RD Invites

It is coming close to the end of the planning process and I am running low on funds so do you think it is completley inappropriate to send an evite out for the RD? I was talking to a BM and she said just rely on word of mouth, but I just do not trust that.

We are buying a house and paying for a wedding and I just cannot justify spending any more money on unnecessary things. If I were in a BP and I got an evite I would not be offended, but I am not sure how other people feel since I am normally very easy going with etiquette rules and such.

WWYD??

I honestly wouldn't be offended to receive an e-vite to a RD. If you feel totally uncomfortable, just go to staples or party city, get some cute paper and print them up yourself.

I think a evite is perfectly fine. I'm just going to text whoever i can and call anyone who i can't text.

My friends who got married last year did an evite and I didn't think twice about it. We'll probably end up doing the same thing.

I had a few invites that were returned to us bc of wrong address so I had to re-print some, and the f*cking thing kept on eating my envelopes!!! I was like whyyyyyy?? It only ate 3 out of the 100 i printed the first time around, now its eating every single one I had to correct?!?!? I beat the printer and I sat in the corner and cried my eyes out....so yea we are not speaking!

I ended up using some cardstock I bought and made my own envelopes. I am a little nervous to hear as to whether or not they held up in the mail...

Yea printers really s uck sometimes. Texting or evite is the way to go wayyy easier than printing and spending more $$ on paper and ink. Hopefully they held up in the mail

Re: RD Invites

we're having a pretty small RD so we're just going to tell everyone to be there the night before the wedding and we should be good to go.

Rephrase-we're going to tell everyone to BE there the night before the wedding. Not actually telling them about the RD the night before

I'm sure I'll feel the same way after doing all my printing too.

My cousin did evites for her RD and I thought it was absolutely acceptable. Especially if it's a low key dinner, I say go for it!

Re: RD Invites

I agree with everyone above -- an evite, email, calls or texts sounds perfectly fine to me for a RD!

That reminded me to call the hotel right now and get an updated OOT booked list just now. We're getting close to our block but she confirmed that I can add more rooms in incriments of 10 so it's not a problem. Sometimes getting married in July has real advantages.
