Rsvp

We had both options available and out of the 50 invites only 3 people used the online option. We didn't have any issues with people adding any guests or anything.

We gave both options but I didn’t pre-stamp the return cards. We’ve only had one issue with people deciding they get a plus one

I was going to do both, but no one seems to have even bothered looking at our website so I decided not to deal with online rsvps. I’m just going to use the envelopes.

We only did mail in RSVPs. Out of 23 invites, one responded by RSVPing online anyway (it was an option, just not a made-known option), and we had one that tried to write 3 names instead of the 2 for the number of seats they were given. It was frustrating waiting on all of them to come in - seemed most arrived the week they were due, but we wound up only needing to call 3 people.

We did online RSVP only. It worked out for everyone except 2 people who said they didn't have a computer, so they called. Friday was our deadline and we are just waiting on 2 rsvps out of 86 guests. Of course it's the BM and plus one lol. Honestly, before coming on this site, I had never heard of people trying to bring extra guests unless it was parents hoping to bring children to an adults only wedding.

We did online RSVP only. Only downside was that a lot of people thought they had RSVPd and actually hadn't so we had to follow up with a bunch around the deadline. I made my own website and had the form send me an email when people RSVPd which was almost as exciting as getting physical mail (and a lot easier since I've moved 3x in the last year!).

FH suggested RSVP’s via email. I haven’t agreed to it yet but, it seems like an easy way to go for our crowd.

I thought about doing this too.
Honestly, after looking at all of the options, I just dont know that I feel like the online RSVP options give me freedom to do what I want with them.

And I had a cousin who did online rsvps a few years ago. And I got a snarky call from his mom after the RSVP deadline asking what we were doing. We had already RSVPd not coming - but their site didnt accept it.

We did only mail RSVP cards. I'm personally not a fan of the online RSVP thing just because it seems not as formal. But that is totally just a personal preference thing. Plus I am a weirdo who absolutely LOVES getting mail. I look forward to checking the mail everyday - its such a pleasant thing for me. So its been fun seeing who's is coming and everything. So far I have had no issues with people writing in extra names. Our RSVP date is June 1 and we are only waiting on 19 more responses out of like 60 invites!

We are doing online RSVP's. It is going to save us over $200. So that is the main reason for choosing the online option. I also heard horror stories from my friends who did mailed RSVP cards and would get people who would send their RSVP cards and not put any names on them. So they had no idea who had RSVP'ed or how many guests to expect from that card. So that made me nervous. The other reason I like the online option is it keeps people from being able to add guests who are not invited (which you mentioned).

If I could go back, I would do it online from the beginning. I found more people answers the questions I had on the RSVP online than on the card, but also I wasted money (cards plus postage) on those that did not send it back at all.

We did online RSVP's through our wedding website The Knot. I loved it and it was so convient.

So on The Knot you have a few options which I am aware of. For our wedding, I inserted each guest name and had it secured which means that when the guest RSVP it will only show what names I inserted so that takes away ppl who wasn't invited to RSVP. However, my friend last year did not and she had random ppl RSVP'ing under her wedding website.

I love it, it was simple and quick. I got all my RSVP back on time. Also it tallies up your food selection for you as well, so keeping track of your numbers is simple.

This is my second wedding - for my first wedding, we had all the options (online, via our website, and a designated email address), and got our responses a variety of ways. This time, though, we're just doing pre-stamped RSVP postcards with our invitations. I didn't put the website or my email on the invitation, so it's just easier.

We are doing physical RSVP cards. I was on the fence for a while, but I love getting mail and wanted to keep it a little more formal. I thought maybe of doing both options, but I've read about a lot of other people on here saying that too many options makes guests confused. I personally wouldn't be, but I just kept it classic! We will see if it works out better than the online option - I'll update you!
