This may seem a bit intimidating especially if their are limited venues or if there are more than a few options. However there are a few tips to remember when considering this aspect of your planning, so that your event can run as smoothly as possible and become a success.

Limit amount of people who RSVP (Wedding)

One question that we have seen asked so many times, is how can I limit the number of people that guest will RSVP for on their invitation. Planning for unexpected guests or having unexpected guests show up at your wedding is a big concern for brides, simply because it has a big effect on how much the wedding costs. It can also be very embarrassing and when guests show up and have nothing to eat or no place to sit at the reception.

MyRSVPLive.com has the answer to this problem. When you use MyRSVPLive.com to accept replies for your wedding invitations, the system will allow you to specify a maximum guest count for each invitation. When your guests call in to RSVP, along with asking them if they will be attending your event the system can ask them how many people are going to be attending in their party. If they enter a number larger than the maximum number you specified for their invitation, the system will tell them that the invitation only allows for a certain amount of people and they must RSVP for that many people or lower. If your guest RSVPs for less people than the invitation allows then the guest count will be adjusted for that invitation so at the end of it all you will have an exact guest count for your event.
