DIGITAL WEDDING INVITATIONS
Going paperless is a great way to save money, and email wedding invitations can be as lovely as their physical counterparts. With the right approach and attention to detail, you can create all the panache of a traditional invitation at a significantly lower cost.
THE RSVP: Remember, the wedding invitations require a response.
1. Your RSVP deadline should fall three or four weeks from when your guests receive them, and two to three weeks before your wedding date. That's enough time for you to get a final head count and to finish your seating chart.
2. If your guest doesn't answer be free to remind them about it.
3. Be sure to ask how they are doing. Let them know in a nice way, that the RSVP deadline passed and you still need a response.
4. Let them know how important is for you if they will present, share with them your special day. Say thank you to them and wish them well.
After the wedding, the THANK YOU CARDS should have the groom's name first.
