I really dislike online RSVP-ing for weddings. It seems very impersonal and not very "nice" to me. If I cannot attend, I like to write a personal letter to include in the RSVP and online, you can't do that. Actually, both online RSVP forms we have to do are only for YES so I have to email the bride or track her down on FB (if I don't know her well enough for her email info) and send a well wishes message so they don't think we just blew them off.
I know it saves on stamps, but if you go through the trouble of having beautiful invites done on nice stationary then why not just slap a mailed in RSVP in the envelope as well? It seems so much more proper.
Just my $0.02.
Re: Wedding RSVP vent
Seriously, I was just about to write that myself.... I mean, DH and I always kidded about sending out an Evite for the wedding, but seriously... people are actually DOING that?! So tacky...
Yes, so you get a beautiful stationary invite with 1 insert that says "Please RSVP at www.brideandgroom.brides.com
Then you go to the website and it's their wedding website and it has their registry, their story, their pix, bridal party info, hotel info, etc. Then RSVP. Then you click on that and enter your names if you are going.
It's so weird to me. I said to DH, "Why spend all this money on beautiful stationary and have people RSVP online, that is so tacky!" but he said I was being judgemental, so I decided to vent here lol.
