Include wedding website in wedding invitation or not?

Denise , on August 4, 2009 at 2:50 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 21

Hi all, I cannot find anything in any of the etiquette sites about this. I know it is a fairly new idea, the wedding website, but I don't want to make a faux pas. I should explain that we are getting married out of state on a beach and want everyone to get as much information about the where's & when's as possible. That is why I did the website in the first place. Help!

    What we did was put the site on the RSVP cards. The cards state all the traditional stuff and then at the bottom is says for additional information please visit the website. Many people have visited and RSVP'ed on there.

    Hi Denise,

    Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Many of my brides are doing the same thing with wedding websites. I think it's a great idea. Some of the brides use it in their save-the-dates. Others have included it on their RSVP card, or have a separate card incorporated in their invitation packet briefly explaining the informational website. Hope this helps. Best wishes to you!

    What I am doing instead of putting the website on our invitations I am putting it on our RSVP card and including additonal informtion about the hotel etc. This will help people to understand and to get more information. Plus nowadays many people do things off line so I wanted to give people the opption to RSVP online as well.

    We put our wedding website on the save the date magnets. I have never seen anyone put it on the invite but if you are I really like the response card idea. Especially if you are allowing people to RSVP online.

    I think it is a good idea. One thing you can also include in the website is where you are registered. Good luck!

    We included our website on the save the dates and the invitations as well. We have seal n send invites (all in one invite you just fold up, seal and send) so we did include it right on the invite. If you're doing a more traditional invitation you may want to include it on the RSVP card (as previously suggested) or if you are including an additional insert with info on it, just put it on there.

    We included the website on the save the date. We'll relist it with the invitations- on the page w/directions and hotel information

    I think it would be ok to put it on the invite, ior even on the inserts, I am just doing the wedding ceremony info on the invite, then inculding RSVP info(online and phone) and reception info on an insert, along with our website..

    I also wanted to add that we sent out Save The Date magnets and used MagnetStreet.com...I highly recommend them. They were fabulous and the magnets turned out wonderful. Almost everyone who received one commented on how great they were. I just wanted to pass it along.

    I did have the website on the magnet, I was wondering how to include it in the invitation packet that will be sent months later when people may have forgotten about the site.

    Thanks again!

    Denise- I just ordered my invitations and di include the website. all guests and wedding party are out of town. I put it on the last line I could on the actual invitation. Our website provides accomidation info and attractions for the area. I think if you want to put it on there do it. No one will think its a faux pas. I wanted to provide my guests with all the info I could.

    I just included a business card size paper with my invitation that had the website listed. I'm not sure if the RSVP card makes sense because people send that back in and then they are left without that information.

    We put our website URL at the bottom of our invitations. We didn't send out save the dates, and our response card had some other stuff on it. Since our website gives general info about the wedding as opposed to just registry info, we didn't think it would be poor etiquette to include the URL at the bottom of the invite.

    I put it on the bottom of the RSVP card as the preferred way to RSVP. I've also been/plan on sending out an email here and there (e.g., save the date, wedding website is ready, hotel information ready, invitations sent out, etc. With each of these emails I'll be adding the wedding website information somewhere in the text.

    I recently wrote this post about wedding website etiquette: http://www.nearlyweds.com/blog/2010/04/28/wedding-website-etiquett/ I wouldn't put the wedding website on the RSVP card because they have to send that back to you. A week before the wedding they'll probably forget where to go and won't have it anymore. I would suggest adding it to your directions or reception information card. Emily Post says you can put it anywhere except the actual invitation, meaning the card that says when the wedding is happening. Hope that helps!

    I think that it is your day and you can do whatever you want. Im sorry, but that is the attitude I am trying to take. We do not live in 1850 anymore and the rules and the world have changed. Etiquette is slow to change, but honestly does all of that really matter? If you are like us and 95% of our guest list is internet savvy then why not provide them a website which has everything they need to know, including a way to RSVP in two seconds, right at their fingertips? If people are turned off by your rebelion against the old rules then they don't have to come... I see the point, no one wants to be talked about as a rule breaking bride....but well behaved women never make history. I say we should do what makes us happy and be happy! Best of luck!

    Would it be improper to just have the reception card say to RSVP on line -- giving the url -- and not provide an option to mail back a response card? All of our guests are computer savvy. I can see providing the card to mail back if you have elderly guests who would not have access or knowledge of how to RSVP online.

    I think that having the reception card say RSVP online with the url is acceptable. I would also leave a phone option for those that aren't computer saavy or for those that may have questions. I was thinking of ordering response cards with this wording similar to this:

    Kindly RSVP by July 25, 2014 via our wedding website: [insert url]

    If you prefer to RSVP by phone, please call Monique at XXX-XXX-XXXX.
