I Love Our RSVPs


I'm actually insanely proud of our RSVPs. I know, it's a strange thing to be proud of, but I am.

I know that many bees have had the problem of people not writing their names in the M_____________ spot. Miss Mink solved this by writing a small number on the flap of the envelope. Ms. Gazelle, Mrs. Lox, as well as other bees have bought invisible ink pens that you see with a black light.

I decided to side step the entire problem by printing our guests' names directly on the RSVP. Now, there was no way for them to forget to write their names, and I didn't have to go searching for a tiny number to figure out who sent back their RVSP.



I also added three lines for our guests to give us music suggestions. This was partly a selfish decision because I didn't want to have to make up a play list for our DJ. Keegan and I have such drastically ranging music choices from hard rock to Celtic music so we figured we'd ask our guests what they wanted to listen to.

Some of our guests have given us some good choices,


Yes, my family didn't indicate how many are coming. I feel like its a safe bet to assume they all are.


Some have laughed in our faces...



And some haven't put anything down at all (which honestly annoys me a bit, but whatever.)

These lines also worked out for our guests who are not able to come. Many of them have written us small notes with their regrets.

"I'm so sorry I cannot attend your special day"

"Hope you will visit if you come out East!"

"Very best love to you both - may you have years of great joy!"
 (I think, this one was kind of hard to decipher.)

So yes, my RSVPs are a strange thing to be so proud of, but I am. Some of them have done their original intention and helped us come up with playlist for our DJ, and others have give us some laughs and well wishes from loved ones. 

What have you been most proud of in your wedding planning? Anyone else proud of their RSVPs?
