Wedding Invites Advice

That's actually a great idea!

I sadly didn't think of this. I have had a couple people not include their names on the RSVP card, but they included in on the envelope as their return address so I just looked at that.

Quick question about this, if you have an invite that’s addressed to more than one guest like a couple and the mark 1 attending, how do you know which one is attending? I want to do the escort cards correctly based off the rsvps so I wasn’t sure how that worked if not the whole group invited can come?

View Quoted Comment Aww man that stinks. But luckily you still had some form of identification. So far this one didn’t have any form of identification so I got lucky that I took the time to number.

View Quoted Comment I would suggest reaching out to them to figure out which one is able to come. It would be a little extra work on your part to figure it out but I would assume it would only be handful that you may need to sort out.

The number or identification method would make it easier for you to identify the family and how many are coming from them. Luckily for me, I could identify the person who didn’t write in their name and we already knew their plus 1 was iffy (most likely a no).

A friend of mine did exactly that and said she was so glad she did! She has been encouraging me to the same for my upcoming nuptials. I plan on it!

Wow...great advice. I never thought about it. Thanks!

View Quoted Comment That’s so awesome that your friend did it and is encouraging you. I came across this online at some point. I just never thought it would be needed. I kind of was living in the “perfect” world scenario like everyone will put their name on the invites. I was just shocked that it came in handy.

I know one suggestion I saw was to prefill it out for them: “We have Mr. & Mrs. XXX down for a party of 2. Is this correct? Yes or No (insert number of guest)”

I might would have done that if we had finalized our guest list when we ordered our invitations. But that’s another thought.

View Quoted Comment No problem! It will definitely save stress if you can identify who said who if they forget to put their names on it.

Another thing that you might could do, especially if you print the addresses on labels to make 2 copies and use the 2nd copy as the return address for the RSVP.

How smart! I'll do that! If I don't forget

View Quoted Comment I’ll try to remind you once it is closer for you to send invites out.

Our guests are pretty tech savvy so we directed them to our wedding website and minted has an amazing rsvp tracker that only allows guest to rsvp for the number of people you allow! It also allows private rsvps to events like the rehearsal dinner and welcome party

View Quoted Comment That’s awesome. Our guest have the opportunity to pick but most of them definitely waited to rsvp through mail. I don’t have a problem either one. But it is nice to know there are a lot of options for keeping track of RSVP 😁

View Quoted Comment Another great tip! I’m not at the point where I’m sending out invites yet. However, this is all good info for when it’s time. I plan on getting save the dates out sometime this Fall.

View Quoted Comment Ha ha thank you! You know me already . id forget my head, if it wasn't attached 😆

View Quoted Comment I did the same as you..One less stress .
