An exciting new development on the website today. We launched the ability to gather and track guests coming to your event. Most people would call it RSVP, but since most of my readers speak English, I really don’t know where to go with this. J’ai décidé que le reste de mon blog sera en français. Si vous désirez une traduction, je vous suggère d’utiliser le traducteur de Google à retourner à l’anglais. Okay, that is not going to work. Let’s just talk about RSVP’s.
RSVP is an abbreviation for the French term “Répondez s’il vous plaît”. Literally translated, “respond if you please”. RSVP’s are often requested for any formal event, but are also common for many informal events. It is considered proper etiquette to RSVP when requested, even if you are not planning on attending the event. The guest list gathered from people who RSVP, gives the person hosting the event an estimate of how much food or supplies they should buy. It also confirms that the invitation was received and appreciated. It is polite to RSVP quickly after the invitation is received to make sure that the host meets any deadlines that they may have in the planning process.
Our new RSVP feature allows the wedding couple to compile a guest list all in one location. To use the function, just change the “Enable RSVP” option to Yes on the “Create My Invitation” page. 
Because you can use MyInvitationLink.com for more than just your wedding invitation, there is a brief form that appears to gather information about the event that you are requesting RSVP’s for. It includes the date, time and address of the event. This information will show up on the RSVP page when a guest views the invitation and clicks the RSVP button.
The list will get long and needs to be easy to manage. We created the ability to add additional guests who may RSVP in other ways than through your online invitation. This way, you can keep your guest list in one easy to access place. You can also edit your RSVP list to ensure that there are no duplicate or miscounted entries. Once your list is complete, you can export the list to Excel and print it as a count for your caterer or planner.
This new RSVP function will be a valuable feature for current and future users of MyInvitationLink.com. We are excited to offer this service without any additional charge. It is included for free with your invitation. I invite all users to use the new RSVP function. Taking advantage of this great function will be enough of an RSVP for me.
Hey,
I was wondering if the guest list is private, so other guests cannot access who is on the complete list.
thanks
The guest list is private. You will have access to this list from your “Make Your Own Invitation” panel.
