Step 2: Group your contacts together by invitation. A unique RSVP ID will be assigned to each new invitation. This RSVP ID is to be written on the back of your RSVP for identification purposes. Many times your guests will not write their names on the RSVP, this helps that process. When you mail your wedding invitations, mark them as being sent...you are now expecting RSVPs. Also, inner and outer envelope wording is automatically suggested based on accepted wedding etiquette. |

Step 3: Record who has responded, both acceptances and regrets. For those who have accepted, enter their meal selections. You will start to see how your wedding is shaping up. Note: On average 20% of your guests will send their regrets. Example: If you invite 200 people expect 160 to say Yes, 40 to send regrets. |

Step 4: Review headcount, meals and design your table layout. The table layout feature is powerful and flexible. Specify how many tables you want and how many guests each table seats. Once they are added to the floor layout, drag them to the desired location. Next, drag and drop unseated attendees to the desired table. Seating guests is like a puzzle; because of this we provide the ability to swap guests between two tables, so you can quickly see what different seating scenarios look like.
