Do you send reminder postcard invites to guests that declined the evite? I was thinking it would be a reminder for them in case circumstances changed and they could attend afterall or it may help them to remember to place an outside order. What do you think?
 
I send the postcards 1st.
 
I think it's a good idea to send reminder postcard invites to guests who declined the evite. It not only serves as a reminder for them in case they are able to attend after all, but it also shows that you value their presence and would love to have them at the event. Additionally, it could also serve as a reminder for them to place an outside order if they haven't already. Overall, it's a thoughtful gesture that could potentially increase attendance or orders at your event.
