We opted to send an RSVP card that had three options: Send us an e-mail ([email protected]), call us on our landline phone that we never use but has an answering machine, or use the website which has a form that sends e-mail to the aforementioned rsvp e-mail address.

It saves everyone cost and time, and it was about $100 cheaper to not include stuff that has to be mailed back to us. We paid around $160 for the whole invitation package, which was 75 invites and 50 RSVP cards (some invites don't get RSVP cards, such as my coworkers). I figured that almost all of the people coming to our wedding have e-mail, and for the few that dont, they certainly have phones. It solved the issue with a bare minimum of effort and expense from everyone involved. Though, some brides are particular about that sort of stuff so, as with all things in relationships, talk about them and then see how you can make it happen for her.

I haven't actually stayed there since I live here, but I've been in there and it was pretty cool. It's a new hotel in a city known for its hotels (The US Grant?) and I can't imagine it will be awful.
