RSVP

So now that the invitations have been circulating for a week and a half, a lot of our guests have been responding via email and phone to let us know that they received them, so that's awesome! The post regarding the invitations will come soon, maybe today or tomorrow, once I upload the photos of the finished products ^^

The best part about guests receiving our invites is that the RSVPs have already started to roll in! Because the majority of guests are using our website and online form to RSVP, we have been waking up every morning ecstatic to check emails. It's been a lot of fun so more, and we can't wait for more to come in.

To keep track of it all, of course I have a google doc:

names have been censored to protect the innocent, hehe ^^
As each guest RSVPs, we highlight with either blue (YAY!) or red (nay) and then include the following information (from the form they fill out):

1. names of those attending
2. how many people are attending
3. how many vegetarian meals they would like
4. how they RSVP (what number email or if they called my mother)

The yellow highlights are when we first made the doc and are for people that most likely can't make it because of distance or situation. We were trying to get an idea of the total numbers, but it's still too early on to tell!!


RSVPing to a wedding is so exciting. I absolutely LOVE getting invitations in the mail, and find a lot of happiness in RSVPing.It's nice hearing from people that they have enjoyed our invitations as well. Even though a lot of our family and friends can simply tell us that they're coming, or it's very obvious that they're coming, it's still so nice to receive a confirmed RSVP email. Besides, we included a blurb asking guests to give us some advice about our wedding/marriage and those have been so fun to read!

Once we get the majority of RSVPs we can then start to plan out seating charts, etc. Fun fun!
