oh gosh i hope we don't have this problem! STD magnets were delivered to my house today, website printed on there (once!) but we are depending on alot of people getting their info from our site.
let me know if it gets better, i hope it does!!
Well, I certainly didn't mean to scare anyone. I am hoping that once we send our invitations out in January (with the website prominently listed, again) people will start to take the hint. I'll let you know how it goes.
What wedding website do you use? nurseamanda do you have a good website for magnet STDs?
haha you didn't scare me, i'm just preparing for the possibility! I'm sure they will get the hint, but yes keep us posted!
@Girlinlove-- I replied to your other post too, but just in case, I used mywedding.com. Love the site, just wish people would go there!
No one knew about our wedding website, either. ;) People are not terribly observant all the time.
No one noticed my website either! We continually got questions about where we are registered and basically no one booked rooms out of the block we set aside. Thankfully, we didn't have to pay for unbooked rooms!
I'm positive that this is going to happen with our families - to the point that it's really tempting to change the message for my cell's voicemail... "Hi, you've reached Serya. If you are calling with questions about the wedding please visit our website, www._____.___. Buh-bye!"
We had this problem, too. It seemed like we got questions every week leading up to the wedding about where we were registered, where they should book rooms, directions for how to get there, etc. It was annoying, especially after we'd put the information right on the invitation. Just one of those things, I guess...just like knowing that no matter when you send them out, you will never get 100% response rate for your RSVPs.
the story of my life
and once they did find the website, you have no idea how many people asked for the password. It's on the STD and it says on the website it's the groom's last name ... also on the STD.
Well, I'm glad other people are having problems. Now I'll know what to expect and won't get frusterated with my guests (especially older ones) who don't know where to look!
Maybe we should include a hotel enclosure in the invites down the road too...
UGH! SAME thing happened with us. Not only that, but people are asking WHEN the date is. Seriously people? What do you think is sitting on your fridge door? The date is on there! Other people are wondering when we're sending out our invites so they can get their plane tickets. I told them, "well, that's why we sent out our save the dates early, so you could book your tickets!" I don't understand people. Sheeesh
Our STD's went in the mail yesterday and that very topic was one of the things on my mind as I walked to the post office. I sent out an email to our immediate family members this morning with the wedding website and the direct link to the hotel reservations. I hope this helps get the word out!
we had a mix of both. I had some friends that checked our wedding website weekly and would ask me to post up new things for them! And I had family (mostly) that regularly asked questions about things which were on the site. I directed them to the website often enough that they finally got it!
@Serya: Great idea about having it on your voicemail! We had a lot of people asking our families things though so that wouldn't have worked too well for us.
Serya, I totally agree with MissAsB. Great idea! I am seriously considering it myself.
Same thing happened to us! I thought people would realize wedding websites are pretty common these days and notice it in large print on the STDs, but they didn't.
Fortunately it hasn't happened yet... but I have a feeling as the wedding gets closer we are going to get a lot of calls/emails that are very similar!
No one except a couple of people paid attention to the web address on ours either so I sent an email out to everyone, which gave me the chance to switch websites because I was unhappy with mine. I'm sure I'll get asked for the address again. I did have people post on the guestbook right away though, which was nice.
We're doing online RSVPs, so I'm hoping that will force people to go to the website. Hopefully.
Now, I'm a little worried. I'll be putting and insert into my invites now. haha. We're doing online RSVP's as well. No snail mail invloved!
Same thing happened to us too! Which is why we didn't want to do RSVP's online - the website was very clearly marked and so few people noticed it. I really think people just look at STD's for the date and then forget about the other info!
I've noticed that people tend to not pay attention to important details and then end up asking questions that they theoretically should have the answers to. I think it's inevitable, but oh man is it annoying!
People didn't pay attention to our site either. Which for a destination wedding I would have thought more people would pay attention. I still ended up emailing my family/bridal party with all the hotel information so they could help pass on the word.

So, we sent out or STDs months ago. They were postcards with the address of wedding website I painstakingly labored over printed on them. Twice. Once on each side. Seemed to us that no matter which way you looked at it, noticing the web address seemed inescapable. Even so, people regularly ask us about things like what hotel they should stay at. When we reply that they should check the website for the exact information, they continually respond, "What website?"
And I thought we had such smart friends.
So, am I the only one in this boat, or do other bees have similar stories?
