Invitation Opinions Needed

chelseakopperud · December 2011

I found these today on Etsy and fell in love. Thanksfully, my mom loves them too! What do you ladies think?

The current plan is to do RSVP post cards and a reception card. Is that enough? Am I missing something?

TIA!!

Love them. I just did a reception card and response card along with the invite. I don't think an accomodations card is necessary when it's on our website. Are you doing plated dinners?

Oh! I really like the script font. Pretty!
I haven't even thought about invitations (eek!) so I'm no help in what should be included.

Nope- heavy hors d'ouevres only. :) (which I will include on the reception card so people aren;t expecting dinner)

If I decide to do a website and phone number instead of RSVP post cards, can that information go right on the reception card?

Ok I was gonna suggest the way I'm doing response cards because it's really simple to tell who's eating what but nevermind haha. And phone number for RSVPs? I would probably just do old school and have them mail it in because I personally get nervous talking on the phone sometimes and put it off and I'd hate for people to put it off and delay you

Love those! Great find, Chelsea.

midgetthemighty · December 2011

The wrong names are on these gorgeous invitations!! Haha, jk. Love them.

We're using a phone number RSVP and it's going right on the invitation. I think you can put it wherever you want.

Yeah there are automated services that do it for you- so the people calling done actually have to talk to anyone. We would have an email option too (which is what most people would do, but we figured we needed another option for older guests). We havent decided for sure yet.... I am leaving it up to my mom!

That's pretty sweet though!

midgetthemighty · December 2011

Yeah, you have to pay for the professional ones. I wish I could remember the name of the company my BFF told me about. It was actually the same or cheaper than envelopes, RSVP cards, stamps, etc.

We're just using our home phone number. Saving money and paper!

We were thinking of listing my parents home number (I only have a cell phone) but putting it second (behind the email address) so that most people use the email address.

Jessica632011 · December 2011

LOVE these invitations... great find Chelsea!

amonis · December 2011

Chelsea I love these! Who is the etsy seller?

Rethany · December 2011

These are cute Chelsea!! Great find

jeberes08 · December 2011

Awesome! I almost got the same ones- but I didn't. haha I'm also doing a postcard RSVP. I'm ordering the invitation, reception card, RSVP postcard and accommodations. I think what you're ordering is enough though.

kelsey+brandon · December 2011

We doing our invitation with a response card and reception card - so the same as you. We're having a plated dinner, but we're just having a duo plate, so no choices.

Those are really pretty too! I've never heard of doing a telephone RSVP for a wedding...I would be one of those people that put off making the call.

SheilaDancer43 · December 2011

I've seen those on etsy and I love them!

kks4471 · December 2011

Oooo those are very nice! I think you're good with the RSVP and reception card. Great find!

SoSaysTara · December 2011

Yeah.. I HATE talking on the phone so I would be one to not call. Also, I think I'd be nervous if I couldn't make it.

MMRoberts11 · December 2011

I LOVE those! If I didn't have ours mostly designed already I would have to steal that.

I'm with Kelsey, if I had to call I'd procrastinate on it just because I don't really like talking on the phone. If that works for your guests though go for it.

peachykeen26 · December 2011

Those are the ones I based mine off of. Just saying

I love those!! Actually we are deciding between those invitations and another set on etsy that are similar. I just loved that the font was the focus of the invite! :)
