Collecting your wedding invitation RSVPs is a critical element of planning your wedding and staying on budget. Because when you know your final numbers and other guest requirements on time it's easier for your venue manager, wedding planner or caterer to make provisions for seats, food, and beverages.
This saves you from any unnecessary headaches and costs that come when you over or underestimate your guest numbers or the confirmation comes too late. And any anxiety you’re feeling can take a back seat too!
These ‘per person’ purchases also extend to decor elements like napkins, tablecloths, table numbers and centrepieces and can affect the timing of printing or production of seating charts, escort cards, wedding favours and order of ceremony booklets.
So how much time should you give your wedding guests to RSVP? And how do you make it easier to get your family and friends to RSVP?
From quality print wedding invitations, wedding stationery sets (with save the dates, rsvp cards, wedding invitation cards and bridal shower invitations), paper goods, signs and laser cut items, it’s sometimes confusing for engaged couples to know where to start.
Kate from Bluebelle Studio prides herself on offering custom design services to bring her clients’ vision to life with letterpress, white ink laser-cut, foiling, engraving and printed wood modern production processes.
We asked Kate for her best advice and top tips for sourcing, planning and ordering all your wedding stationery needs.
Like it or not, working out what you (and/or your wedding guests) are going to do with the littlies on the big day is a planning necessity.
In the past, parents would choose to either arrange an off-site babysitter or wrestle/bribe/beg their kids to behave like adults so they can enjoy at least a few hours as a wedding guest. But there are new, inclusive options which mean that children can be looked after and/or entertained in a safe and nurturing environment at the same venue so everyone can have fun.
Win win, yes?
