RSVP via Wedding Website

Hopiate, on June 12, 2017 at 3:52 AM Posted in Planning 0 5

We'd preferably like our guests to RSVP via a wedding website, but I'm not certain how to word this on the wedding invitation exactly. Do I print a seperate card with the website address and a "Please kindly RSVP at" or do I just put it on the bottom of our invitations? Also, what is your general opinion of RSVPing online instead of a response card?

    We just put it at the bottom of our invite. I don't think it needs a seperate card. Great wat to save paper, money & more convenient for your guests.

    We are doing this. Something to be mindful of, do you have any guests that do not have internet access? Sometimes older generations would not be able to RSVP through something like that unless they had someone younger do it for them. Other than that we saw no issue, since everyone we are inviting has access to the internet and are on the more "tech savvy" side. We are using The Knot for our site and it's been fairly easy to navigate - I had it all set up before knowing WW also had the same features.

    ETA: the only reason I bring it up is if my grandparents were still alive they would have not a darn clue how to do it and would likely just call me.

    * Our hope is that it will save on people RSVPing for people who are not invited since when you look up your name it shows you exactly who is invited, then if they select they are attending, it gives the options for the dinner entree selection (which also helps keep me organized). We are having an adults only affair and have heard so many stories on here about people returning cards with their kids RSVP'd on it.

    I'm doing this and one of my friends did this for her wedding a year ago. I have a separate card that says kindly rsvp at ....... My friend put her please rsvp statement at the bottom of her invitations, so I think either is fine. I also made sure that I had some traditional invitations with mail rsvp cards for people who are either not tech savvy or who don't have Internet like our grandparents and some elder family friends.

    Be very specific on how to RSVP. So yes please mention where they can RSVP.

    We put it on a separate insert card, which we would have used for details anyway. We listed the 3 entrée choices and how to respond via the website (the address had been on our save the dates, too). We also listed our wedding e-mail address, for "special dietary concerns and late responses." Funny, but adding that last line may have instilled the "fear of God," into the guests, because 248 of 250 invited guests responded 10 days before our due date. My then 87 year old grandmother was able to respond - she loved our website - and she primarily uses her computer to play games,
