Online Wedding RSVP Services

Because most engaged couples are comprised of two working adults who have limited time and energy, online RSVP services have evolved as an answer to one specific pre-wedding task that can be extremely stressful. These services usually revolve around wedding invitations and responses, but they can include other services as well. In many cases, using one of these online companies can actually save the couple more than time and stress, it can also save them money.

The traditional wedding invitation has gotten heftier and heftier in recent years. In addition to the actual invitation, many couples feel the need to add an RSVP card ($2.00), tissue ($.50), and directions sheets for both the wedding venue and the reception. Depending on how fancy the invitation is, the cost can be phenomenal. Online services can eliminate several layers from the invitation while making it easier on the invited guests to respond.

How Wedding RSVP Services Work

Instead of including the RSVP card and directions, the online service helps the couple create the appropriate RSVP instructions which are then printed right on the invitation. In some cases, the instructions say to call a toll-free number and add a dedicated extension. The guest can then respond in under a minute, and the couple has even saved the cost of a return envelope stamp.

The couple may also request that responses be made by email. A wedding website may be available as well. At the website, visitors can find information about the couple (including a picture), links to gift registries, and directions to wedding venues. Other wedding RSVP services can include a call to persons on the guest list who have not responded by a specified date.
