RSVP Online Only?

I did and honestly wish I would have done traditional response cards. I'm finding people are confused by it. I even had someone mail the card that states to rsvp online back to us thinking that was the way to do it. If you have the right crowd it may be ok. I apparently don't.

Im giving out my invitations later next week and I am relying on online RSVP...

We are more than likely going to do that! Our wedding wire website has the option for guests to RSVP on the page and leave comments. I love that and think it's a great idea to save money! Especially if you are having a lot of younger guests or those who you feel would be technology savvy. For grandparents and older relatives, maybe consider sending an rsvp card.

We are doing it. We've called older folks and RSVP'd for them, but I'm waiting on 50 RSVPs out of 139 and we are two weeks out from our date. So it's a pretty good response rate.

This is what were planning to do.

This is what I really want! But we are still including response cards for our old school aunts and uncles.... sigh

That's what I did. It was ok. I was obsessively checking my email for a few weeks straight for RSVPs. For older people and/or people who aren't so computer savvy, they just let me or my mom know they were coming instead of doing the online thing. I kept saying during thr rsvp process that I wish I had done regular mail in rsvp cards but I think it's a pain in the butt either way honestly!

We went back and forth on this but ultimately didn't have room on the invitation to mention to RSVP on the website. So since we were going to have to do some kind of RSVP related insert (and we don't have other inserts) we put the option on the response card. We asked that guests either respond online or send the card back. Hopefully lots will just go online.

Due to SiberianMamas situation and feedback, we are not doing it. I am giving the option but will include the website info in it. I am betting I will more than likely have people do both or just mail it in. I'll be numbering them either way.

I'm giving my guests the option. That way if they are old fashioned and prefer to mail they can do that, and if they're younger and know how to work a computer they can RSVP online.

I think it's probably going to be a know your crowd type of thing. FH and I are having a large wedding with many older relatives, and I know a lot of them would have trouble with this method. And being that we'll have a large wedding, I don't want to have to follow up with as many people as I think I would have to that way.

We have. Since we are having short engagement it is just easier to do it online so you can see instantly who RSVPed and we don't have to worry about things get lost or delayed in the mail. We are using wedding wire to do our RSVPs so it's been a blessing. Just sick of all the verbal commitments when we see how many people have visited our site. I'm like if you take the time to go on the site, just tell us either way if you are going. Gesh lol

We're doing online only and it's working out fine so far. We got 13 RSVPs in the first week. We made all the fields required so no one can submit anything without a full name and meal choice. And we made it exciting to get an RSVP by getting notifications on our phone for our wedding email, and the subject line is "You got a new RSVP!" With a bride/groom emoji

We have exclusively online RSVPSs through Minted.com. It's been a breeze, and no one has complained. Piece. Of. Cake. Highly recommended.

@Christine. I agree. I can't see why getting a little envelope in the mail (6 days a week) would be more exciting than getting all those e-mail notifications, that you and I received.

We created a RSVP account with zola weddings, so far we have had a good turnout. It's quite expensive to send out prestamped envelopes that may or may Not be used

I just got an invite with online only option for RSVP and I know it makes me sound old fashioned or unfun- but I really don't like it. I won't be complaining to the bride or groom, but I think it feels so informal.

They stated on the invite "attire: formal" (ugh!) and then everything about their STD, invite, and response option clearly shows they're not doing anything formal on their end.

It really is a know your crowd, and match your event style choice in my opinion.

We just got our invites last week and we are exclusively doing online RSVP. We are including an RSVP card to direct people to our website and it includes the RSVP deadline date, website address and password and lets them know how many seats are reserved in their honor. We like the idea because it saves on postage, and links with our seating chart online.

We had online rsvps through WW and included a google voice number in case someone didn't want to do it online. We still had people we had to follow up with, and we didn't have any drama with people trying to add additional people.

Planning to do this too!
