WeddingWire reps please respond! MAJOR ETIQUETTE FAIL: just received a "Gift Reminder Email" from The Knot!

Hi all,

I don't use The Knot - obviously I use WeddingWire - but a friend of mine is getting married about a month before me, and yesterday I got an email from The Knot with the subject line "Gift Reminder Email: Bride Name & Groom Name, Wedding Date." This is HORRIBLE!

I would be MORTIFIED if my guests received something like this. Does anyone know if WeddingWire does this? I'm sure it's automated and that they don't even know that it went out, but now I'm paranoid the same thing will happen to my guests. I guess I could ensure it wouldn't be removing all their email addresses, but I'd love some confirmation from WeddingWire that this is NOT A THING because it is SO, SO BAD.

Can anyone weigh in on this and confirm for me that it won't happen to me? And if WeddingWire does this automatically, how can I override it to make sure this doesn't happen to my guests?

Thanks all!

I have a wedding website set up with rsvp but now i'm afraid guests will receive a tacky gift reminder. Is it weird to just send an online save the date with the website on it and then send paper rsvp to all guests?
Do I need to send a formal invitation if the save the date and website is sort've an invitation? Just trying to cut costs and not do paper invitations.

YES! There is another post abut this from today and I would recommend looking at it. You could avoid save the dates but an invite is a must. The only person who looked at our wedding website was not even invited to the wedding. You definitely could make the invite cheap and minimal but there needs to be one.

That's exactly what we did. Paper RVSPs are the traditional method.
