Help with wedding RSVP?

Question

Ok i want people to rsvp to my email or my phone.. Dose anyone know how i could word this? Or is this tacky?

Answer 1

I think it's tack, but if it's what you want to do simply write:

Please RSVP by [insert date] with number of attendees.
email address
phone number

Answer 2

No it's not tacky and would save you on having to purchase reply cards and stamps, however, keep in mind that a lot of people still don't have computers and don't use the internet -like grandma and old uncle Pat. And though they could use the phone to call you, unless you are going to be diligent about recording who called and their addresses you could risk "losing" someone. It's not a bad idea in general but it could get out of hand if you don't watch it closely. At least receiving a reply card you can keep them all in one place AND you'll have an accurate account of who came so that you can send thank you cards. So while it may save you time and money in the onslaught, sending RSVP cards will save you frustration in the long run. And for how you would word it, just put "Please RSVP to [e-mail] or call 123-456-7890".

i would just like to point out that i chose this method of having people RSVP to my own wedding (in 5 days!!! yay!) after seeing my sister's wedding in december. she had written RSVP's and hardly got ANY. also, a lot that she DID get, because they were mailed in quite early, didn't wind up even showing because things came up in the mean time. i had sooooooooo many people tell me what a great idea it was to have email (i made a special email account just for the occasion) and phone number RSVP's. its sooo easy and hassle free, they loved it, and i have gotten many more RSVPs than my sister, AND people have been able to easily update me if things have come up and they can no longer make it.

to those that say its tacky, come on, we live in a DIGITAL age!! written letters may be nice and special nowadays, but more people love convenience.

just say something like what i said:

please RSVP before _/_/07 by calling us 555-555-5555 or
if you prefer, email us at samandsue'[e-mail]

i especially liked having the seperate wedding email account, and found it to be a nice touch to my wedding.

oh! also, if you make a webpage on theknot.com (its free as im sure you know) you can add an RSVP link. I did this too, but found that many of my guests had problems with it, where it only let them decline. it's worth putting out there though, i still got plenty of RSVP's through it, maybe they fixed the glitch. the knot is a GREAT wedding resource anyway!

Answer 4

How about "RSVP at [e-mail] or [phone]"

That should give the hint not to send letters. I don't think it's tacky; it's modern and it is polite of them to RSVP in the promptest way possible.

Very strict etiquitte says that you should have written replies to written invitations, but I don't believe anyone will hold it against you. I'm not a fan of formalities anyway. I'd do what you want to do.

Congratulations!

Answer 5

Answer 7

Answer 8

The privilege of your response to (e-mail) or (phone #) would be appreciated by (date).

It isn't the "normal" way to do it, and you may end up calling a bunch of people to find out if they are coming. But it does cut down on postage and paper costs. Whatever works for you.

Answer 9

tacky
