Do you send Rsvp's to Everyone?

Kelsey, on June 29, 2018 at 21:30 Posted in Plan a wedding 0 9

I think the only reason im sending invitations to my parents/bridal party is for a keepsake.

But am i suppose to add the RSVP's to my parents, and his parents, as well as our wedding party. of course they will be attending. and the reception is being held in my parents backyard. It makes me feel a little rude sending them an RSVP card when the wedding is happening at their house.

Also i feel like the wedding party is all just going to say "yeah ill be there" opposed to sending back an RSVP card

    If you're having a plated dinner it might be good to ask them what their preference will be and rsvp them yourself for counting purposes.

    We did the same thing as Erin. Everyone received an invitation and everyone needs to RSVP online and choose their meal.
    I would definitely still send an invite to everyone including the bridal party and immediate family, it makes for great decor on your fridge! If I were having a backyard wedding at my parents and my guests didn't need to choose their meal, I probably wouldn't send my parents an RSVP, but I would still send RSVPs to everyone else, including the bridal party. As an example, maybe they have a plus one that needs to be accounted for?

    We sent everyone invitations but asked that they RSVP online. We needed to know what people wanted to eat and if they had allergies so everyone got an RSVP request.

    We are going to be just sending invitations, and then having people RSVP online on our wedding website so that while RSVP’ing, they can also make a meal selection.

    I asked everyone to RSVP because I used those RSVP emails as our count and seating chart.

    Giving RSVPs to the parents isn't needed as they are there for you on your day. Wedding the same as you have them by your side at the ceremony site.

    Other guests Including cousins and more should get the RSVP card.

    We are also sending family and wedding party invites for keepsake purposes. We really just need our wedding parties RSVP on their plus ones.

    My in laws rsvp’d and our wedding is on their farm. They just rsvp’d through our website and I rsvp’d for my parents bc like you said you know they’re attending. I didn’t expect my in laws to aha I think my mother in law was just excited. I don’t think it’s necessary to give them a card if that’s how you’re doing yours just an invite for keepsake is nice.
