Unique Online Service Replaces Traditional RSVP Cards

 

New York, NY - When Colleen and Jeff Burback got married, they had a limited wedding budget.  "I didn't have the money to hire a wedding consultant, so we planned our own wedding, down to the handmade favors", explains Colleen." 
    When they ordered their wedding invitations, the cost of the rsvp cards was almost as much as the invitations themselves. Instead, the Burbacks opted not to purchase the rsvp cards, and to include their own phone number on the reception cards.  Their guests called in their rsvp's!  Thus an idea was born and quickly has become a part of a growing trend of couples seeking non-traditional wedding ideas.  A Wedding Response is a RSVP Service that handles the time consuming tracking of your wedding rsvps.  Your guests respond to your private toll-free number (supplied by the company), and online at your own wedding wedsite.     

“A Wedding Response is the first online rsvp service."  In business since 1997, & the first rsvp service on the internet, we have helped hundreds of brides & grooms ease the stress of invitation rsvp cards. Our professional staff combined with personal service, make us the leading invitation response service in the country, with clients nationwide.--Colleen Burback, A Wedding Response CEO

    Colleen Burback, CEO and founder of A Wedding Response, started in 1997 after leaving a career in electric utilities. When she got engaged and realized she didn't need rsvp cards, she hit upon the idea for her business.  The Burbacks put together their own wedding, and with the wonderful feedback that they received from their guests, created a means for other brides and grooms to eliminate the stress of sending rsvp cards, costly postage fees, and the occasional "lost in the mail" card.  

A Wedding Response's unique online invitation response service helps newlyweds looking for nontraditional wedding  ideas to add something different to their wedding that their guests will remember.  Colleen Burback - A Wedding Response CEO & Founder

"A Wedding Response is the first online rsvp service that  provides a free wedsite, toll-free number and a means for your guests to respond online, all for less than the cost of traditional rsvp cards. " says Burback. "It provides couples with a unique alternative to rsvp cards and a wonderful way for the bride and groom to share their photo and wedding information with out-of-town guests."
    A Wedding Response has experienced a marked increase in clients as more couples are discovering and learning about the easier, cost-effective alternative. To address this growth, the company found the need to provide more efficient and secure Internet services. "With our newly launched site,
www.aweddingresponse.com, we can continue to give our customers the unique and personalized service that A Wedding Response's success is built on," Burback says. "The upgrade to our site allows us to provide faster, more efficient service to our couples."
       Most young couples today, along with their family and friends, access the internet regularly.  Why not put your wedding on the web too?  A wedding web site or "wedsite" can share important information such as pictures, directions,  gift registry info., etc.  Our free wedsite allows your guests to rsvp online as well as by phone.  Colleen Burback believes the time has come for an invitation response service like A Wedding Response. She has recommended the idea to several soon-to-be-married friends. By using A Wedding Response for your  wedding, it will be less stressful, & you won't have to worry about the guests.
