Rolling in the RSVPs

Our invitations have been mailed out and the RSVPs are coming in! Instead of doing the traditional wedding reply cards, we opted to do electronic replies. This way, we could provide quests with additional information, as well as have a system that keeps tracks of everything for us.  It tells us who's replied yes, who's replied no, what they have selected for the entree choice and the answers to additional information that we needd to gather.  Such as, if anyone has any food allergies or restrictions. It gathers all of this very helpful and important information into one location and keeps it all properly organized until we are ready to use it.  We can then download it to our computer, if we want, or just access it from our wedding website.

As much as we loved the look of wedding invitation reply cards, doing electronic replies worked best for us.  It saved us money and drove our guests to our wedding website to make sure that they went there to gather all of the information that they need in order to travel to Maui and attend our wedding. Being able to do electronic replies was a free option provided by our wedding website provider, Wedquarters.com. We highly recommend checking them out and looking into electronic replies.

It also makes it so that quests can reply much quicker, you don't have to worry about them losing their reply cards or them getting lost in the mail. We received RSVPs the very first day that guests received their invitations. We've already received seven YES replies to our wedding.  Not bad, considering there will only be 21 at our wedding, including us. And so far almost everyone, except one, has selected the Catch of the Day as their entree selection.

If you haven't RSVPed yet, get on it! There are some fun surprises in store for our guests once they reply YES. We'd hate for anyone to miss out simply because they haven't RSVPed. In fact, for those of you who have your YES replies in before Christmas, you will all receive a little something special. But, that's a post for another time...

How are you planning on having your guests reply to your wedding? Have you thought about looking into electronic replies?
