I had a really big baby shower and I encountered the same problem with RSVP. So, I gave people many ways to RSVP. I had the cards sent, I also gave an email address to which they could rsvp, and I set up a voice mailbox (kind of like a sub-mail) where they could rsvp. On the voicemail, It just had my regular message and I also said "If you are calling to rsvp for the shower press 2...". That way, people who are not so inclined to walk to the mailbox and put an envelope in, could either pick up a phone or email it to me. It actually worked well. A lot of people emailed. Then, of course, a few days before the event I had my "hostesses" call the people who had not responded. Hope this helps.
