Invitation Tips

[Jenn060306]

The other day i got a really awsome tip for when i am doing my invitations.
Since sometimes people do not fill in their names on the RSVP cards, number the back corner to match a number next to that guests name. This way you're not trying to figure out who has said yes or no.
Also... When you're writing you invitation envelopes write the thank you card envelopes. Keep the envelopes in a box alphabethically, and when you receive something write the card and drop it in the mail box :)
Anyways... i thought these would make my life a little easier in June, i won't have to scramble trying to find an address again.
I thought you guys might like the ideas. :cool:

Hey that is a great idea! Now if only there was some way for the response card to fill itself out and hop back in the mailbox:D LOL!! I hear alot of people don't send the cards back they just show up:bbconfused:

Great tips! I may have to use those ;) Like Becky said though, many people don't even bother to send the REVP back anyway.

Best wishes,

Good one Becky. I had heard the number one before, but not the addressing of thank you cards...that's a GREAT idea! Then when it comes to filling out those dreaded things, you only have to think of the words to get in them, you don't have to organize out addresses and this and that...I'm definitely doing that...as for the numbers...definitely doing that one as well...although, like Becky said, if only there was a way to make them fill themselves out and jump back into the mailbox...:)

LOL!! Maybe they will come out with some that have a chip implanted into the paper that reads the person's minds!:bblol: That would do the trick.:bblol: Bet those suckers would be expensive!!

I heard of this trick and thought it was a great idea. The downfall maybe that if the guest turns over the RSVP and sees a number, they may think, 'Oh, I am just a number' or they may think the number has some meaning as to how important that person is...Tough I say, I am using it anyway.:bbmrgreen:

When I got married, we didn't have a problem with them coming back nameless, we just had a problem with people not returning them!!! That was one of the things that I hated the most and fired me up the most!! I know people have lives and things but its not that hard to look at a calander and figure out if they could make it!! I think I had to call like ten people (couples/families)!! And even then, some of them didn't get back to me!! So I figured, you don't call, you don't come!! It really makes you aware of where you sit on the totem pole I guess! (And it was sad because the majority of the people who did this were my mom's family!! I hate my mom's family now!! Lol)

Glad that the ideas have helped. I got this cool card deck of wedding tips. I haven't had time to read over them all. So if i find other good ones i will post them.
My FMIL got re-married this past summer and she didn't have tooo many people not RSVP. So hopefully we'll have the same luck.
