The first site answers two questions that I get from my brides all the time. The first... how do I ask those people who haven't returned their RSVP card yet whether or not they're coming? It's an awkward phone call to make, especially when the guest in question is your boss or someone from your parent's guest list that you have never met before. Well www.rsvpservices.com has answered that question for us! For just $99.00-$159.00 (depending on your package choice), you get your own 800 number and webpage where your guests can RSVP, making guest tracking waaaay easier and doing away with the need for response cards and their postage! The best part though, is that they will follow up with the non-responders either via automated phone call (the $99.00 package) or with a live operator (the $159.00 package). The second question this site answers... how do I tell my cousin that the four other people she RSVP'd for are not invited to the wedding? As part of the $159.00 package, rsvpservices will call those who have invited the uninvited and gently share the news with them.
The second site is a great way to get an idea of what your wedding budget should be based on your geographic area. At www.costofwedding.com you can enter your zip code and it will give you a range of budgets for local couples and the breakdown of how much couples in your area spend on each facet of their wedding. I pulled a couple of the budgets that I had made for Sacramento couples and compared it against the breakdown for Sacramento weddings on www.costofwedding.com, and they are really, really close! I still recommend hiring a wedding planner who will customize your budget for you (like we do)... but this site is a great way to determine what a realistic budget is for a wedding in your neighborhood.
Wishing you all the sweet life,
