Online RSVP, input needed

EDIT: Thanks for the help everyone! It turns out that at the last minute I found Wedding Wire's RSVP which works way better. But I'm glad everyone got a kick out of putting in fake names :). And Jennyann wins the prize for guessing what's at the fake address.

===

Okay, I need a few guinea pigs to "RSVP" to our wedding :). I put in a fake place & time of day for the wedding, so y'all feel free to put in fake names and/or email addresses. I just want to know if you think it's simple enough or if I need to put some instructions on how to use the form.

Wedding RSVP

It's not exactly what I wanted, but to get exactly what I wanted would probably have taken me several days and at this point my feeling is "this is close enough, my guests are smart enough that they don't need me to auto-complete half of the form for them".

... and if the first person can figure out what building is at the address listed as the fake address (no using the internet to cheat!) I'll buy your first drink at the next GTG :)

    Maybe I haven't had enough cofee but I had a hard time finding the part for RSVP.  Although I felt like a total dork when I scrolled to the top.  Filling out the form is easy enough.

    I had the exact same experience as mma.  I looked ALL over & couldn't find it, then scrolled up and there it was.
    But I had fun with the fake name!  I bet, you can figure out which is me by the phone #.
    Oh, and the address is either for Safeco Field, or that new strip clubby thing... am I right? =)

    DONE!

    Does each person in a couple/family have to RSVP on their own? I think people might be confused by this. Or if John Doe RSVPs yes, how will you know for sure if his wife Jane is coming also or if it's just him? Can you maybe make a note on there?

    I was able to figure out how you can add guests, but you might want to put a note on the RSVP main page with instructions that in order to add guests, they need to first fill in their info and click "attend" to make their meal selections and add their guests.

    HA! After all of this work it turns out that Wedding Wire's RSVP does exactly the things I want (it wasn't useful six months ago, I swear!), but yeah RSVPHere a little confusing ... if Jack and Jill are married, and Jack wants to come but Jill can't make it, do they fill out the form twice? You'd think this wouldn't be that hard.

    But at this point we will switch to WW. Whankfully we already have our guest list in there, and hopefully it won't eat our RSVPs! Thanks for all your help and I owe Jennyann a drink (it was Safeco and not the stripclub :P)
