Still stinging from not being invited to my niece's daughter's destination wedding a few weeks ago. I am the only living Aunt on my niece's dad's side - my older brother, parent's, etc., passed away a number of years ago. Not that we would have traveled several hours away to the wedding but the fact that we we were ignored is hurtful. Especially when my nieces profess how much they love me and when you see the photos splashed all over social media; and the group photo shows over 100 people at the wedding ...little kids included. I'm in my late 60's and this is something I won't forget anytime soon! Forgive? Of course. Forget? No way! When people show you who they are, believe them ...
Hi, didn't know exactly what RSVP as in the french definition but I knew it had to do with responding 😊very helpful video. My daughter is getting married mid September and we just mailed most of the invites however without RSVPs to be mailed back. Instead, they have an online site for that and it includes other information such as venue directions, registry and so on. At first, she didn't want to do traditional invites but i explained to her, older guests(let's say 50+)tend to be more traditional and want that mailed invited, I tend to be traditional and yes, I'm over 50+😊. I wanted to have something to place with my family keepsakes.
Hi, where does the return address go on the RSVP cards?
I have a question. My nephew is getting married in north carolina mountains next year and he and his fiance are asking for $300.00 gifts per couple so that others can give a gift for them for their honeymoon. I told him I will make that decision Not you. HE said he needed to know how much WE intend to give them, when we make the 11 hour drive up there from Tampa Fl. I told him since its going to cost us rather alot of money for gas, a place to stay, you are NOT Going to get 300.00 from us, for your Honeymoon to Europe. THE invitations were not by mail but by email to save them stamps. They told this on their invitation that they wanted this amount so they know how to budget for their honeymoon in ITaly and France. How would you both deal with it. She is a traveling pediactric nurse, he is still in college living in a nice apart they both pay for.. how nervy are these two kids in their 20's to ask for everyone to give them a set amount. I also told him that he forgot that when he was 12 years old my husband and i worked very hard to get him his first camera, he only had it for 3 weeks after i paid $350.00 for it, i had to work all week to pay for it, and then after he got bored with it, his mother sold it for $500.00 and profited from this. I told him your money is in the camera, because you are so rude and tacky to ask us for that kind of money ask your mom where is the $350.00 camera that you sold for $500? I told him i already gave you your gift i AM NOT GIVING YOU ANY GIFT. How would you handle this??
Yikes!!! Well, it’s a bit presumptuous (and frankly, rude) for anyone to “expect” cash from their wedding guests. While it’s always nice to receive cash as a wedding gift, it should never be expected. I’m sorry to hear you’re being out in such an awkward position. Good luck navigating all of that!
she's perfect....
I just wanted to applaud you for being direct and to point, and for not tooting your own horn for the entirety of the video like most venue owners doing videos, Thank you
Hello, my rsvp only has a long line and I would like to only say the number of people invited, and I would like to indicate that. Is this fine?
Why not just write their name on the rsvp card to begin with?
Someone wanted to bring the 3 kids she babysat for!!! The invitation said adults only!!! She was told oh hell no!!!!!!!!
Thank you for explaining this and using all the examples. This helped me a lot. Very good video 👍🏽
super helpful! thank you!
So glad you found it helpful!
Why no videos?
Thank you. This was very helpful and I'm happy I found this before sending out my invitation are RSVP cards.
Oh good!! So glad to hear it was helpful!
$50,000 for a wedding? Good god. My partner and I are trying to stay under $5000.
Hey, I’m Making and sending out my own invitations and RSVPs and I’m confused as to how I would get my RSVPs back. Do I also put in the invitation envelope an additional, small “mail back” envelope with a stamp since I’m making them myself?
My question too! And if we add it all in one envelope won’t that back up the mailing cost?
Yes Nika! Within the main envelope you would have a small RSVP card with a matching envelope for the RSVP card to go in. The envelope for the RSVP card would be printed with your address on it (so that the post office delivers it to you) and you would stamp that envelope so that your guests aren't having to dig for a stamp!
Chastity - Yes, the cost for mailing a wedding invitation is usually higher than just a regular piece of mail because of the weight. The weight of the RSVP card and envelope are a part of what contributes to the postage cost.
I didn't know this type of insurance existed but it makes perfect sense. Sounds like a smart thing to invest in!
Great, just learned something new👌🏽
Wow! I never knew anything about a wedding insurance. That's really great to have for sure! Reading fine print really matters.
CzarinaKehoe Thanks for watching!! Hope that info was helpful.
Are you considering getting wedding insurance? What part of the policy coverage I mentioned makes you want to get it?
@@kimberlynotkim Right on, we moved from Pa 21 years ago.
Thanks for this. Awesome insight over this unique situation. The service you provide is so essential. Couples definitely need this approach. Thanks for this wonderful video
Thank you so much!! It’s a rough time for the wedding world for sure, and definitely not easy for all these couples!
Feel for all the couples and wedding vendors during this time. If you need to change your event we have some cards to send out. www.etsy.com/shop/creativeuniondesign?search_query=change+of+plans
Super valuable insight, for anyone going through this! It's an emotional decision, and sometimes a financial one - thanks for sharing! ✨
So glad you enjoyed it!
I feel for all those who have had to postpone their wedding at this time, as you said it’s an emotional time. Thanks for sharing these useful tips.
So glad you think it’s useful! Hopefully it will help some people as they work through this!
I gotta send this video to my friend!
When is your wedding scheduled to take place and are you considering postponing it?
somy krishnan That’s great that you’re able to move dates without a fine!! I know it’s so hard emotionally... I feel like I have this same convo with my clients who are affected, but think how wonderful it will be to actually celebrate when this is all over!
HeidiG curran I’m so sorry you are having to go through this, but I think you’ve made a great decision in light of the current circumstances. I do think it’s important to collect a separate RSVP for the wedding based on the new date, since some guests availability may change with the change of date. To avoid the cost of a new invitation and reply card, you could simply direct guests to your wedding website for details and to RSVP. If you’re sending a change of date card anyway, that language could simply be added to the card so guests know to go to your website for more information and to RSVP. I don’t normally like taking RSVPs online (most of the weddings we plan are fairly formal, so the occasion calls for a more formal invitation process), but these are unique times, so I’m definitely not opposed to going that route!
15th August 🙁 I'm certain the day will still be impacted in some way and definitely the planning and preparation. Playing it safe and moved to 2021 💕
Thanks for watching! Will you be incorporating any of my tips as you prepare to collect your wedding RSVPs and assemble your wedding invitations?
Very informative video! I am engaged and this will help a lot!
Great information!
Thanks for watching! Did you already know what RSVP meant?
Really interesting topic. If i was in this situation and had to make a choice i would say yes to inviting kids. :-) Thanks for sharing.
I agree I also would invite children. I have lots of nieces and nephews(plus my own kids) and I'd want them to celebrate my big with me. It is ultimately the parent(s) responsibility to watch their children at the wedding and reception.

Great video!
Thanks for watching! Are you considering inviting kids to your wedding?
Hitched Academy we opted out of kids at my daughters wedding with the exception of her grandson and that was because both parents were in the wedding
Just planned and had my daughter's wedding and with the expense, no kids except family if you're paying per head. Thanks for this subject.
Yep! The added cost definitely makes a difference!
this is good to know
such a great perspective !
Great tips! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Great video, I just subscribed to your channel. I am not in a situation where I need to make that decision. But I do believe I would invite the kids - I had to make a choice.
What do you think? Are you planning on inviting kids to your wedding?
No the place I’m having it is to risky and financially I can’t afford damage I have 3 kids an I know wedding for kids is not fun, they have nothing to do at a sit down an need to run an play especially ages, there is an open bar and with covid now it’s just to risky we’re on a limit an I am just so shocked people are mad at the no kids! I always thought if you go out on a date night you can come to a wedding without your children, that being said there is some children included immediate family that would not be able to attend without a sitter it’s way to far of a drive for some of our family, but I know way to many people with lots of kids an I know I have to step in here an say no I am just shocked how many are upset about this
Challenging topic! I like the idea of keeping things smaller and more intimate.
I love this! You've given a lot of great info on what can be a very challenging topic for brides & grooms. Looking forward to seeing more!
Sarlas Music Thanks for watching!! So glad you found the video helpful!
My husband and I invited our family and close friends at our wedding. The important people in our lives. :-)
Great tip...know from my own experience!
Gwen Rich Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for watching!! Did any of these wedding guest list tips change your opinion about who you should invite to your wedding?
Awesome tips! I think picking off-peak seasons are a great idea. Only because I like to think in themes. For example, like a winter wedding.
Oh for sure! And depending on where in the country you live... winter can certainly be off-peak!
Very useful tips! I wish I had shared this with my sister before she got married last summer - it would have saved her some $$! :) My husband and I had an off peak / off time wedding (a brunch wedding in October, which left us with more to spend on flowers and food and venue -it worked out really well / was a lovely wedding) Keep up the good work!
+Elizabeth Ritchie Yes!!! Brunch weddings can be so lovely!
Great production, Kimberly! Keep up the great work!
Coming from you, that’s such a compliment!!!
Great tips! I will share this with one of my friends.
Brooklyn Hanna Awesome!! Make sure to point her in the direction of my FREE wedding budget items download too!
