Say I do

Hi just had my wedding few weeks ago so I can say that the answer is YES! all of my guests said I have the best wedding invites lol. I use https://sayi.do/ for wedding website because I was having multilingual wedding so I need multilingual rsvp that I can't find as an option at The Knot, Zola. I also love their design better and added personal touch like wedding icon, illustration using Canva. Everything for free. I was having questions about the language options and the team was super responsive. If you have any questions about it, wanna see snippets of it, happy to help just dm me!

I did it in waves, with the most important people first, then when someone said no I would choose who from the next list to invite. I did it early enough that none of the waves of invites felt last minute. I changed the RSVP due date a number of times so the next wave had enough time to figure it out. I prioritised plus ones for people who wouldn’t know anyone. I like this article https://sayi.do/articles/how-to-organise-your-wedding-guest-list-the-right-way Harder than the guest list was actually the seating plan! I ended up making columns in excel for each group or pair that couldn’t be split up, each column a different colour (each name was in its own cell). Then I made a list of all the table and how many seats were at each. Then I moved the groups around, stacking them into long columns, one for each table. Then I calculated how many seats were free at each table, and checked to see if any of the smaller groups made more sense on that table. It was super easy to move the order of names around in Excel. I ended up with two columns for each table so I could see who was next to and opposite who (I had rectangular tables). Finally I looked at the tables to be sure no one was siting near someone they might have problems with (Montague and Capulets, etc)
