In Traditional way, when we are inviting all the friends and relative to attend the wedding ceremony or reception until the wedding day, here are the common steps:
1. Design a Logo (optional)
2. Custom Design an invitation Card or Buy ready made invitation card or get Free from Hotel/Restaurant.
3. Create a invitation list of all the relatives, friends and co-workers.
4. Identify the group we will manually hand over to them, which group we will call to invite them , which group we will email /facebook them the invitation, which group our parents will contact them. Nowadays, some couples hire wedding planner to do invitation job.
5. Execute the invitation process. Keep track of their response.
6. Keep update the latest invitation list until the wedding date.
7. Link the guest invitation list with the seat arrangement plan.
8. Select a person to handle the guest list and seat arrangement plan on the wedding day.
In order to avoid any mistake and increase the effectiveness, the best way is to do it in the proper management. There are two systems that we can apply for the invitation : Centralized System or Decentralized System. Let me do a comparison .
Invitation System | Centralized System | Decentralized System |
Description | There is only one Master invitation list no matter who is recording. For eg: Bride and Groom are sharing a spreadsheet to update their own guest lists. | Every authorized person record their own invitation list. For eg: Both Bride and Groom ‘s parents, brother and sister do their own invitation list. |

To align with the technology world now, there are a new method to invite the guests through Website Invitation RSVP. Just imagine if you are planning for the western fine dining, how time consuming and a lot of manual work to be done in order to invite the guests and get the response. Sometimes, the invitation card is too small to specify all the detail. If you put every details in the A5 size cards, it might be too cram and complex. If you do not put all the relevant details, then the guests might be helpless. By using the website, you can integrate all your wedding details and updates, such as the wedding date, venue, time, concept, attire, wedding photo, RSVP food option for overseas friends and some recommendations about accommodation, map, travelling guide. For certain extend, you may do the gift registry especially for western wedding ceremony.
