Today we’re launching a great new feature: advanced invitation and RSVP tracking for your MomentVille wedding website!  With each MomentVille website you can create invitations and track responses for different occasions.  This lets you invite and track guests for events such as the rehearsal dinner, the ceremony, the reception, or any other occasion of your choosing.

We’d like to introduce a few basic concepts that will help you to use these great new planning tools for your wedding website.  The first is the idea of an occasion.  Weddings and other special events often have one or more particular occasions around them, such as bachelor parties, showers and of course the wedding itself!  You can track each of these occasions using the same wedding website.

For each occasion you can create an invite.  Once you are ready the invite is sent in a stylish email to your guests.

Guest names and emails can be imported from online email accounts like Hotmail and GMail to make adding guests fast and simple.  You can even arrange guests into groups, so you can have a bridal party group, a family group, or any other group you choose.

You can also associate an invite with an RSVP.  Not all invites need to have an RSVP. For example, you may want to send a ‘Save The Date’ email out to your guest, but may not want to track their responses quite yet.

If you add an RSVP to an invite, the response of the invitees will be tracked, and displayed nicely for you to make your planning even easier.  You can request your guests to give you their mailing addresses and ask custom questions in your RSVP too.  This is a great option for tracking meal choices or any other burning questions you need to ask your guests.

Finally, in the admin area of your website, you can view and export all the responses into a spreadsheet file that will let you do things on your local computer such as mail merges, etc.

For a full description of these tools and how to use them, see our How To section for both RSVPs and Invites.

Happy planning!

You’ve got the perfect mate, perfect date and an ideal location. What could possibly be left? Surprisingly, guests call panicked with the task of finding childcare. Who needs the added stress?

Ask yourself:

• If you make an exception for one family, will others feel resentment?
• If children are allowed, are guests able to enjoy your wedding?
• Would setting an age minimum be fair?
• What about added cost? – Children much prefer pizza or chicken nuggets to $75 per person cordon bleu anyway!

Before wrestling with this decision, seek the services of a local childcare agency to provide care throughout your wedding weekend. Agencies can customize childcare plans that will provide care at hotels or your wedding venue.

Childcare agencies ensure that attending children will enjoy your wedding too – playing and socializing with other children.  Providing childcare is a fabulous and harmonious solution to childcare woes and will make your celebration memorable for all.
