So I'm making my own invites and I'm having some issues with the RSVPs, I need everyone's help. I thought it was a really cute idea to use song lyrics or movie quotes as the yes/no. I decided it would be easier to find music lyrics that most people knew than movie quotes. The FI wasn't really into it until I gave some examples. I want to make sure there is a kind of classic song and a more modern song so everyone gets it. Let me know what you think and I'm entirely open to more options!
Yes:
___ We're gonna party like it's 1999!-Prince
___ I'll show you all the moves like Jagger!-Maroon 5
No:
__You can't always get what you want-Rolling Stones
__ I'm sorry Miss Jackson...OOooo -Outkast (his suggestion, haha)
Re: Fun RSVPs???
[QUOTE]People always think this is a good idea, but it usually is more trouble than it's worth. Even if you pick songs that are easily recognized, people will get confused, especially if you have 2 yes and 2 no. I would save yourself the headache of all the phonecalls and explainations, and just go with simple responses.

This... unfortunately. Cute idea, but I also see it being more trouble than its worth.
There are so many other fun ways to incorporate music and movies... and to add your own little unique twist. Something like this will likely end up with a few dozen phone calls asking what you mean (and many moments of ::head desk:: for you)...

One thing I've seen done if you want to incorporate music is to have guests that are attending write down 1 song they'd like to hear at the reception.

Ugh this was my problem too. I wanted to call people and be like "Oh, so your initial is a check mark? That's cool." Stupid people.
