When you design your wedding invitations, you’ll need to decide whether you want to collect your RSVPs with a traditional response card or online.
Ditching traditional RSVP cards means you’ll save money on postage and simplify the process for your guests. But how do you tell your wedding guests to RSVP online? Let’s explore the best ways to incorporate online RSVPs into your wedding invitations and provide some creative wording ideas for your RSVP cards.
How to Add an Online RSVP to Your Wedding Invitations
Incorporating online RSVPs into your wedding invitations can be seamlessly done with a couple of options:
Option 1: List Your RSVP Website
Including a direct link to your wedding website where guests can RSVP is a straightforward approach. Here’s how to do it:
- Create a Wedding Website: Set up a dedicated wedding website using a platform like The Knot. Ensure that the website includes an RSVP section where guests can easily confirm their attendance.
- Include the URL on Invitations: Print the URL to your wedding website prominently on your wedding invitations. You can either add this on the backside of your invitation or include an extra information card. These little cards are handy for including your online RSVP and any extra details you want to communicate. Think travel details, registry or even a dress code.
- Set an RSVP Due Date: Alongside the URL, include the date guests need to RSVP by.
Option 2: Add a QR Code
For a modern touch, consider adding a QR code to your wedding invitations. Here’s how:
- Generate a QR Code: Utilize an online QR code generator to create a QR code linked directly to your wedding RSVP page. Ensure that the QR code is easily scannable and prominently sized.
- Placement on Invitations: Include the QR code on your wedding invitations, preferably on the RSVP card or a separate insert. Provide clear instructions for guests on how to scan the code using their smartphones.
- Brief Explanation: Accompany the QR code with a brief explanation of its purpose. Guests who may not be familiar with QR codes will appreciate a simple directive on how to use them.
