Email RSVP DOs and DON'Ts
Do your wedding/simcha invitations include an EMAIL RSVP
request? You and your guests need to be
sure that you received the RSVP! How do
you ensure this? Simple!
(1) Create a wedding/event specific email (they’re free on
gmail, yahoo and so on). Don’t use your
regular email; it’s too easy to get your RSVP emails LOST! Make sure to use an easy to remember and type
email address, such as bridename.groomname@gmail.com. Keep the password simple!
(2) Create an automatic-receipt email (this is called Vacation
responder in Gmail), which can be set to send an automatic response once an
email is received.
In the Subject Line key
in: “Thanks for the RSVP” and a similar message in the message text box, such
as “Thanks for the RSVP. We hope to see you at our simcha. Signed the bride and groom or the bride,
groom and the parents”.
Unfortunately these
simple email systems cannot read the email and determine if someone is
attending or not. You will need to read
each email and then move them to folders marked Attending or Not Attending to
keep your records tidy.
