email/phone RSVP?

in June 2012 Weddings
I'm strongly considering doing an email and/or phone RSVP for my invites instead of a mailed one. We are only sending out 20-22 invites to close family and friends, so I don't think anyone on our list would side-eye it. 

For those of you doing this, how did you/are you going to word it on your invitations? 

Or is it a bad idea?

TIA!

    We are not doing this but if it is such a small reception I don't really think this would be a problem.  I would just advise against using a website to have people RSVP to in case it goes down.

    I debated on this... but my Mom insisted I have RSVP cards for the older generation. I do have an option to RSVP on our website. We are sending out 75 invites; I am sure you will be okay on 20. Worst case you could call people if they do not RSVP.

    We're asking people to RSVP via our website, or phone. I think a website is super easy, but phone should cover all of the older, not-so-tech-savvy guests.

    If someone asked me to RSVP via email/phone, I would think the wedding is really laid back, informal setting. I would also be worried about any older generation people, who either wont know how to use the internet or would be upset that you're not following standard procedure. Personally, I might forget to RSVP if I don't have something to physically send it.

    I would still send a card with your information on it instead of putting it on the Invitation as that may come across as tacky.
    If it's a more casual wedding, I would simply put an email address AND a phone number

    I think people will get it if you put it on a card.

    So,
    RSVP
    DATE
    777-777-7777
    blah blah at youknow dot com

    Kindly Respond By:
    DATE
    Phone number
    Email Address

    I had thought about the older generation, but the only older generation people left in our families are honestly more tech savvy than I am! LOL

    It is a more informal, laid back wedding for sure. 

    I'm just torn, honestly! 

    Thanks for the input, ladies!

    We're doing a phone number for over 300 guests and just said "Please RSVP by DATE  to PHONE NUMBER". I really don't care if anyone side eyes it. I'm saving money and trees.

    I'm leaning towards this mentality. Is it directly on your invite - as in, at the very bottom? Is it under "reception to follow" wording? Sorry, but I think this is the route we will go and I'd love your input!
