Wedding invites and registered post

genfoley

Do you send out wedding invites here in Ireland via registered post ?:)

Just wondering

I don't know what the norm is but I'll be posting mine by standard post. Its annoying that you've to sign for it with registered and if you miss the postman you've to go into the post office :eek:

This isnt the first time I've heard of this I am a bit curious myself! I send a good bit of mail by registered post through work and it is 5.25euro a letter, is this the same for bulk sending?? In which case standard mail all the way for me!!!

I've never received a registered wedding invitation. I sent all mine standard, and bar one going to the North, they all got there no problem. I was sending out 60 invitations so there was no way registering them all was going to be an option for me.

I set the RSVP date for 1 month before the wedding (actually a little over 1 month, it was 5 weeks) and anyone I hadn't heard from by the RSVP date, I phoned to make sure they had gotten the invitation alright. Most of them (hubby's side :rolleyes::p) just hadn't bothered to reply yet. But one of his cousins living rurally in the north hadn't received his invitation, so it was still far enough before the wedding that he could make arrangements to go if he wanted to.

I've never got one by registered post.

We sent ours by normal post and every single one was delivered ok (within Ireland & abroad). As toots said, if you haven't heard from people by the RSVP date then you can follow up with them anyway.

Registered can work out very expensive... say for example...
70 invites = approx. 400 yo yo!

If your worried about delivery, post good and early and keep a note of people who don't RSVP. Simply text these guest asking if they defiantly received the invite.

I got married last year and several invites & RSVP's were lost in the post, it was very frustrating and I think some people may have been offended when they didn't get invites. One old friend of mine didn't get hers and it came through the grapevine to me that she was asking why she wasn't invited . All got sorted in the end but do make sure you stay on top of it and remember it is better to ask people who haven't responded if they are coming rather than take a chance.

Just send by normal post, we put a mobile number and email address on our invites to rsvp too and it worked out great, you'll always have to chase up a few to find out if they are going or not.

Ive only gotten mine passed onto me in person by the bride or groom. Never actually heard of Bride/Groom posting Wedding Inivitations. The ones ive known have handed them to people.

Of course I understand not every lives locally. But maybe you have an option to hand majority in person?

To be honest I have only ever received them in the normal post or by hand. And when I was out sending mine earlier today the thought to send them registered didnt even cross my mind.
