I sort of did the same thing. I got a DIY invitations package from Michaels that had 2 inserts. I used one for the "formal" invite (so and so, along with their parents etc...) and then I used the insert for some of the details. We are having a DW so the insert was used to say where we were staying, who to contact to place the deposit, etc... Then I added something like this - To RSVP and to keep up on all the planning, visit our website at blahblahblah.com. The website also contained all the info my guests needed. A link to the resort and a link to the travel coordinators website and contact emails. You can place directions to the venue and have the menu or meal preferences listed. You can make it all your own. Plus, with your FI being a web guy, it will look fantastic!
So far it''s been really good. Everybody who has placed their deposit has RSVP through the website. I think the website idea is great! Myself, I tend to lose/misplace things so when I get a wedding invite in the mail with a seperate little RSVP card, I always lose it and then just end up calling or emailing the couple to let them know that I am coming. Also, this way you don''t have to pay for the postage on your guests'' cards. Good luck! |

We did this too. We sent out invitations that had inserts instead of RSVP card. One insert said RSVP at the top and then "Please visit our website www.ourwebsite.com to RSVP and find more wedding details. Please kindly reply by RSVP Date." The other insert just had the addresses for the ceremony and reception.
So many of our guests have commented on how great the online-rsvping was and also just about how helpful the website is in general. Good luck! |

Haha! I told FI that I think I am supposed to go first.... he apparently didn''t listen. Maybe I''ll mention it again tonight. I''m almost positive bride should go first, right? |

Great colors! So, are you thinking about adding the website and information about it on the invitation itself or as an insert? My FI is a computer scientist, so we actually formatted our insert as an FAQ. It was kinda cheesy, but so are we, and our guests got a kick out of it. You could do something like that and put a blurb about why it is meaningful to the two of you to have a more interactive/web-based wedding. You could also format the site more like a blog, too, so that your users could make posts and comments if you think they would really get into it.
