Postcard type wedding invitations.

Roberta, on December 4, 2019 at 11:22 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 8

Has anyone ever done or seen postcard type of invitation? With an email RSVP? What about "in lieu of gifts donation for honeymoon appreciated"? Do you have to do a bridal registry? We live together and combined two household contents.

Thoughts?


Thanks

Roberta

    You don’t have to do a registry, but gifts shouldn’t be mentioned anywhere on your invitations. I’ve never seen postcard invites, but I’ve seen plenty of one card invitations with a link to RSVP.

    Thanks so much. I created my own postcard invitations. I do not have anything about gifts, just checking.

    Thanks again. I really appreciate your help.

    You don't have to mention gifts but you can say registry. We have a honeymoon registry website and that's all. If folks feel obliged to give a gift, it will go towards our honeymoon.

    Are you planning on having a wedding website? If so, guests could RSVP on there! You could also include registry information, along with useful details such as accommodation, etc. A wedding website with additional information may be a great way to save space on your postcard invitations Smiley smile

    A post card invitation will potentially convey to guests that the wedding is quite casual. If that's what you're going for, it's a good option. If the wedding is actually fairly formal, guests might get the wrong idea from the invitations. I agree with others that NOTHING regarding gifts or a registry should ever be on the wedding invitation. I think directing guests to a wedding website to RSVP, and where the registries can also be listed/linked, might be a great option for you. Daughter had a fairly formal wedding, and found the RSVP application on her Knot website to be great!

    Don't ask for money in any form. You can, however, have a registry identified on your website.

    I've never seen a post card invite but I have seen post card save the dates. We're doing that. I definitely wouldn't ask for money anywhere on the invite but if you have a wedding website, you can add your registry/honeymoon fund on there and just put your website link on your invite.

    First, a donation to your honeymoon IS a gift

    Second, don't mention gifts or registries on invitations ever - very rude

    Third, if you don't want a traditional registry, just don't have one - people will gift you money
