to track them down for an answer and count. This may be there way of keeping more accurate figures.

They’re******

Their *******
My autocorrect keeps using the same “there” 😩

They might have just got confused when they went to get save the dates, and were thinking it's the same thing. It happens.

If you know you're going, it never hurts to RSVP as soon as possible. But you should be perfectly fine to wait until the actual invitation, especially since they stated in their "e card" that you should receive an actual invitation eventually. In their case, I suppose it's better to be over prepared than under prepared!

I agree with this. However, if you decide to wait for the "formal invitation", I would set myself some kind of calendar reminder for when the date gets nearer, in case you don't receive anything else. But if this e-card does come with an RSVP link, I don't think it would hurt to respond now, if you know this early whether or not you can attend.

It might just be confusion on the part of the couple. I've read lots of posts here from confused brides/grooms thinking that it is proper to RSVP to a STD.

Maybe they have a lot of guests who are traveling to the wedding, who might already be booking flights / accommodations now?


My husband is not from the US, so there are loads of guests on his side who are flying in for the wedding. I sent e- save the dates 8 months before the wedding. I put “Invitation to Follow,” but I also linked to our wedding website which had details re: travel and accommodation. It also had a section to RSVP, but I didn’t expect it / didn’t put a deadline in the STD. Basically my point is, they might have other guests who need to start planning now and that’s why they included all that info! If they haven’t put a deadline, I wouldn’t feel pressured to RSVP at this point.

View Quoted Comment That makes sense actually I know they do have a lot of guests traveling because the wedding is in the state the bride grew up in, but they currently live across the country as does the groom’s entire family.

My friend did this so i just waited for the invitation. But i would just ask. No harm in asking.
