Instead of asking for a wedding response card to be mailed back is it tacky to ask for the response via phone call or email?

This actually is becoming more common. In fact there are RSVP companies that people can hire to manage their responses by telephone and the Internet. Here is a website that may give you some examples of how you can word your response card: http://www.rsvpservices.com/samples.asp.
Instead of using and RSVP company, you can designate your own telephone number and e-mail. I would give your guests options of either responding by telephone or e-mail. This way they can pick which option that is most convenient for them.
You might want to look into setting up a wedding web page with The Knot since they have an option for guests to RSVP while visiting your website (along with providing other wedding details for your guests. Registering for The Knot is free of charge: http://www.theknot.com

remember it is your wedding-do what you want-my opinion on this question would be that it is or sounds a little tacky but than again we are living in the 2000's now so why not be the first one to start a new thing-
there might be one problem that may occur doing this is you might lose track of who called and emailed unless you carry something with you at all times to record when someone calls or email-with the respoce card you can just stack em up in a pile in a safe spot and on the deadline go through them all at once-good luck and congratulations!!

Some people who are really traditional might consider it tacky, but I did it because it was very convenient for both me and the respondents. Many people actually appreciate the email/phone option. I think it's practical and modern! Plus, who wants to walk to the mail box?

It's your day! I personally don't think it's tacky at all. This way it gives everyone a chance to call you or email you and if they have any questions they have a number to call. Congratulations and best of luck.

It is kind of tacky, since not everyone has email or might fell bad calling and giving an explanation as to why they cant attend.

Give people the option of email or a traditional response card. Your great-aunt Bertha might not have email, so a response card would work better for her.

Yes, it's tacky. Spring for the response cards and return postage.

It is, yes. People like a sense of formality where a wedding is concerned. If you want to keep costs down, you can have the RSVP be a post card instead.

Leave the response card traditional. However, I might include a separate information card of sorts with a map to the church/reception, accommodation listings, registry info. and RSVP instructions.

This is an interesting idea....save money on stamps this way. However.....you would be sending out A LOT of invitations...That would be A LOT of phone calls....but.....the email address, that wouldn't be so bad....I think you have just given me an idea...lol...thanks
