And the RSVPs are rolling in...

OK, not rolling but we've had our first 2 RSVPs. OK, granted we knew that these two people would be attending the wedding, but it's still exciting!

We've gotten some amazing feedback on our 50 things poster and the invitation poster itself. We really liked them both but weren't sure that others would see it our way. A few people even said they are going to frame the invitation!

The other bit of feedback we've been getting is that people liked that we're are asking for RSVPs via phone and/or email. We wanted to do response cards but we weren't sure how to get them into the tube without them being super bent. Also, with postage going up in May, we didn't want our guests to have to supplement postage we placed on the return envelopes.

Not doing response cards was a hard decision for us. We didn't want people to think we were being cheap but we also were trying to be practical. I'm so glad people are seeing it our way. We've made a few alternative choices already - no cake (yeah for cream puffs!), short and non-white wedding dress, ring bowl (instead of pillow) and yellow shoes - we're breaking all the rules!
Did you make a decision you weren't sure people would understand (like forgoing the response cards) only to get support and affirmation of it?
