In the spirit of saving money... online RSVP?

Yes, it's tacky. I got an invite that required an online RSVP. They used their wedding website, and it was near impossible to figure out (Not a WW website). The bride dealt with more text messages telling people how to RSVP. And she didn't get RSVPs for 30% of the people who came!

Especially skip anything with the event code. If yu're going to do online RSVPs, do it through the wedding website- like WW offers.

And don't put it on the invite itself. THAT is very uch against ettiquette rules.

Yeah, I wouldn't do it. If you want RSVP cards you can get them from a site like vistaprint.com or 123print.com. Just something simple or similar to your invitations.

I am not sending RSVPs for everyone, just the ones I think might have trouble with the website. If you can do FB you can do the weddingwire rsvp!

The ones that I am doing will be very simple postcards I print out myself. That way I don't need envelopes and I save on postage. My invite will have a little slip of paper saying "Please RSVP online at www.weddingwire.com/keathaandbrent" or it will have a postcard pre-stamped with the RSVP information.

I agree with Meghan, it is tacky if you do it on your invites. Having said that though, I have been asked by MANY of my and FH friends to set up an e-vite so they can just click and come. One of my friends went so far as to say, she doesn't even want a real invite, she doesn't check her mail and there is NO WAY she will send back the RSVP card, though she already has her tix from TX to come up for the wedding. So I am doing my normal invites and most will have reply cards. Some will instead receive e-vites with the appropriate links, but those are only the ones who have asked.

I am using the WW website to manage my RSVPs. There are only a few people who would have tech issues, and I have already talked to them. Instead of an official response card, we asked people to visit our website (included link) and RSVP there. I also included my # in case people have problems. It's 2011, and most of our family and friends are totally fine with this method of RSVP.

I don't think it's tacky. Especially with alot of people having smart phones and internet these days. I created a gmail account, you could do something like weddingjuly02@gmail dot com It was really cool because people wrote little messages in the email and I would reply back to them. I am not having an elaborate wedding either.

I used our reception card and put our RSVP information on the bottom of it. I'm using WW website, e-mail and phone. I worded it:

Please RSVP by "Date"

RSVP by our website, e-mail or phone

"website address"

"e-mail"

"phone number"

We wanted to save money and this cut our cost of invites and postage down a LOT. Since the older people will not know how to use the website, we included our phone number for them. So far I have not had any trouble and I have had quite a few people RSVP by our wedding website. Plus it automatically updates my guest list when they use my website and saves me time.

I inserted RSVP cards but also put our cell phone #s and gave people the option. I honestly expected people to just call with an RSVP but all except ONE have sent the cards in! I guess people really appreciate the cards!

Oh no it's not tacky, especially in this computer age. But I to would worry about the people who may not be computer saavy or who don't have a computer or access to a computer. There are still those stragglers out there . I'd be so nervous, but at the same time mail is not 100% reliable either. Go for it. The key is to make sure you have either a phone number or email address for your guests so you can followup with people if you haven't gotten a response.

I don't think it's tacky either. I am going to send rsvp cards with return address but no postage if they want to send it in the mail they can add a postage stamp but also give my weddingwire rsvp website to respond there. We already got responses back from our save-the-dates with the website. Even some of our older relatives used the website. It's faster to get on your computer and respond than take a card to the closest mailbox.

We didn't even do paper invites! It's 2014 and even my grandmother is on Facebook so everyone has an email. To spend hundreds of dollars on invitations makes no sense when there are services like Paperless Post that does really nice invitations. They have an envelope, and the invitation pops out like a real invitation. We then used the Wedding Wire RSVP option, so far it's worked just fine. I do think Wedding Wire is the best RSVP site available, and it's free! I saved around $300 which I can now use for special treats during our reception. No one keeps invitations these days anyways! And this way RSVPs are easy to submit. We have entered the RSVPs for two of our older guests, so it's not been that much extra work. This is also a green option for environmentally conscious brides!
