How a wedding planner can help you - part 5

Another important aspect of your wedding are your guests.

You've chosen a date, found the venue, defined a theme and started working on all the elements that would make your day special. But in order to share your joy and happiness with those dear to you, you have to let them know when and how you're getting married.

RSVP management is important for a series of reasons. First of all, the exact number of guests will be asked by the caterer and by the venue when arranging the reception room. It is also essential when putting together the seatting plan and ordering any favours.

However, this does not imply only sending the invitations and waiting for your guests to arrive on the day. You should:
- keep clear records on who has answered and who hasn't,
- chase after late respondents,
- keep track on what special requirements are mentioned,
- be able to respond to any enquiry the guests may have.

For a bride enjoying the creative parts of the organisation process, but not necessarily looking forward to the administrative aspects, a wedding planner can do all these. They can also advise on how to design the information pack you send to your guests in order to make it easy for them to reply in due time.

These are some thoughts on RSVP management. Stay tuned for next Monday's post when we'll be looking at wedding day management!
