Hello everyone I dont know if this forum has been done already or not. But I have sent out our wedding invitations Now I'm getting wedding invitations returned because our guest have given us the wrong address. And yes I have been updating out guest list by contacting them. And telling my FH that he needs to ask them if we have the correct address.I'm getting the RSVP cards are coming back slowly because of these little envelopes.That came with my order just want them back on time so that I can tell our carter's and venue for our tables and chairs. So now I'm waiting on my order for more envelopes so I can resend them out. Am I wrong for begin upset

    That's a cool idea that you did your tracking system. I should have thought that, but I do have a list so anyone that I haven't checked off. I know that I have to slide them a text or phone call. But your way is easy peasy 🤣🤣🤣🤣idea

    If I put that in there I haven't had that issues of the names not begin there it's the part of them returning the invitations because they gave me the wrong address when I asked them in advance so the return of the invites wouldn't be a issue. I have giving them enough of time for them to return because we are capped off 65 ppl now if anyone say that they cant come the there is room for a another guest to get a invitation. I'm sorry I'm just running my mouth lol lol good luck with your wedding planning

    My "save the date" mailing was such a disaster that I decided to just do virtual RSVP. I couldn't deal with the USPS again. I just hope all the invitations make it where they need to go when the time comes to send them. Good luck to you. Sorry I don't have any advice. I think it is perfectly fine to be annoyed. I think you just gotta start texting/calling everyone if they don't make the deadline/things are returned.

    Don't feel bad, we sent out 100 invitation and only 20 was sent back. We had to send them the link to our website and still, no one accept/decline. We wasted our money on stamps to mail them out and for the return rsvp.

    Yes yes exactly but some of our ppl dont check there emails and some who are just old skool lol lol so I text them and asked them so if they say yes or no I write there names down and tell them once you get the invitations send back the RSVP card back. So now that's where we are lol lol thanks we all are in this boat together with this wedding planning stuff 🤣🤣🤣

    Yea it’s definitely not cool at all. At least I was able to catch it ahead of time but it’s definitely frustrating and also, finding out the post office is messing me up too is not fun. But I never had such a great laugh as I did trying to contact everyone. I want to bed laughing so hard because my family new/old are definitely interesting especially with the comments of those who signed and those who didn’t. Priceless moments

    I haven't done it but this app I believe can help you with that but you have to get all of there emails. I sent everyone our registry by text but I told them that they can do that too. Incase that post office is running slow. This where I have there names written already and check them off.

    The Knot’s website and their RSVP tool are very very easy to use.

    I’m already using Minted for the wedding website and have the guest list on wedding wire. It’s too much to juggle. thanks for the suggestion though maybe someone will find it helpful.

    Your welcome I am using only the wedding wire for the guest list and for the RSVP now on the wedding wire and my planning book that's it. Yes I hope that any advice that we get can help others as well.

    No you are not wrong, I cannot believe people are giving you the wrong addresses, however I did send an invitation to my local dominoes so who am I to question? It seems unnecessary to have to ask people to double check their addresses but apparently we do lol

    Yes because I'm spending more money than I want too like I dont understand ppl sometimes. If you knew that you were going to moving within the last 6mos for the time that I asked you. Why why wouldn't they tell you but your asking me about the invitations. It would have been the time too tell me that you had moved right . Because now I am doing the resend out invitations again. And thank you for your comment and congratulations to you both on your upcoming wedding
