Online RSVP only?

I just mailed my invites on yesterday. We're allowing for both mail or online. I understand the part about the double expense of the stamp for the RSVP envelopes but you really can't get around it. And yes, if most of the guests respond online that money will be wasted. I wasn't comfortable with online only because I feel like older relatives/guests probably wouldn't use it.

My one concern is I hope people who RSVP online realize this excludes them from having to mail the RSVP card back. I don't want a double response especially if they have a different meal on one versus the other!

We did both, even those who are tech savvy have been mailing them back. I'm with St. Paul Gal, there is something really exciting about getting them in the mail and seeing personalized notes written on them. It's like getting a present every day. It's also fun to get them online, it's just fun overall! We've had people do both (RSVP online and by mail), but since I'm tracking everything in a spread sheet, it hasn't confused us yet.

Honestly, maybe I'm old fashioned, but I would side eye. We offered both traditional and online rsvp. Only three people used online, and then followed up by mailing it in as well!

However, for some people it is easier to do online if they are on computer/phone all the time anyway.

I'm doing online only. Half my guests are overseas, so I wouldn't be able to stamp the envelopes and I'd worry about them coming back to me.

Keep in mind if you send both, you're likely going to get most mailed back to you. People won't want to waste your stamp! You'll prob also see a lot of people reply online and then still send in their card.

We are planning to give both options!

Online worked fine for us. We already knew which grandparents were coming and they're the only ones without email, so we just added that number to what was gathered online. Super easy!

It really just depends on the family & friends you have. Depends if you have some older people (grandparents, great aunts, uncles, etc) that have a hard time with the computers. In lesser terms it's like what everyone has been saying. Just know your crowd dear. (:

I sent them the invite card by mail and the RSVP's online. It worked out great.. Definitely followed up with some people that I knew would have a problem. But much easier for me.

Thanks all. We don't have too many older folks in our crowd, most of FH's and my family are all on facebook, text, etc. However it seems like I'll still just include the RSVP card/envelope anyway and just suck it up about the cost. I'll put a link on the RSVP card in case anyone wants to RSVP online.

Thanks

@Brandon, you can knock it off with the pet names. None of us are your "dear."
