Maura, you will love this. Mandy's AHR was last Friday night and TODAY (one week later) I got a call from someone saying they were sorry they couldn't make it. Thanks, people, for the heads up and stating the obvious!

[rant on] It's not just that, it's that technology is replacing human contact, especially the current cell phone culture. It's as if, outside of work, people are regressing from social interaction. I know many friends don't have a home phone because they truly want to control when and where people have actual human interaction. You think it's bad here? you should see Japan, it's insane. If you are interested, you should watch the documentary I saw on CBC last week. An internet version can be found here

The reliance on technology is startling. That's just all I gotta say. It's freaky smile41.gif

I read the title of this post and I laughed my head off and had to read this thread!

 

I have to say, I am guilty of being on Facebook, keeping in touch and having fun on there. We even have a Facebook group for our wedding, actually requested by some of our guests. Our guests, some that hadn't even meet yet, wanted to communicate before the wedding about arrivals, sharing rides from the airport, doing activities, and just overall wanted to express excitement and introduce themselves. And then after the wedding everyone became actual friends, not just "Facebook friends" and were sharing pictures, funny memories, uploading videos, and making comments. And for those friends that couldn't make it, they were able to see lots of photos from different guests that attended, not just our photos.

 

BUT as Facebook-friendly as we were, we definitely DID NOT get one RSVP via Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, etc.... Even though, I do know I even asked friends for addresses via Facebook.

 

We sent STD postcards, had a very informative website where you could RSVP and we sent out funky yet traditional style wedding invitations with RSVP stamped cards as well as another card directing them to our website again. Our reply date was 30 days before our wedding. Probably 80% sent us back the reply cards, some used the website, some even did both. We got some reply phone calls, early gifts with explanatory notes and a few apologetic e-mails. A couple people just told us in person.

 

I'm not sure why we didn't get these kind of replies since now I'm seeing that its common for the DW. And I think I gave my guests every opportunity by even having a Facebook group! I would even send out e-mail postcard updates from our website. (gotta love Wedding Windows)

 

I think that sometimes DW have such a laid-back style that people respond in a laid-back way also? Your guess is as good as mine!

Ugh. I relate. I had a freind who was suppose to be a BM contact me on myspace over and over how she was going. She would not answer her phone. But she would leave messages on myspace and finally told me over myspace she wasn't going. UH? Call me? Pissed me off! I did the reverse RSVP. I said RSVP only if you ARE coming. That way I didn't have to keep up with the no's. I totally agree people have no manners anymore. I have to confess I did have an event on facebook for my AHR. I did send out paper invites. But my mom joined facebook and made me make it as a reminder. Whatever. But it wasn't a formal invitation or anything.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
