Online Rsvps

Nope, nothing tacky about online RSVPs.

I definitely don't think it's tacky. From a guest's perspective, I thought it was super convenient and a brilliant time-saver. But you may be right that the older folks might not be so keen.

I think it’s totally fine!! We were thinking of doing something along those lines. Not tacky at all!

We gave all guests an option to use online or via mail (with a stamped envelope) That way nobody had any excuse to not respond. We only had a handful of people use online RSVPs so thankfully, we didnt waste too many stamps!

View Quoted Comment I’m more or less concerned that printing my own details cards in place of a formal RSVP card is tacky. Or that sending some guests RSVP cards and not all is tacky. I’m not sure. It’s just very untraditional and I don’t know how I feel about it lol

I did online RSVPs and used the Zola site. Worked great for me and made it super simple to keep up with who had reaponded to which events.

I think it's ok to do that. I only sent mail invites out to older guests and everyone else got an email invite to RSVP online

Definitely not tacky at all. I'm going to be doing all of my rsvps online. No rsvp card to return. Just a waste in my opinion. If folks aren't internet savvy, they can give me or my fiance a phone call. No problem!

If I hadn't created a Facebook event page for it I would have no idea who is coming. I mailed out 75 invites and only got back 5 RSVP cards

FH wants to only send paper invites to older guests period. I showed him how much the cost of the invites doubles if we only order 25 vs. 100 and he quickly shut up. I will be using online only RSVP as well. If people can't figure out using a very simple website they can call me or my mom. I'm not wasting stamps or money on cards for a few select people who are perfectly capable of using a computer.

My idea was to mail out RSVPs to everyone. On the RSVP I'll give them the choice to do it online or send back the RSVP, but they would have to get their own stamp. This way it gives them the choice (plus saves just a little bit on stamps?).

That is what we are doing!!! I just couldn't justify all that money when I thought people might actually prefer the online option!
I was actually super torn until we were invited to 2 weddings (both were this month) and the online one I RSVPd the day I received the invite, and the mail in one I kept forgetting to out back in the mail until the bride had to reach out to me and the others that hadn't sent it back in a week before the deadline...

My 92 yo Grandma asked me what Wi-Fi was during the summer.

I sent stamped RSVP Post Cards with all the Invitations. This was traditional and easier for me and everyone else (I presumed). I still had some that weren’t sent back. I followed up via text a few times the two weeks prior to and the week of my RSVP deadline. My Cousins kids (early 20’s) never even bothered to reply at all. I saw one of them the week of my Wedding and asked point blank if they planned to attend. They chose to go to a family reunion that will be held again. I was getting Married ONCE. I did more for them than their Dead Beat Daddy ever did, but people do what’s important to them.

I found a great website that lets you completely customize your RSVP card and download them to print. Greetings Island is the name. I just googled "online RSVP wording" and added one I liked. I am printing through a service, but I think as long as you print in color and on cardstock, no one will notice a difference!

I think it's fine! We've only been invited to two weddings that did online only RSVPs but I didn't think it was tacky.

In our situation we are living abroad and all the other guests are back in the US. We really didn’t want to pay the international postage but most of all didn’t want a weeks delay in the mail so we opted for online. We did online for everyone, had “RSVP card” that had our website, password and most importantly phone number to call if you wanted to RSVP that way or had questions. I don’t think it’s tacky and we had no issues!

I was torn with this myself and this is what I was thinking of doing while still sending an RSVP. I know some older folks will send the card back in the mail and I'm ok with that (I will probably add the stamp for convenience for them); but I'm figuring everyone will hopefully RSVP online...stamps are expensive now.

Hey love, we are thinking of doing the same thing. Online and printed invites for the older people. I think that its a good idea. Saves money and for the online RSVP, at least you can get a response instantly with just a click. Hope it all works out.

This is totally fine and actually pretty common now! I love having the option to RSVP online!

I did all of my RSVPing online! It was great and only a few people were confused! I also have a guest list that is mainly between 20-45 years old so they knew how to use the internet
