Website RSVP

I posted on my Facebook about our wedding website. The wedding isn't until September so I haven't even sent out STD let alone invitations so I was wondering if I need to send them invitations. I'm not trying to be cheap about it or whatever but they already rsvpd so im not sure what to do

Re: Website RSVP

  • A wedding is a formal affair, it calls for formal invitations.  Invitations don't need to go out until 6-8 weeks before the wedding.

    Did you have you wedding website private or by invitation only?  Since you posted on FB, you could have every single person that saw your post go and RSVP.

  • I don't care if I was invited to a wedding via FB and I RSVP'd "yes," if I never got an invitation in the mail I wouldn't show up because I'd assume I wasn't invited after all.

  • Can we be facebook friends so I can come to your wedding?

    [QUOTE]Yeah, I would not use Facebook RSVPs as an official headcount. Also, your wedding is in September so I think it's early for STDs.

    That's 8 months, so I don't have a major problem with the timing of the STDs were she to send them now. Ours are going out in less than 8 weeks at the 6 month mark.

  • No it posted a link to our wedding website. I didnt invite anyone to actually go RSVP to it. If you aren't on my guest list you can't RSVP anyway. You type your name and it searches for you on the list. I wast trying to use it as a way to actually invite people. I just wanted them to look at the site.

  • Then they don't have to look at the website.

  • They are going to find out sooner or later that they aren't invited.

  • Not really. I asked do I need I send them and invite if they already rsvpd.

  • Yes, send them an invitation.  Stop posting your wedding website to facebook.  It's for people actually invited to the damn wedding.

  • Man.  Weddings are hard.

  • I just wanted input on the website. That's why I put it on fb. I didnt say here come see if you are invited or not and if you are RSVP before I even send you an invitation. Thank you Holly that is all I wanted. I didn't want to be criticized for putting something on fb. I already get enough moderating from my mother. Thanks though.

    Ding ding ding ding ding we have a winner!
  • If you want an even close to accurate headcount I would mail them. I RSVP for stuff online and forget about them, but having a physical reminder on my refigerator makes it so I won't forget
  • Unless everyone on your FB friends list is invited to the wedding (and obviously they're not), it's rude to post information about your wedding on facebook.



  • I would definitely send them an invitation. I agree with a PP that they might be confused on whether or not they were actually invited. :)
