RSVP'd online before receiving invite

jcough2

Hi all,
I created my TK wedding website and left the RSVP open (I'm not tech savvy and had no clue guests could see it). Now guests have begun to RSVP including meal choices after receiving their STD. While I am thrilled to already see who is coming, I am not sure if I should still send them invitations, or at least invitations with RSVP cards since they already told me they will be there and what they will be eating. Also, do I need to send invites to those who RSVP "No" on my wedding website?  I know that I should probably just send everyone the invite but will people think their online RSVP didn't count?

Yes, still send everyone invitations even if they have already responded. It may cause confusion especially if your invite said 'invitation to follow' and no invitation ever followed. For the declines, who knows something may change between now and then where they might be able to come, so definitely still send them an invite.

Yes, you would still send people who are invited invitations.

Send invitations, including to those who have RSVPd no.  They may be able to RSVP yes if things change.

Definitely still send the invitations.

Also, you may want to keep a second spreadsheet to serve as a backup to the RSVP function.   It was nearly 9 years ago that I got married but TK's RSVP function was notoriously unreliable back then and was for at least the last few years.

@banana468 is right, and I would suggest saving it both on a flash drive and in a cloud (Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, etc.).

I'm on the side of sending them still to everyone. Like one poster said, those who may have declined may change to a yes and the same could go to those that have accepted. Once they see the details & it's closer to the time, they may have to decline.
