Many of you woke up this morning with wedding invites in your inboxes. After an all-night crunch-session of wedding guest data entry–facilitated by Devil’s Backbone Vienna Lager and DC Brau The Citizen–I managed to send out wedding invites to the majority of our guest list at 1 am. As the RSVPs have rolled in, we’ve noticed a few issues I’d like to address here.

1. If your invite is addressed to two or more individuals, one of you is the designated primary guest, and the others are additional guests. So, consider the following scenario:

– My friend, let’s call him Patrick, receives a wedding invite from us in his email.

– The invite is addressed to Patrick & Evelyn; Evelyn is Patrick’s “supposed fiance”

– Patrick will RSVP for him and will have the option of RSVPing for one guest, Evelyn

– It will look like this:

Your RSVP

Patrick Bateman
patrickbateman@pierceandpierce.com          Attending   Change
Update information

+ Bring a guest      One more available

– Patrick will RSVP for himself, then click “Bring a guest” to RSVP for Evelyn Williams.

So if I sent an invitation to your email for you and your spouse, the invite is actually tracked as you +1. If I sent you an invitation for you, your spouse and your two kids, the invite is tracked as you +3. If you are both planning on attending, please be sure to include each guest that you have been allotted. You will have to manually enter each name.

2. Make sure you click “Open Invitation” when you get the email containing the wedding invitation. It will have all the information you need for Oct. 19.

3. Don’t act like you don’t know how to use a computer and/or the internet when you do.

Seriously though, if you have any questions regarding RSVPs, please send us a message.
