Text rsvp on invitation

Kristen, on June 2, 2018 at 1:37 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 15
Hi everyone!! I need some advice! I included at the bottom of my wedding invitations a line that said,
"kindly respond by mail or text nicki at 555-555-5555"

I did include rsvp cards for people to reply by mail, but I'm just wondering if it looks really bad to have also included a number for people to text on the actual wedding invitation?

    I added my phone number on our invitations. I got more rsvps that way than with rsvp cards!

    I would only do this if it's a VERY casual wedding.

    I did the same thing, a number and an email.

    A text option on an RSVP screams casual wedding. If that’s what you’re going for then that’s perfectly fine.

    I feel like it’d annoy me getting text rsvps. Constant texts would just irritate me. I agree with PP, this seems very casual. If it’s a casual wedding, ok. However if it’s formal, this really isn’t a proper option.

    I like it! It keeps your wedding modern and in the now. It's also better for the environment!

    I agree that this works only for a casual wedding. BTW, do you have the phone numbers for all your guests in your contact list? If not, how are you going to know who is responding if they don't include their names - and I can guaranty there will be some who won't.

    We're having a very casual wedding and included the option to RSVP on our wedding website or by phone (didn't specify texting) on the backs of our invitations. We didn't do reply cards or other inserts to cut down on paper. It seems like you've already ordered your invitations from your post though...a little late to ask for advice.

    I’m doing online RSVPs with the option of texts or calls. I want to do my best to make our wedding eco friendly, so cutting back paper where possible is easy.

    I don't think it looks bad at all and it does NOT "scream casual wedding." I think it is very up to date on the times. We live in an ever changing world. Its 2018. It's also a lot faster. Plus, where I live, there isn't even a mail processing center. All our mail has to first go out of town and THEN come back to our town.

    I've seen this a decent amount recently (I guess with all the millennial starting to get married). Some put their own phone number but a lot use a text rsvp service, there's nothing wrong with doing this for your wedding. Services I've seen used for weddings:
