In this blog post we’ll cover the benefits of using an online wedding invitation planner to manage your wedding guests and invitations.
Convenience for you and guests
Using a wedding guest manager can be helpful for both yourself and your guests.
Guests can respond instantly without needing to mail back paper RSVP cards. Most platforms such as Crafted Invite are mobile-friendly, allowing guests to RSVP anytime, anywhere. You are able to easily track who has responded, who is yet to respond and easily chase those guests that haven’t responded.
Set clear expectations
When using a wedding guest manager you are able to easily inform your guests about any important factors such as the ceremony date, time and dress type.
With a platform such as Crafted Invite you may specify a deadline for when you expect you receive responses.
Guests can return to their RSVP and change their options up to the deadline.
Ease of management
With Crafted Invite you’re able to export your guest responses from your online wedding invitation planner to a spreadsheet. This can then be easily shared with your vendors such as the person in charge of your wedding stationary, your catering team or your venue.
Manage meals on your online RSVP wedding invitation
You can of course include your meal options on an invitation card, however, you are typically restricted by a small amount of space. This often doesn’t make it practical to include a list of meal options for your guests to choose from. A digital wedding RSVP creator such as Crafted Invite lets you tailor your menu options to each guests. Guests who might be children, or only attending the evening reception might need to see a different menu to those who are enjoying a wedding breakfast.
Share platform access
It’s often easier to spread the workload of planning a wedding with your partner, family member or friend. Crafted Invite allows you to invite multiple account admins. This means that they can help contribute to building out your guest list, adding contact details or generally managing the day to day of the account. Crafted Invite offers this is standard.
Add the extra detail
Regular card or paper RSVP’s often leaves you with limited space. More often than not they are on an A5 piece of card, and while there’s nothing wrong with this method you might not have the freedom to add all the details you want to.
Some additional information you might want to add are things like directions, timings, dress code – to name a few. You might want to recommend hotels in the area so that all your guests are generally together.
If guests do have questions you might find yourself bombarded with text messages. With an online wedding RSVP system such as Crafted Invite you can set up your own FAQ page. This allows you to add questions you think your guests might ask, and provide clear answers for them. The benefit is that guests can access the website and quickly find the information they need.
Summary for using an online wedding invitation
There are many benefits to using an online wedding RSVP system. Above all else it gives you flexibility to add as much detail as you want. You can customise how much information you want from guests, and easily track responses.
