RSVP cards..what to do with them

mandaleigh, on June 8, 2017 at 3:06 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 12

On our RSVP cards there was an option for a song choice or advice for us on our big day. We have gotten some really good as well as funny advice back (along with some good songs).

I was curious if anyone had any ideas on how we can use them/show them off at the wedding. My initial thought was put the RSVP cards in a photo album and put by the guest book or on our table, but I wanted to reach out to all of you to see if anyone has done something like this or has any other ideas that we could possibly use.

    Some of your guests may prefer their comments remain between them and you.

    Muriel and Sarah make a really good point. When I fill out "advice for the couple" cards at showers and weddings, it's meant just for that couple and no one else.

    You could probably talk to your DJ to see if he or she is willing to announce who requested a particular song, though.

    What could someone possibly write on this type of card that would be so private they didn't want it displayed?

    *scratches head*

    What kind of advice are you guys thinking of that could possibly be so personal?

    In my experience, most people write pretty generic things like, "always communicate", or "be supportive of each other", not "slob the knob every so often". LOL

    Frankly, if you write that nonsense, you deserve to have it publicly displayed.

    The advice cards have been very pg and directed towards FH and I.

    Like don't don't forget to eat you both get hangry

    Don't forget the rings (personal experience)

    I'm a pretty private and reserved person, and regardless of what I put on my rsvp, I would not be happy for it to be displayed for everyone to see. Not going to lie, I'd probably try to figure out a way to remove it from said display.

    Also, I don't really think anybody cares about what advice people gave, so it would likely be a waste of time, energy, and money to put some sort of display together when very few people (if any) would look at it.

    I really think you should skip it. I don't consider myself to be a private person at all, but it would make me feel uncomfortable to have my personal correspondence with the couple put on display.

    I'm dying @ELK, Books, and Gymrat's comments.

    I was so relieved to throw mine away. I'd say remember the advice on your own and then just pitch them. No need for a display.

    @GymRat LMBO - love it!!!

    I think its a cool Idea but at this point I'm to lazy to do anything extra. I would give the songs requests to the DJ though.

    Edit: If your worried about "embarrassing" someone just give them a call tell them you really enjoyed their advice and would like to share it with your wedding guest.
