I’m trying to decide how to set up my response cards which will be included in my wedding invitations. Originally, I was going to do the traditional "mail back" card with the pre-stamped, pre-addressed envelope. However, with other events I have seen a serious lack of response from doing that. It’s almost as if people are too lazy to drop a pre-paid piece of mail in the mailbox.
I’m thinking about asking my guests to RSVP only to a wedding website (it has a nifty little RSVP function on it that it really simple to use), or for the people who may not have access to computers or the internet, add my phone number. Do you guys think I would get a better response that way? Or is this one of those "wedding etiquette" rules that I don’t even know I’m breaking?
I’m making my own wedding invitations and want gliiter to stick to small hearts and other detailed objects I will stamp on, how do I do this with loose glitter? I have made cards before,although it has been a while, but for some reason I just can’t think of what to do.Help!
Our wedding is in less than four week’s and my FH’s family are just NOT getting it. They are used to very informal family gatherings, and don’t understand our wedding invitations.
Our wedding:
–is SMALL, so we are asking folk to leave children at home (so we can afford to have more friends attend)
–has a website, which explains our gift registry, directions to the site, dress code, etc.
All this information is explained (NICELY) on the invites and in the many, many emails we’ve sent out.
BUT… my future in-laws are being hopeless.
My husband-to-be’s family–mostly cousins–will not send their RSVPs (they already have stamps on them!!), but insist that they are all coming. They are also insisting that they are going to bring un-invited guests with them… sometimes four or five extra people!!
Also, when we talk to them, they say vague things like, "Yes, we will probably stay for dinner" and "The grandkids may join us, depending on which car we drive up there."
This is driving me crazy!! They seem to think this is a pot-luck picnic, but it’s a semi-formal event. We have a seating plan, etc.
Our caterer, photographer, parking attendant, tent rental…. everything hangs in the balance because these folks won’t get the message and give us a clear idea of their plans.
How can I get the message across to my new family, without looking like an uptight bride?
I’ve never done any stamping before but am making my own wedding invitations and would like to do a stamped image over the printing on the invitations, hotel information, RSVPs, etc. so that the printing shows through the color, almost like a colored watermark. I’ve seen other pictures of homemade invites that they said were made this way but when I went shopping there are so many different inks!! What would be the best type of ink that would show good color but still be light enough that typed print would show through. I also want something that will be pretty easy to use since this is the first time I’ve done any stamping.
people who are not a hobbyist say it is a huge waste of money . I notice that on my mail I am lucky if I receive 1 or 2 actual postage stamps a month. During the holidays and when we receive wedding invitations is the only time we get real stamps in a good amount . will the United States ever phase them out or will they survive do to the hobby . the penny is a great waste of money to produce too but is still made.
We’re sending out wedding invitations and we will be including RSVP cards/ envelopes. But instead of putting the stamps on the RSVP envelopes, we’re thinking of paperclipping them to a slip of paper that says "Here’s a stamp for the RSVP card. If you chose to respond online (website url), the stamp is yours to keep." Do you think that will entice people to respond online? Any suggestions for different wording?
I am not sure how to explain it but here it goes. I am looking for stick figure rubber stamps…I am trying to make wedding invitations for my brother and his fiance and they want the stick people, and am hoping to find a rubber stamp.
I just realized the wedding invitations were mailed without a stamp on the rsvp card. I feel terrible and don’t know how I could have forgotten. Should I possibly send a little note to each person with a stamp??
