Traditional vs. Online RSVPs

Common Questions

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MAILED RESPONSE AND AN ONLINE RESPONSE?

If you prefer a formal approach to RSVPs, consider using mailed response cards, especially if you would like guests to reply via mail or select their meal preference. Your mailed reply order will come with an A1 envelope, which we recommend pre-stamping and adding a return address for a seamless process.

For a more contemporary approach to tracking responses, consider including a custom QR code on your response cards, which replaces the traditional method of guests filling out their names. With a simple scan using their phone, guests can easily access your wedding website and RSVP in just a few clicks. This hassle-free method saves you time and simplifies the process for your guests. Please keep in mind that Shine Wedding Invitations does not currently provide website services.

When creating your wedding suite with our real-time online suite builder, you’ll have the choice between traditional mail-in response cards or online RSVP options, both of which include a printed response card. Depending on your preference, the content of the response card will be tailored accordingly. If you opt for traditional mail-in responses, your suite will include response envelopes, while online RSVPs omit the envelopes.

I ALREADY HAVE A QR CODE, HOW CAN I SEND THAT TO YOU?

Yes. We can accept QR codes. Your file must be 300dpi in resolution; a transparent PNG is preferred. You can submit this to your designer during the proofing process, or through our contact form prior to ordering. We can also create a QR code for you if it’s easier. We’ll just need the website URL you’d like the code to link to.

CAN I DO ONLINE RSVP?
